N. Y, to Keene, N. H., and had stopped
at Schenectady, N. Y. Taking off from
there, intense fog was encountered
within Is minutes, and the men became
lost, crashing about noon.
Mockler was thrown free, but was
unable to pull wreckage off his COM
panion's body and, after an hour
started down the mountainside. He
became lost, but following a small
stream, arrived at an outlying farm
house at pm. Searching parties were
Immediately formed and airplaneS were
notified to fly over the country.
The crash occurred on Woodford
Mountain. Mockler, although nearly
exhausted, returned with a searching
night He remembered a swamp and
waterfall near the scene of the crash
and the information led woodSmen to
the scene.
An ambulance had been sent to Dun
vile Notch, which is in the town OF
Woodford, and had entered the woods
The searchers started out with Colds
borough on an improvised stretcher. He
had to be carried about miles to the
ambulance.
He was brought to the Putnam Me-
from the point where the ambulance
met him. The searching party had no
medical men among its members.
Mrs. Bryce Goldsborough, the boys
stepmother arrived here late last night
from Albany.
Mockler was flying with Goldsborough
to Keene to keep lecture appointment
last night. GoldSborough had left
Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday morning.
At 9:l5 am, approximately two and
half hours after he was found, Colds
borough was in an ambulance en- route
to the hospital. The distance from the
scene of the crash is only about 4 miles,
but the roads are extremely difficult.
The six men in the party that found
the flyer used couple of suit coats
tied together as a stretcher. They car
ried their unconscious burden for nearly
2 miles before reaching the ambulance
Part of the journey was through thick
mud. knee deep, while at other points
rocks and boulders barred the path.
AS the youthful airman was borne
from his plane his eyes were closed His
teeth had been knocked out by the force
of the crash, and true to the instinct of
an experienced flyer he had reached
for his parachute cord. One finger en-
circled in tight grip the ring which
releases the chute.
Mockler described the crash and his
attempts to free Goldsborough to a res
cue party.
Fifteen minutes after taking off from
Schenectady, N. Y, after flying from
Buffalo," he said, I'VE ran into bad fog.
Soon we knew we were over the Green
Mountains, but not where Colds
borough put the ship into a dive to get
below the fog.
Suddenly a tree loomed ahead and
the first thing saw was Goldsborough
turning off the switch. When came
to saw the tail and part of a wing
of the plane hanging in the tree.
Parts of the wrecKage covered Colds
borough, over his head, chest and feet.
I pulled it off his head and chest, but
his feet were caught in the controls
and he was unconscious. I finally left
him to try to get to house to find
aid. tried to free him for an hour.
He was breathing regularly and his
pulse was regular, although still I'M
conscious. He was warmly dressed and
the weather wasn't cold.
