STRANDED BABY.
MOTHER SAVED
NULATO, AIaska-Rescued from

NULATO, Alaska-Rescued from
stranded plane on the frozen
tundra of the Alaskan wasteland,
Mrs. Magdalene Jefford and her
15-month-old son today resumed
their flight to Fairbanks for Christ
mas at home.
They spent four days-the last
without food-huddled in the small
cabin plane buffeted by an Arctic
blizzard. The temperature was be-
low zero and they had only a
campers fire-pot to keep them
warm. Fuel for it was being rap
idly exhausted.
Pilot Fred Chambers. with Mrs.
Jefford, her baby and James Walsh,
set his plane down with broken
oil line Tuesday, midway on his
flight from Nome to Fairbanks.
He had been driven off his course
by the raging blizzard. and even
with his battery-operated radio, he
was unable to direct rescuers to
the plane.
II was located 35 miles west OF
here late Friday by Pilot Jack
Jefford, brother-in-law of Mrs. JEFF
ford. He dropped food, sleeping
sacks and fuel and returned TO
Nulato to direct dog sleds to the
plane, nestled in the wild and brok-
en- upper reaches Of the Nulsto
river.
