cult court here and chairman Of
the local Red Cross chapter. to-
day was preparing to fly to Tan.
gier and Smith islands, make a
survey of conditions, and report
back to Washington the needs Of
the ice-bound residents for food
and medicines.
He is also attempting to find
some method of returning to
their homes more than so fisher.
men who have been marooned
here for more than two weeks
and are anxious to return to
their homes.
Mr.. TaweS will confer with
pilots regarding the possibility of
sending the men home by air
plane. Three of the fishermen
reached the island yesterday
after a perilous walk across the
ice. They pushed q light skiff
with them. using that when they
came to stretches of open water.
The Washington times., 1936-02-03

think, until . thaw sets In and
we can get through the chan
mel to the mainland. We can
keep warm enough. But we
can't live without food.
"The flour ran out three or
four days ago, and the meat
supply is mighty low. We have
been fishing through the ice,
but haven't had much luck
that way. We win certainly ap-
preciate it If you can get US
some help. We don't like to
cry for help this way, but the
winter has been the most Sc
we're in many years, and We
just ran low on supplies"
One Of the fishermen eagerly
eyes the cigarette we light, and a
proffered pack is quickly emptied
by the crowd. Yes, the tobacco
supply is about gone. They &C.
cept all of our meager supply.
Captain johnson tells US that
Mayor william Crockett isn't on
the island. He had gone ashore
before the "big freeze" started.
and he has been unable to get
back home to his family and his
town.
A shy youngster skates up and
looks with eager eyes at the big
blimp. He has never seen such a
thing before, he says. In fact,
he has only been away from the
island once or twice in his life,
and that was only to go to Girls
field. But there he did see a mo-
tion picture. No, he'd never seen
one before. There is a little
theater on the island, but some
thing is wrong with the ap-
paratus, and so they don't have
shows. He asks:
"Are you really going to bring
us something to eat? We
haven't very much now"
There is something about that
simple appeal that makes a lump
come in your throat. No COM
plant about the bitter cold+ the
hard winter. Just childish faith.
Commander Lange speaks up,
speaks for all Of us:
eyes sonny, we're going to
try our hardest to see that you
get something to eat. And In
a hurry too"
1t is zero weather. but the sun
has broken through the fog by
now and is shining on the great
silver bag. The gas is beginning
to become buoyant, and the ship
is straining at the guide ropes.
Commander Lange looks above,
and decides that we must get
under way.
We make up q list of what Is
mostly needed, then climb back in
the cabin. The crowd steps back.
