who had previously frosted her
lungs while on a 100 mile dog
team trek to Haycock to visit her
brother, Reeve left for Nome about
100 miles or an hour away. There
the children were examined and
pronounced in no danger, while
a few days later Mrs. Mazen un
derwent an operation which prob
ably saved her life.
Reeve says that he circled Gol
ovan for the purpose of looking
over possible landing places; it was
from that point that word was
flashed to Nome that the Reeve
party was safe, the inhabitants
recognizing the plane.
"At no time was I lost nor should
I have a similar eexperience, would
I do any different than on that
flight,” Pilot Reeve informed The
Gateway.
THE RETURN FLIGHT
After being stormbound in Nome
for seven days, Reeve took off for
Shagtulik where he had made ar
rangements to return and pick up
Frank Beeson, critically ill with
dropsy and heart trouble. Mr.
Beeson wanted Bob to take him to
Dr. A. D. Haverstock, at the Sew
ard General Hospital. Despite ad
verse weather conditions he took
off, taking the mail with him for
Golovin where he set down on ac
count of poor flying conditions ^
ahead. The next morning he head-1
ed for Shaetulig to pick up Mr.
Beeson. He landed on a small lake,
about two miles from town, on
glare ice. There, Reeve says he al
most became a member of The
Sadder But Wiser Club when his
ship ground-looped several times
but fortunately finally ceased its
girations and came to a stop with
out damage.

with a dogteam. He delivered
freight and mail, then took off
for Kaltag, 80 miles away. The
weather was good but upon ar
riving at Kaltag he discovered the
Yukon covered with a dense fog,
so he proceeded on to McGrath.
This was 150 miles further on and
East of the Kuskokwim; there the
two remained overnight.
Meanwhile, Reeve was giving
Mr. Beeson every possible care and
attention and the oldtimer, while
in intense pain, was holding up
splendidly.
Sunday morning, altho adverse
weather reports came from An
chorage, Reeve decided to make a
try for Anchorage. He negotiated
Rainy Pass at an altitude of 8,000
with no difficulty but when 10
miles from Anchorage ran into a
ground fog which covered the en
tire Cook Inlet district. It was im
possible to penetrate, so he re
traced his course 40 miles to Su
sitna where an emergency landing
was made.
COURTEOUS TREATMENT
The bounteous hospitality of
Rowland Healy, postmaster, will
never be forgotten, Bob says. The
next morning he picked up the
mail and left for Anchorage where
.he dropped the mail, phoned to
Seward for a weather report, then
into the air again on the last
stretch of a long flight to the home
base, a welcome haven indeed.
Here. Dr. Haverstock was on
hand to meet Mr. Beeson who was
immediately taken to the hospital
where, as Reeve says; “he was put
into dry-dock and after a few
weeks, should be able to proceed
to Los Angeles, where his family
resides.’’
Pilot Reeve particularly request
ed The Gateway to extend his and
his passengers’ appreciation for the
cooperation and courtesies extend
ed by Lieutenant Corputt, Signal
Corps, KFQD broadcast station,
The Pacific Alaska Airways, free
lance pilots and all others.

I’d never thought much about what’s inside a
Chesterfield cigarette. But I have just been reading
something that made me think about it.
Just think of this, some of the tobacco in Chest
erfield—the Turkish—comes from 4000 miles away!
And before it is shipped every single leaf is packed
by hand. All because Turkish tobacco is so small
and delicate.
Of course I don’t know much about making
cigarettes, but I do know this—that Chesterfields are
milder and have a very pleasing aroma and taste.
They satisfy—and that’s what counts with me!
