FL|ER TELLS Of
THRILLING
RESCUE
War Department Gets Word
From Major Martin Of
Globe Circiers.

The graphic story of how man
rode horseback eighteen miles ia
get to a radio station through a
binding snow-storm and snow.drifts
that at times covered horse and
rider, of how two United States
destroyers dashed 312 miles without
a stop was told for the first time
today when the War Department
received it's first telegram from
Major Frederick L. Martin, com.
mander of the round-the.world
fliers, who was rescued after fall.
ing into the sea off western Alaska.
Martin detailed how he used up
all Of his signal flares and pyrotech.
mic ammunition trying to pierce the
black Arctic night with distress
calls and almost was giving up in
despair as morning came and the
other filters had passed him far Ia
the east. At last his plight was
seen by a man on the shore a
Mr.. Edd, of Pearl Creek, Alaska,
near Kanatak, who made the daring
ride through the storm to tele.
graph station where Seattle was
notified and the destroyers dis.
patched to find Martin.
Martin has requested the Navy
Department to have Berring sea
patrol destroyers comb the sea when
the filters set off from the Aleutian
Islands, in order to preclude another
accident.
