THE ARCTIC MIRACLE
Alaska Weekly
We do not wish to detract from any
man’s well earned glory and had Maj
or Martin been a martyr to the glory
of his country we would have held our
peace. Now that he has turned up
safe and sound needing only a “shave
and a bath,” according to his own
statement, to be once more as good
as new, we cannot resist unburden
ing our mind of a few of the thoughts
that have been disturbing us for some
days, culminating in righteous indig
nation over the mock heroics now be
ing generally indulged in by Seattle

papers over the “epic miracle of the
Arctic.”
The above mentioned “epic miracle
of the Arctic,” consists of the fact that
two men, well-clothed, with plenty of
food, firearms, and compass, maps and
charts, were able, it seems, to nego
tiate a twenty-five mile hike on the
shores of the Aleutian Peninsula in a
period of five days.
I The Seattle Post Intelligencer in
! forms us that “their escape will ever
: be one of the epics of the North.” We
rise to say that any town in Alaska
will furnish a hundred men who will
take half the clothing, half the food,
and none of the equipment for keep
ing themselves properly orientated
which these flyers had, and consider
themselves wonderfully outfitted for a
prospecting trip into the same district.
We are just a little sick of the ‘“frozen
wastes,” and “Frozen silences,” and
other melodramatic phrases with
which the country is being regaled.
Big game hunters have been out for
bear, “camping out,” in this district
for the past six weeks.
We are perfectly willing to admit
that an aeroplane crashing into a
mountain at sufficient speed to totally
wreck the plane while the two occu
pants escaped without a scratch and
with their food supply also intact is
well worthy of being classed as a mir
acle, but further than this we are un
willing to venture into the realms of
the miraculous in connection with the
matter
We may at least be thankful that af
ter a three day rest from the terrific
hardships of the twenty-five mile walk
our flyers were able to struggle into

tell their grief stricken wives and an
anxiously waiting world of their safe
ty.
We know nothing of Major Martin’s
former record as a flyer, or the quali
fications which warranted his being
chosen to command the American con
testants in the world flight, but we do
know that the flagship “Seattle” has
brought no particular glory to the city
of Seattle and that the present sob
stuff concerning the bleak and frozen
wilds of Alaska which is being broad
casted over the world is doing serious
an unwarranted harm to Alaska.
To fully unburden ourselves %ve
must add that the United States air
force headquarters might have ascer
tained with very slight inquiry the fact
that starting the flight in April was
sure to delay the flyers and probably
lose the race on accound of the cer
tainty of their being compelled to fly
in the teeth of strong head winds dur
ing that month, to a greater degree
than any other month in the year.
