said Call. “I knew that if
we nosed into the earth we
had little chance of coming
out alive. By speeding up
I was able to raise the wing
that had dropped as I bank
( d. Then the other wing
started to fall. I levelled off
the best I could and struck
the earth doing 115 miles
an hour. The ship came
down at an angle, though,
and not nose first. That’s
what saved us.
“The wheel I was hold
ing was shattered and my
_ hand was cut by it. Herm
anson was sitting with his
legs crossed and that is pro
bably why one was brok
en. My leg was twisted at
the ankle.
“The freight toppled for
ward when we struck the
earth and it took us 45 min
utes to extricate ourselves.
We were doubled over,
side by side and neither of
us could move. We finally
managed to push the freight
back. I climbed out a win
dow and came in the ship
by the door. I helped stret
ch Hermanson out the best
wav possible to save suffer
ing from the leg injury,
and took out the food sup
plies.
“In climbing out the
window I waded in 10 in
ehes of water and got my
feet soaked. They remain
ed soaked all the rest of the
time we were there. I had
i pair of dry socks in my
handbag and I used them at
night, wearing the wet foot
wear all day.”
Pilot Call said the sec
ond day they were in the
wreck he put up a flag to
attract attention of search
ing parties which he knew
would be coming along. He
also scrambled over shell
ice which would barely
hold his weight and carried
spruce bows down from a
30-foot cliff and made a
ring.
When it turned cold the
ring of trees was blown
away and another had to
be built. A red gasoline can
was placed in the center of
it.
“We had plenty to eat,”
Pilot Call said. “I lined the
foodstuffs up under one
wing of the ship and call
ed that the kitchen for our
ranch. The gasoline warm
ing pot for the engine made
a pretty good stove.
“When it came along to
Thanksgiving we had a spec
ial treat. I found a sample
tube of chicken boullion
and mixed it with hot wat
er. I don’t know when such
a dish was ever enjoyed
more. We were thankful we
were still alive.
“We saw planes flying
around on Thursday but
none of them came very
close. During the eight days
we saw six ships and knew

they were searching for us.
Once a ship came close. It
crossed the river right to
wards us but, because it
was heading into the sun,
j the pilot evidently was
!blinded and couldn’t see us
sitting there beside the riv
er.
The pilot said if his ship
had crashed 20 feet down
river it would have nosed
into a 30-foot cliff, which
probably would have meant
certain death.
After the first few days
of waiting, Hermanson be
came delirious and requir
ed attention every few min
utes, Pilot Call said. The
injured man tried to climb
out of the plane several
times and did many pecul
iar things because of his de
lerium, he said.
“I couldn’t go away from
the ship for more than 30
minutes at a time,” the
pilot said. He added that he
got no sleep during the 8
day period, partly because
of the cold and partly be
cause of the injured man.
“I had to sit and stamp
my feet all night to keep
them from freezing. Herm
anson was bundled up in a
sleeping bag and blankets.
I used the motor cover as a
blanket.”
Eight inches of snow fell
during the lone vigil on the
river bank. The tempera
ture ranged downward
from 10 below zero and the
wind ranged upward from
30 miles an hour.

HAVE YOU TRIED
COM A X COAL ?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. H. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plum
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
