Their return to the Edisto

Driver McCuistion. Lucky it

The plane radioed weak SOS
| signals which finally were picked
UP at the tent camp. The base
sent two-engined Neptune-one
of the four planes which made q
historic flight from New Zealand
Tuesday and had only one hours
gas left-to pick up the injured.
Plane Sends Message
The camp had a doctor but
facilities were largely limited to
first aid. Efforts were made to
get help from the flagship Arneb
but the camp radio failed.
A four-engined Skymaster-an-
other of the planes flown from
New Zealand, which also only
had one hour of gas left-was
sent up to try its radio at 10000
feet for better signal. Precious
time slipped by with the radio
operator unable to raise anyone.
Finally. with only 20 minutes of
gas left, he raised New Zealand
radio. The message was relayed
to the Arneb at sea.

the nearest icebreaker with X
ray facilities to proceed to Cape
