To-day the CheliuskiniteS are

applause and cheers were many

year-old Doronin entered the Red
Marine fleet as volunteer, joined
rapid-advance courses under able
technicians. After years of instruc-

transferred to military marine

love for avia ion both in his courses
and at college, and finally entered
an aviation school as a student.

three years as an airman on various

This is the third Of a series of
articles on the rescue by Soviet

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By Cable
How did the rescued Cheliuskin-
ers, saved after their gruelling
forced encampment in the Far
North, feel after they had been re-
moved from the ice floe?
This question is answered in a
radio message sent to Moscow by
a correspondent of 'Izvestia," cen
trail organ of the Soviet Govern
ment-a correspondent who partici-
pated in Professor Otto Schmidt
expedition. After being brought
ashore in one of the last groups
rescued, this correspondent, named
Boris Gromov cabled from Van

crevices covered by snow, without
fearing that ice will slide from I'M

"Bobrov, Voronin and Krenkel
the last to come ashore, were met
with loud cheers. The Cheliuskin-
ties surrounded the airnen Molo-
kov, Kamsnin and Vodopianov, who
had just made their last flights to
and from the camp, and tossed
them up in the air in joy.
One cannot help remarking on
the brilliant work of the Soviet
planes. 1t is wonderful how our
small two-seater mail planes "R-5'

Accidents occurred on their take
