reports that while flying one of
his favorite routes between Coff
ee Creek and Rainbow Camp, he
saw a message in white against
a blackened hillside on Skookum
Creek in the area where there
was a big tundra fire this sum

“Sig—John—Hans—
“Come down and see me some
time.”
The letter were about 8 feet
high and easy to read from a
considerable elevation. The sig

the author of the message had
run short on the popular per

out by the Scott Tissue Co. Pil

When interviewed, Pilot John

his motor loud banshee yells and
wailings as of a spirit suffering
from intense loneliness or equal

and Kaklameloks. and shivering
would shove the throttle wide
open and streak for Deering.
Pilot Hans Mirow of the Mirow
