PEERLESS AIRMEN
Again an Alaskan air pilot has added to traditions
which cause the Alaskan air service to stand out as in
ferior to none in the nation, and in many respects with
out a peer in point of excellence of service and quality
of pilots. ,
It falls to the lot of Joe Crosson, veteran of the ser
vice, and one of the best pilots in the nation, to carry on
the traditions built up by the Pacific Alaska Airways, Inc.
No one but Crosson and his passengers, Mrs. Oliver
Morris and two small children could tell the story of the
valiant battle Crosson waged and won over the bndi
cott range of mountains, while bringing Mrs. Morris
from the shores of the Arctic Ocean at Point Barrow
to an Alaskan Railroad train, that the apprehensive
mother might speed her baby to less rigorous climes to
save its life.
According to Mrs. Morris, Crosson flew practically
blind, save for his compass, in battling mist, and clouds,
darting and dodging the barrier threatening to force
him down w’ithin the Arctic, edging aw^ay to the east and
recovering his route to finally descend at Beavei wdth his
precious cargo, refuel, take a short rest aftei long hours
at the controls, and overtake a train at Nenana.
Here the radio service, nowT a feature of the Pacific
Alaska Airways, Inc., proved its w^orth in keeping the
airports apprised of Crosson’s whereabouts, and to give
instant call if anything untoward overtook his plane.
Thus Alaskan air travel has come to be the safest
in the nation because of the excellence of its organiza
tion, its licensed Department of Commerce machine
shops, hangars, expert technicians and unsurpassed
pilots who carry on from the Arctic ocean, winter and
summer, to the shores of the North Pacific and the many
safeguards at the disposal of passengers.
The Frisco Red Cross got its wires scrambled In
stead of the Legislature being “shaken,” it was “awak
ened.” And finally passed the beer bfll. _

PILOT JDE CS0SS1 •
HIDE GREAT FLIGHT,
FIGHT, SICK RABIES j
Consuming two years in making
a round trip visit to her husband,
who owns a trading post 150 miles
east of Point Barrow, Mrs. Oliver
D. Morris sailed south on the SS
Alaska, accompanied by her two
small children.
Since her arrival in Alaska Mrs.
Morris has met adventure after
adventure. She was aboard the ill
fated Baichymo when it was cap
tured in the ice off Point Barrow,
and was compelled to cross the
ice field to reach Point Barrow.
Later she made her way to her
| husband’s trading post, where she
spent a year or more without
! companionship of a white woman
! or man save her husband.
Recently her baby became ill,
necessitating hospitalization. All
the natives were away with their
dog teams and, Mr. Morris was
also absent with his team. Finally
a team arrived and the mother
and child were taken to Point Bar
row, where careful medical treat
ment and nursing restored the
baby. Then came a relapse, a mes
sage was dispatched to the head
quarters of the Pacific Alaska Air
ways and Pilot Joe Crosson was
dispatched to fly to Point Barrow.
Owing to heavy fogs and the usual
eary spring weather, Crosson lit
erally had to fight his way north
in the teeth of storms. Armed with
radio, he was able to keep in touch
with Point Barrow and finally
landed on the ice ofshore, later
skiing to the settlement.
On the return trip, Crosson was
compelled to fly almost constantly
in a blanket of fog, causing him
to get off his course 50 miles to
the east crossing the Endicott
range, stretching the time of trav
el from six to eight hours.
It was well that the detour was
eastward, for Crosson picked up
Beaver, landed and replenished
his fuel, giving his passengers a
rest and then overtaking the train
which had left Fairbanks and
reached Nenana. There Mrs. Mor
ris and children were placed on
board and made the boat connec
tion.
‘Two years in making a round-;
trip visit and the anxiety for the
babies was a severe trial,” said
Mrs. Morris speaking of her ex
perience. The airplane is a bless
ing. Had Crosson not been availa
ble I am afraid I would have lost
my baby.”
Mr. and Mrs. John Hershey of
Hope are enroufce to Seward on the
SS Yukon to prepare for the year’s
mine operations.

NEW YORK, May 1 —Cash
amounting to $213,500 was found
in a safety deposit box rented by
Max Russell, slain, Reading, Penn.,
beer baron, when the box was
opened by a court order.
According to information brot
by the SS Otsego the local rumor
that Ausgustin Island, at the head
of Cook Inlet, had disappeared be
neath the waves, was just another
batch of “hooey” and that there
was no truth whatsoever to the re
port.
