Pilot Martin of the Mirow Air

south of the village, pilot Martin
walked into St. Mchael and on
Tuesday sent word by radio to
the Nome office of his location
and reported the accident. Word
was not received until about 3
in the afternoon due to poor ra
dio conditions. Pilot Martin will
stay in St. Michael until Hans

vice arrives with ski repairs, one
ski shock-absorbing unit being
damaged while landing.
Pilot Mirow will arrive in St.

repairs for the skiis. After re
pairs are made Pilot Martin will
finish his mail run and will be in

from the engine, he was forced

munication was maintained be
tween the Nome station KAZE &

ato with the passengers.
