8:26
Table Mountain , Capetown , had no word of the mail . Then I caught the Yukon Station . The mail flyer had come down on the North Polar side -- was already crossing Hudson Bay . At 8:26 it landed on Eastern Island . A deluge of Venus despatches overwhelmed me . But the mail news , before I could even begin to handle my section of it , was far overshadowed . Venus , now at 8:44 was calling us by helio .
