they found themselves scudding along
close to a dense woods, from which
they knew they probably would never
emerge alive, and it was only by sacri-
ficing everything except what they
absolutely needed in the. way of gar

Shortly afterward they saw what

probably would have fallen into the

Their balloon was tangled in a tree

diately heard the barking of a dog.
They believed this came from the
direction of the "hut', they had dis

Was Ten Below Zero.
At the time of the landing the mer-
curry was only ten degrees below zero,
the mildest weather for this season of
the year in the history of the trading
post. When the men extricated them
selves from the wreckage, the first
words were uttered by Lieut. Walter
Hinton, a veteran of the historic
transatlantic flight in the N. CA,
who extended gracious thanks to the
Almighty for their existence.
The next thought Of the airmen was
to express thanks to the unfortunate
dog whose howls caused them to des-
cend. For almost forty hours the
Americans had Knocked death in a
raging storm high in the air and for
the time being they were too ex-
hausted to do anything but congrat-
ulate themselves on their, safe land
ing.
The airmen had been drenched to
the skin and icicles hung over their
torn clothing. For four days they
wandered aimlessly in the wildern ess
and were at the point of despair when
they were discovered by a frightened
Indian trapper. George Mcleod. the
Indian mail carrier, who brought the
news of the mems landing to the out
side world said their first desire was
to notify their wives and relatives Of
their safety.
George McClelland, who has been
hitting the trail between Moose Fac
tory and Mattice for IT years, said to-
day that had the balloon drifted ten
miles further north they would not
have lived to tell the story. More
than one hardy trapper has met his
fate in that desolate region rarely
trOd by human beings.
