FIRST MONOPLANE
ARRIVES FT. NORMAN
AT EXPRESS SPEED
(From Dawson Ne
Fort Norman. N. W. T.—Thirteen
hours and forty minutes is fhe ac
tual flying time between Peace River
and Norman, a distance of approxi
• nately 1,400 miles by river and
lake. This is the time logged off by
the Imperial Oil Company's mono
plane on its recent flight into the oil
True, the machine “crashed" on
making the landing at Fort. Norman,
and one of its pontoons and a wingj
shattered, but this does not render
the long-distance flight of the crew j
any less spectacular
The factors of travel by air over j
practically unexplored country, the
dangers involved in making landings
on rivers, and unknown currents:
and the fascination of watching miles
upon miles of untenanted sub-Arctic
lands unroll before them like a map
were described today by Geologist
T. A. Rink of the company and
Surveyor W. II Waddell, who made
the trip in by plane. R. G. Fuller
ton. a well known pilot was driving
and Mechanician W. J. Mill, of the
living crew, was the fourth member
of the party.
One notable feat of the journey
was the making ot a forced landing
between the Far North forts of
Simpson and Wrigley. on the sur
face of the Mackenzie river, without
assistance from anyone on shore. In
fact, no one was around to help, but
when the pilot and crew departed
from this point they were helped by
an Indian who had been attracted
by the descent of the great bird.
One wonders at the kind of thought
In the aborigine's head when the big
airship went hurtling down the river
and aloft into the air again from
that lonesome and desolate neigh
borhood .
Residents of the post at Fort Xor
man Rave a graphic description <rf !
the landing and accident of the big !
monoplane on June 2. A crowd was
on the bank when the machine was •
sighted in the sky. A few minutes
after 5 p. nt. as the monoplane
came gliding down it seemed that
the machine would alight safely go- i
ing down stream, but when a few 1
feet above the water the ship seemed ;
to drop suddenly to the surface. 1
Instantly it bounded up again and ;
leaped forward some sixty feet, but ■
in that momentary touch of the irver '
surface the right pontoon was shear
ed off completely. The moment the
machine struck again it listed to the,
side on which the pontoon had struck
off. the wing tipped into the water]
and began to till. As it filled it:
eank. the machine being gradually j
dragged down the river, all the time 1
tilting more and more.
"Get a boat. get. a boat." shouted
the men in the machine, and boats
ami canoes hurriedly put to their
rescue, but they would have been too
late had it not been for the fact :
that the down-tilted wing, some
twenty feet iti length, finally touched i
bottom in a shallow part of the river j
and dragged along, preventing the |
machine from turning completely!
over in the water.
Mr. Link said the accident was
due to the extremely smooth andj
Imirror-like surface of the water
when they landed, making it impos
sible to calculate accurately the
height of the machine above the
river. But the crew had achieved
their purpose of getting Mr. Link
and Mr. Waddell into the field first
this year. Those two gentlemen at
once proceeded into the bush with a
parly of men and worked thirty-two
hours on end. staking claims.
During the flight the plane made
two portages, that is. crossed oveif
land for considerable distances,
which means taking a chance as. in
case of a forced landing, the ma
chine being equipped for landing
only on water, would have been
decededly “out of luck . ” They cut
off from the Peace River below Peace
point, over to the Slave river, a dis
tance of about twenty miles, and
jthey also cut off from the Slave
river to Slave lake, another twenty
miles overland, coming out on Great
Slave lake at the Little Buffalo river.
In crossing Great Slave lake the
pilot came down and flew above the
surface of the water at a height of
only about 100 feet to avoid a heavy j
head wind. During this part of the
flight the machine passed over the
canoes of the Fugi-Handley party
making their way to the oil fields.
Later, after entering the Mackenzie
river, they passed over the canoes
of the George-Johnston party, who
led all the river vovageurs of 1921
into the oil fields. In neither in
stance. however, did the flying men
see the canoe parties below, having
their gaze fixed on the horizon rather
than beneath them.
ACTIVITY AT PEACE RIVER
H. M. Parry, who is making a
tour of inspection of the oil country
of the Peace River district, writes
the Seattle Dispatch that boats of any
sort are veritable gold mines becauv"
of the heavy demand for transporta
tion by oil seekers. The blue laws or
even law enforcement does not bother
the town of Peace river, as beer Js
sold openly and drug store ami boot
leg whiskey is $#.60 the imperial
quart. Stud poker and blackjack
run openly and the sky is the limit.
At McLennon. 50 miles south of
Peace river poker runs night and
day. At this town is old Tom Chis
holm. past SO and dead broke, of
i Seattle am? Dawson fame. In the
days of '98 at Dawson his receipts
from his saloon and dance hall, the
largest in tbwn were $5,000 to
! $6,000 a day.
