The only landing place near Ninilehik is a lake about seven miles back Cf the settlement and the landing was made there Iri about two feet of snow. Dr. Hayer- stock, Alaska Railrood surgeon, and Pilot Merrill mushed from the lake to the town, through deep snow, and re- turned to the plane yesterday with Miss Howe, the trip requiring the greater part of the day and involving great difficulty. When the plane was reached it was. dusk
 An operation was performed at the Government Hospital as soon as Miss Howe could be prepared for it, and the report from the hospital this afternoon is that she has q fighting chance for recovery. The bullet from the revolver, which was discharged while she was cleaning it, passed through her abdomen and emerged from the back.

MERRILL RISKS NIGHT FLIGHT
 TO SAVE LIFE OF TEACHER
Anchorage Times.l

Braving the peril of night flight from Ninilchik, with the temperature more than 20 degrees below zero and with mind filled with uncertainty re- garding his ability to make a landing on the unlighted Anchorage field. Pilot R.. H.. Merrill unhesitatingly took off from the lower inlet after darkness had set in last. night and headed the cabin ship of the Anchor age Air Transport for for Anchorage base. The long. chance was takerr because the fife of Miss Joan B ess Howe, government teacher at Ninil- ehik, who had accidentally shot her. self in the abdomen, was hanging in the balance. If she could be brought to the Anchorage hospital immediate ly. there was the hope that her life could be saved; if she remained there, she might not. live through the night. So Pilot Merrill readily assented. to attempt the flight, and after the young woman had been made as com fortable as possible in the cabin of the plane he and Dr. A. D. Haver- stock, who made the flight to Ninil- cnik in the plane, climbed aboard the ship and set out, fully aware of the hazards of the trip but willing to take thelr chance with the patient.
 In antlclpation of the return of the plane last evening, flares had been prepared at the aviation field, and when Pilot Merrill circled low over the city to get his bearings, a number of automobiles were driven hastily to the field and with the aid of their lamps and flares the plane was brought safely down, but not without. careful, and skilful maneuvering. About an hour was required to make the flight from Ninilchik to- Anchor age.
 Pilot Merrill left Anchorage on Thursday in response. to an $. O. s.
