FIRST VOYAGE OF
ITS KIND
MANILA MAN'S ENTERPRISE
Pan-American Airways oflice in Manila can claim the distinc- tion of selling, and Mr. S. D. Winship, a Philippines business- man, the distinction of buying, the first ticket over issued entitling the holder to travel entirely around the world by air. Manila will be the starting place of this unique fight-the first com- plete aerial circumnavigation of the world by regularly established routes. The total fare is 4,010 pesos (HK. $6,924), which includes the fare be- tween Manila
und Hongkong. Pant American Airways has not yet re- leased for publication its rate be tween Manila and Hongkong, but it is understood to be approximately 1LX.$300.
Seven of the major airlines of the world will help to carry the Manila business man, who is president of the Enstern Isles Import Corporation, around the world. He expects to leave Manila on Thursday this week on board a trans-Poelde Clipper, and be back in seven months of leisurely flying.
This is not the first aerial circum- navigation of the world, but it is the first to be attemped by a paying passenger on reguarly established air- lines. Other trips, notably the one in which three journalists participated, have been in the nature of stunts, in which specially chartered-planes or
steamers were used.

The storm struck on March 10. Included in the missing men are 270 Japanese and 180 Australiano. It is feared that the fleet has been entirely destroyed, making this the
