MUNZ CRACKS-UP PLANE
WHILE WOLF HUNTING
Saturday, Bill Munz and G. R.
Jackson, who were on a wolf
hunting trip, cracked-up about 20
miles south of Wales. The shock
cord on one of the skis of the
Stinson plane in which they were
flying, had broken loose on the
take-off at Wales, and was htc
cause of the plane being wrecked
when an attempt was made to
land the plane. Both of the oc
cupants of the plane were shaken
up a bit, but were able to walk
away from the plane, in fact, they
walked to Point Spencer, a dist
ance of over 30 miles, in about 18
hours, where they were picked
up by a Wien Airlines plane, sent
to meet them.
Aside from being tired, neither
Bill Munz nor Grant Jackson suf
fered any great hardship.
