How rifles dropped from the sky
saved a group Of American explorers
seeking oil deposits in a last-ditch
battle with wild Indians was related
here yesterday by flyers just back
from Ecuador.
About two weeks ago a force of
Aushiris Indians, in full war paint
and regalia. crept through the jun
giles and fell on an encampment of
four whites and 200 native laborers
east of the Andes, near the junction
of the Anapo and Arajuno Rivers.
Three workmen were killed and
one wounded with spears and bows
and arrows in the late afternoon at
tack.
The white men in charge of the
group did not believe the raid would
be repeated. They posted sentinels,
however, and early next morning
the Indians returned through the
dark jungle.
Plane Ordered to Rescue.
The attackers made three deter
mined raids and were fought off

ties.
At dawn the next day the camp
was completely surrounded. The ra-
dio station was in danger and the
leader of the explorers flashed a
plea to Quito for immediate help.
The overland journey from the
nearest source of aid would have re-
quired nine days by a mule pack
train.
Flyers of Pan American Grace
Airways. whose system recently re-
placed the German-controlled Sedta
Airlines, were notified. A United
States airmail plane which had
landed at Quito was ordered to the
rescue and loaded for a dangerous
flight over the jungle-covered
mountains.
Twenty rifles and a large supply
of ammunition were bundled into
heavy canvas, along with medicine,
food and other emergency supplies.

camp while the explorers on the
ground unwrapped the rifles and
ammunition. GunnerS were posted
about the camp, and when the de-
fense force was organized the white
men waved good-by to the flyers.
The airplane returned safely to

into a wild retreat.
