and Tomick held off the COW
otes with guns, Lewyn said.
Meanwhile they attempted the
trek across the desert several

plane and both agreed, as the
situation was becoming more
serious hourly, to attempt a
take off.
The plane got into the air sue
cessfully and Tomicll brought
it down near Yermo and the
