Downed Pilot OK
After 12 Days on
Small Ice Floe
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, —A
60-year-old Toronto pilot greeted
rescue last night sitting in a chair
perched on a tiny ice floe which
had been his home for 12 days
while it drifted through northern
Hudson Bay near the ArcticCircle.
Carl C. Crossley, veteran bush
pilot, then picked up his suitcase,
climbed into a canoe and helped
Cpl. A1 Savage of Kamloops, B.C.,
paddle nearly two miles to a wait
ing plane which had landed on an
ice sshelf.
The downed airman disappeared
May 19 while flying a pontoon
equipped Norseman from a secret
DEW Line base to Churchill, Man.,
610 miles north of Winnipeg. He
was found Tuesday on an ice pack
about 10 feet wide off the north
ern end of Southampton Island,
1,075 miles north of here.
Crossley was reported in excel
lent condition and good spirits
but tired.
A radio message received here
said Cpl. Savage found Crossdey
sitting in a padded aircraft seat,
protected from the wind by a tar
paulin. The gear was taken from
the Norseman a couple of days
after the Toronto airman made his
femergency landing on the ice.
The plane was later blown away
by high winds and it sank.

forth will be 10:50 a.m. and de
parture time will be 12:20 p.m.

LARRY AMAROK ft NOW
STATIONED ON OKINAWA
Pfc. Larry Amarok, who left
Nome something over a year ago
to enlist in the Marine Corps, is
now stationed on Okinawa. His
mother, Mrs. Alice Amarok, has
received a letter from him telling
of his new assignment.
Larry says it was certainly a
relief to land at Okinawa after a
rather stormy 16-day Pacific
crossing. He also said that Okin
awa has an average of 200 days
of rain a year.
Larry will be eligible for rota
tion home in fourteen months.

1,000,000 Gallons
Jet Plane Fuel
Fire Hazard in Y.T.
WHITEHORSE, Y.T., UP>—Near
ly 1,000,000 gallons of jet plane
fuel was pui ped onto the ground
along the Haines - to - Fairbanks
pipeline during the winter, caus
ing concern among forestry and
game officials and private citizens,
says the weekly Whitehorse Star.
The paper says the fuel, chiefly
kerosene with a small percentage
of anti-corrosive in it, was allowed
to drain off into creeks, sloughs,
ponds and forests, creating high
fire hazards and, in some places,
the story says, the fuel-soaked
ground became “as inflammable
as a giant wick.”
The paper says sportsmen were
“more than irritated” when they
found the spring runoff was car
rying thousands of gallons of fuel
into creeks and lakes. Game offi
cials reported finding a number of
dead and dying ducks that landed
in oily sloughs and streams.
Fuel oil seeped into Swede
Johnson Creek, one of the best
fishing spots on the Alaska High
way, but damage to the fish has
not been determined.
Pipeline and U.S. Army author
ities tried disposing of the fuel
during the winter by burning it
on the spot, but the fires burned
so long the plan was abandoned.
The most recent scheme devised
to dispose of the fuel, says the
Star, is a plan of pumping out the
areas concerned into tank trucks
to be hauled away and burned in
a gravel pit.
The pipeline now is in operation
and is carrying fuel from Haines
to Fairbanks.
