Frog Hunters Who Saved Plane Victims Know Their Everglades
Hardy Checkers Guided by Stors
 In Quest of Prey
BY 6. W. MATTHEWS NEA Special Correspondent

Vero Beach, Fla. - When that plane crashed in the Everglades west of Vero Beach, frog hunters brought the l6 passengers and crew members back to civilization.
 1T just told 'em not to drag their feet in the water" says A, J. lille Hard. "If you stand real still, allie gators won't bother you. You just better not move, though"
 Hilliard and the brothers, Willard and Minor Yates, find their way through the trackless 'glades chief ly by the stars, but they've been out there 50 much they kinda know where they're going.
 A frogger, who earns from $b to Si0 nightly, poles e boat through swamps where one little island looks just like 6 dozen others.
 He spots frogs in the beam of a searchlight worn on the head gigs them from Q distance of 10 to i6 feet.
 The frog hunter huddles in an ie-inch wide boat beneath Q tarpau- lin when 1t rains. He goes cold wet and hungry. His eyes must stand the strain night after night. When fog settles down 50 he can't see 10 feet ahead of him, he feels his way to camp three or four miles away with nothing to guide him except some sixth sense.
 1n the winter, frog hunters trap otter and coon. Otter brings 4i0 Q skin, coon Si,26.
 Froggers hunt nlllgators in areas where they are not protected by law. Their best night has been Si00 worth of alligator hides.
 THROUGH SWAMP GROWTH AT 90 MILES AN HOUR
 Their big boat is an ie-foot skif with an airplano propejlor mounted on an automobile motor. The pro. pelior pushes the boat through Sawgrass and water lilies ct 90 miles aa hour. The gkiR whi22cS over weeds and growth that would choke an ordinary marine propeller. Ten. foot canoes, i8 inches wide, usually are used for actual frog hunting. Only ore man goes In the canoe.
 But the noise of the big boats propeller whirling on its shaft six feet above water doesn't frighten frogs. Willard Yates operate the motor while Minor balances in the bow, his iS-foot gig Co polo with sharp spears attaehed) ready for action, his head lamp operating of the motor battery.
