 7OO-fOOt Lake
Art Burtt Walks Out 40 Miles when Duck Pond
 Landing Is Made

Art Burtt, Carcross flier for Nor thern Airways, was in Juneau to- day laughing over one of those rare north country flying experiences that look so much better in retro spect than at the time of occur renee
 Burtt flew into Juneau last night with George Simmons. of Northern Airways, and two passengers, John Rodoman and William Swanson Today Burtt was walking Juneau streets and remarking it feels good to walk on pavement" And the story came out.
 Last week Burtt was flying the big Northern Airways Fokker into the Lake Francis country near the Jennings River at the south end of Lake Teslin Off his course over heavy fog. Burtt was running low on gas and came down to look for a landing spot He was forced to "sit down" on a lake only seven hum dred feet long.
 Three days Burtt waited for relief plane and more gas. On the fourth day he started walking forty miles to Teslin. He pounded gravel bars hour after hour and bunked down at night without blankets or food. He saw nineteen bear" and "all kinds of moose"
 On the sixth day, pilots George Simmons and Bud Cook located Burtt, picked him up and flew back to the lake near the stranded Fox ker Gassed up again, Burtt looked at the tree-fenced shoreline of the "duck pond" and said nix, I won't bust good ship up. You can't fly it out of here.'
 Bud Cook got in, circled for speed, pulled up, cleared the trees and a feat had been accomplished that would be headline news Out side, but is just fine example of the North's pilots.
 Seven hundred feet is small enough a spot to land in. It is smaller when it has to be big enough for a plane as big as Fokker to take off from,

old Arundel Society for prosecuting felons, thieves, miscreants and other criminals held their annual meet ing recently. The secretary got up and announced that no criminals had been caught, no rewards paid as usual.
 It's been like that for the past 266 years but even though they all know in advance what the report will be they still like to hang to- gether.
 The society, Britain's only pri- vate police force, was not always so dormant. When it was organized in the 18th century it got many a real workout from the highwaymen and cattle rustlers who overran the country.
