be solid ground turned out to be q
swamp and the plane slithered to a

the soft mud. The plane buried its
nose and threatened to bury the
crew under a surge of slime.
Others Extricated.
The others were pinned beneath
smashed instruments. but Sergt
Rowlen was able to crawl back and
cut his way through the fuselage
with an ak. Then he began chop

Only slightly injured, the crew
members stayed with the plane two
days, living on emergency rations
and rain water while spreading
parachutes and yellow liferafts over
the plane in the hope of attracting
rescue planes. But no searching
planes appeared.
The four stayed In that area seven
days, waiting for an injury to Man

fashioned "snowshoes'' with which
to walk over the ooze.

After a four-day trek under 30
pound packs, the group reached a
wide river where they spotted native
dugout canoes floating downstream.
Their shouts and waves attracted
attention, but the natives only
waved back and went on.
They remained at the edge of the
river four days while their rations
dropped to two squares of chocolate
daily. Finally they built crude
raft and padded to the center of
the stream, where the current car
ried them down to q native village.
Natives guided them to a Dutch
Army outpost, 80 miles away, from
which they were flown to the Amer
ican field.
