Days on Glacier
Pilot Bob Reeve of Valdez Lands
in Two Feet of Snow; Waits
Weed for Takeoff.
VALDEZ,—Pilot Bob Reeve of
Valdez returned to his home port
here recently after being stuck
in the snow on Columbia G-’.acier
for seven days.
Reeve, made what he thought
would be the last trip on wheels
! to the Ruff and Tuff mine with
D. S. Beals, a mining engineer,
Jack Hoar, part owner, and an
other passenger.
He had landed on the glacier a
i few days before in a few inches j
of snow and circling over the
same spot saw his wheel tracks
i 1
very plainly.
Two Feet of Snow
He went in for a landing to
find instead of three inches of
| snow, about two feet. The plane 1
with a landing speed of 65 miles
| an hour, came to a complete stop
in 50 feet, but otherwise there(
were no ill effects.
Reeve knew they were in for
| a long stay unless they could
make a runway, but the snow
proved too fresh and light and
several take off attempts failed.
They had supplies, sleeping
bags and the mine cabin was only
five miles away. The first night
Beals was too tired to walk the
distance so he slept near the
plane in one of the bags. The
! others went to the cabin.
They were circled several times
by planes, one of their most in
sistent callers being Pilot Jack
Peck of Valdez. Another was
Morgan Davies of Anchorage.

from the marooned party each

"At Chicago, strange to relate,
I ran into Billy French of Can

station. They were leaving for
Denver. How I met them out
of 4,000,000 other people is some
thing I can’t figure out.”
