NlERRY Christmas, Dave" she answered.
He flew to the bend, where a miner named
Jackson - long since dead - had built a
stout cabin. Every bush pilot knew that,
due to some trick of the wind there were
clear moments there, when elsewhere there
was neither visibility nor ceiling.
1t was ten air miles from Cold Deck, but
Dave chalked up another hours flying time
before he could land He crawled stiffly
from the plane, put toggles in the ice,
lashed the plane securely and reported to
Cold Deck.
All over Alaska communicators breathed
easier once more. On Surf Island, Joe fin
ished his lettuce and found the taste good.
The interior of the cabin was cold; but
the shelves were stocked with canned goods,
and there was kindling in the stove. Dave
eyed the canned goods sourly. I'm back in
the rut again, he thought. A can opener, a
fire and presto - Christmas dinner.
While the cabin was warming, he carried
his sleeping bag from the plane and spread
it on bunk. He didn't sleep Immediately,
because the strain of many hours fying
was on him.
He was sleeping heavily. however, when
voice, seemingly miles away, penetrated
his exhausted senses: Open up, Dave!
