CHAPTER ONE

The plane struck the surface OF
the sea with sound like the slap
of a giant hand on the water. A
great splash of water instantly
covered the glass in front of me,
momentarily shutting out my
vision. Two sharp bumps. and the
plane settled quietly back on the
long, SLOW swells. / had made a
good landing.
As / rose from my seat in quick
concern for Gene, Tony, the raft,
and a multitude of things that
competed for my attention in this
crowded moment, 1 was conscious
that the plane was bobbing gently
up and down, but that at any Sec
ond a wave might pull a wing, and
we'd be gone. The sea that had
looked so flat and solid from the
air was now "A reaching. greedy
thing that shook its prey before

Boy, Pony
Sought Here
ST. Clair Shores Lad
May Be Arizona-Bound

A statewide quest was begun
Saturday for a black and white
Indian pony-possibly ridden by a
boy with Arizona in his plans
both of whom have been missing
since Friday morning.
The search centers around the
vicinity of East Detroit where the
l6-year-old st. Clair Shores lad
rented the horse from Finley's rid
ing stable instead of going to
school.
Mrs. Merle Finley, wife of the
owner of the stable at Nine-Mile
and Kelly roads. said the boys
school chums, with whom she has
talked, said he had been talking
lately Of going to Arizona.
Bernard Hoffman of 1875 Taylor
avenue reported seeing a "lanky
boy" astride an aging black and
white pony at 3 p. m. Saturday at
Fourteenth street and Grand bou-
levard.

ing, in my life jacket, kicking the
water.
The sinking of that plane was
like a magician's trick. 1t was
there, and then it was gone. and
there was nothing left in our big,
wet. darkening world but the three
of us and a piece of rubber that
was not yet raft.
OF course the plane took with II
everything the two boys in their
we'll disciplined haste had pulled
together from emergency stores
and equipment. 1 was soon to dis
cover that what fight we were 10
make for our lives must depend
upon the Junk" in our pockets,
tools attached to the raft, which
were so negligible in value as to
be almost frivolous, and the uses
we could make of the clothes upon
our backs.
All these things were to stand
us well until they were wrested
from our grasp. one by one, by the
great unseeable enemy we fought
and then our only weapon was the
mind, until this too began TO go in
the particular corroSion to which
it is susceptible.
Finally ! got the raft blown up.

Before they lost their clothes they were
able 10 catch drinking water by soaking their
rags when II rained, and wringing them into
an oar pocket. They pulled their food from
the air and the sea- very little food, that
was; not enough, az Dixon said, to make them
one good meal
1t was no wonder then, that they were
given up for dead. But Dixon sailed that raft,
made IL 20 where he wanted IL TO go, and
brought his men through.
When 1 saw them for the first time at
Pearl Harbor, they looked like any three men
Of our navy such rs might meet on Waikiki
Beach, or looking for an afternoons amuse-
ment on Hotel street. That was the wonder
of the story to me: they were just three men
who happened to have been assigned to take
mp a scout bomber from a carrier prowling
the far South Pacific.
When they got into that plane they barely
knew each other by sight. They could have
been any chief petty officer, any two sailors
of their ratings. But they were men like these.
Dixon, the spokesman for the trio, came to
my home at Waikiki for a weekend, and we
talked the best part of n night and day.

told IL TO me. ROBERT TRUMBULL.

CAPTAIN BLIGH would have faneied Dixon.
The famous Englishman, with his II men
from the mutinied Bounty, accomplished
classic of the sea that men will never weary
of telling.
But for his 48-day voyage from Tofua In
the South Pacific, 20 Timor, Netherlands East
Indies, n distance of S,6I8 miles, he had
23-foot boat. Dixon, PastuIa. and Aldrich, TO
cover a thousand miles In 81 days, had an
inflated rubber raft eight feet by four feet
overall.
Captain Bligh had SO pounds OF pork, $50
pounds of bread, % gallons OF water. 8 quarts
OF rum, g bottles Of wine. quadrant, COM
pass and canvas. Dixon and his two compan-
ions had pocket knife, a pair Of pliers. an
automatic pistol that soon became useless
from corrosion, and length of line. They had
no food. no water, no instruments, no means
of controlling their tiny fabric boat.
Dixon devised series of ingenious
makeshifts that enabled him TO control his
craft and chart his course. But the raft tipped
over so easily In the heavy Pacific swelIs that
I'm the end ne and his two young sailors had
nothng-not even shred of clothing to pro-
tect them from the equatorial sun.
