These are just my thoughts on Betty's notes. I've used a bit of artistic licence. I think the the 'N.Y.' reference is actually 'MAYDAY'. 'MAYDAY' is an international distress signal adopted in 1927.

Something that sounded like NY.That was the last I could hear.
I also think that they thought they had landed on McKean Island, although they probably landed on Gardner Island.
There is clearly quite a bit of two way communications between AE and Noonan, then theres communication with the outside
world, also they seem to hear in incoming communications. Theres a lot going on. I'm ready for 'hub caps' in my direction.
No doubt Betty missed quite a bit.
