World Fliers Entertained by Iceland's Prime Minister
Daily Report
by Lt. L. P. Arnold, "Chicago", Mechanic
Today the Prime Minister entertained at lunch for us & the ships captains -- Ogden [mechanic of "New Orleans"] & I appearing in shirts & ties and feeling like burglars.
Skuli Skullison, a local newspaper man [Associated Press] appeared in our midst today. For humor he is a jewel -- assisted as he was by a drunken Swede, Dane, & German. The American press men declaring him the find of the season.
Great crowds gathered #4 ["New Orleans"] all day -- just looking & looking -- this no doubt being the greatest event in Iceland since its discovery. Four warships with about 2500 sailors & 6 airplanes (or on cruisers) has awed the town.
