Thaw dashed out of the gate when it was opened to admit d milk wagon and climbed into a fast car that was waiting.

 Pilot Wasson and I left White horse December for the Pelly banks. On that day the clouds were covering the peaks of the moun- tains of the Pelly Range.
 While circling around to look for low spot to make a dash through the range, we caught sight of a puff of smoke and so made for 1t.
 Kick off Food
 We saw the camp and kicked off a box of food from the plane and thinking they might not get it kicked off another We wrote a note on the last box of food saying that we would be coming upstream to them.
 We landed the plane on a small lake about 10 miles from Kading's s and Martens camp.
 "The lake was more or less open so we had to spend the remainder of the day building up logs under the plane to keep it from freezing in.
 That night we started up- stream during snow storm.
 Seeing no sign of a fire, we camped for the night and the next morning, after picking up our land marks, figured we were 10 miles past their camp. We then returned toward the plane and when we thought we should be near them, fired off a shot which was answer ed, and we soon reached Kading and Marten.
 We carried an extra pair of snowshoes but that left one man of the party without any so I made a pair of skis for him out of
