DARING MEN, INVOLVED
In the isolated native village of
Ninichik, west of Seward, a ^thrilling
battle for life and -rescue reached
a climax late yesterday afternoon in |
Anchorage, when Pilot Russell Mer
rill,, of the Anchorage Air Transport
company, made a sensational land
ing on the home field in darkness,
bringing Miss Bes-sie Howe, school
teacher,-for treatment at the govern
ment hospital.
The race with grim "death” began
When it was learned from Seldovia
that Miss Howe had accidently shot
herself in the abdoman while
in the act of cleaning her gun, and
radio operator Lipke, at Seldovia,
wirelessed that due to the terrible
gale at sea no boat would venture
from port. Feint amateur signals
were caught by Mr. Lipke which he
was able to decode as distress sig
nals with a bare outline of the acci
dent.
With Dr. A. D. Haverstock, of the
government hospital, Pilot Merrill
took off from the Anchorage field
and, flying against strong head winds
over Cook Inlet, he arrived and land
ed safely on a small lake, about one
half a mile in lenght', and approxi
mately six miles from the village.
Through the heroic eforts of Dr.
Haverstock he finally, with the aid
of a dog team, succeeded in moving
the wounded girl, in terrible agony,
to the plane.
The delay in getting the girl to the
plane and loss of time bucking the
wind, caused loss of time and upon
their arrival over Anchorage dark
ness greeted them. However, three
flares 'had been lit on one side of the
field and on the other side the head
lights of an automobile served as
field markers and Pilot Merrill brot
his ship to land perfectly.
Reports received frpm Anchorage
last night were to the effect the ef
forts of Dr. Haverstock and Pilot
Merrill may have proved in vain for
the wounded girl was in an extreme
ly critical conditions, blood poisoning
having set in.
Miss Howe is known to a few lo- !
I cal citizens having arrived in Sew'
ard from Witchita, Kas., on September
2, enroute Westward to teach in the
government school at Ninilchik.
