The Carey Article

One of the men aboard the USCGC Itasca was James Carey, a college student who had taken a job with the Associated Press to earn money for tuition. He was there to cover Earhart’s arrival at Howland Island, and her subsequent take-off for Hawaii.
One of the pieces he wrote was for the newspaper of the University of Hawaii, the Ka Elele. We reproduce here scans of the original copy; a scan of the article as published; and a transcript of the copy. Also reproduced here are some rough notes for a “flash” – a pre-written announcement of Earhart’s arrival at Howland.
