DROP FOOD. SUPPLIES

—
Pilot Ray Howard and Mechanic
Burras Smith of the plane North
bird, Pioneer Airways, J. V. Hick
ey Ketchikan agent, completed a
novel stunt recently in dropping
food and supplies to Wendell Daw
son and William Fromholz in spe
cially designed bags in the upper
reaches of the Le Due River region,
in the Ketchikan district.
All details were figured out in
advance by Dawson, Howard and
Smith. At first it was thought
that parachutes would best serve
the purpose, but since each bag
of food weighed about 150 pounds
and were to be released from the
top Of the pontoons, this was ruled
out as too cumbersome and un
wieldly.
Finally it was decided that the
best method would be to make a
bag about 8 feet long and a point
ed end, and an inner bag con
taining the food with ground cork
all around the inner bag to take
up the shock. This required a lot
of work and each detail was care
fully carried out.
The release was a device con
sisting of a knife operated from
the cabin, cutting the binding
straps simultaneously, and releas
ing both bags the same moment.
The plan worked perfectly, says
j the Ketchikan Chronicle.
The plane took off from Ketchi
kan. It soared to 5,00 feet to
cross the mountains and then de
scended within 200 feet of the
ground at the time of the release.
The weather was perfect for vis
ibility. The aviators saw the
smoke signal which Dawson and
Fromholz had made, these two
men went in overland and were
on the scene at the time. It was
arranged in advance that should
the men be in distress or need as
sistance they would light three
signal fires, otherwise one hignal
fire was the sign to drop the sup
plies as prearranged.

was about three miles from where
it was first agreed the food would
be dropped, across the river and
up on a hillside. The instruc
tions given the aviators were to
drop the food as near the fire as j
possible. When the plane circled j
over the place neither man was |
in sight, but the aviators knew that j
at least one of the prospectors j
was at the signal fire because of j
the rapid increase of the smoke \
from the signal fire. At the right;
moment Pilot Howard told Me-1
chanic Smith to “let ’er go” and j
| the release was pulled. Both big j
j bags sailed to the ground togeth- j
er within 150 feet of the fire. The j
: last seen of the bags was about1
150 feet fro mthe plane heading a-1 j
| most horizontally for the earth as j
| though in a hurry to get there. |
