Climbing above the mist he saw the
peak of what he took to be Mount
Diablo, near San Francisco. He Circled
to the right, and after climbing and
finding the mountain still above him, he
came to the conclusion it was Mount
Whitney, which would put him far off
his course. After descending through
the fog several times without finding
any familiar Landmark, he found his
fuel tank going dry, and was forced
to land in the waste of. long dry
lake bed. His altimeter recorded an
altitude of 5000 feet. His hands soon
became numb.
Fire Used as Guide.
He drained the few remaining drops
of gasoline from the tank, filled his
pocket lighter, gathered up a few sticks
of dry. twisted wood and kindled a
fire. BY this time it was dark. He used
the fire as guide and walked six miles
to a hilltop, from which he could see
nothing but wilderness.
Returning to the plane, he put or

including three pairs of socks, an extra
pair of trousers. flying suit, topcoat and
blouse. He dared not sleep for fear of
