The men were snatched off the lcefield by a light R.C.A.F. Norse- man aircraft piloted by Flt. Lt. Norman Keene of White Rock. B. C., that twice flew the-TO miles from Churchill. Four men _were brought out on the first flight and eight on the second.

Today, Harold Dunn, ‘Transport Department radio orepator at lonely Arctic Bay on Baffin Isl- and, for whom the flight original- ly was undertaken. was in the Churchill army base hospital for observation. He is suffering from renal cholic, a kidney stone ail- ment, but was reported as in "not serious but painful" condition.

Moore said the first part of the original mercy flight was unevent- ful and with the sick men aboard. the plane started back for Churchill.

Plane Off Course

But high west winds and the in- fluencc of magnetic pole, which made instrument flying unreliable, forced Charley Able Dog off course in the southwesterly corner of big Hudson Bay. The aircraft flow south and east. instead of southwest.

The Dakota started sending out SOS messages shortly before co- pilot Flt. Lt. Peter Heaslip of OSITDWA. Ont. Li. the controls with Moore at his side, made the suc- cessful belly-landing on the rough icefield. The plane plunked down on the one ‘stretch of ice where it was possible to lend safely. All around yawned great patches of water.

The distress signals, picked up st Churchill, set in motion a great aerial search for the crashed plane. Aircraft were called in from many points after Churchill was selected as a base for operations. A "fix" was obtained on the plane when its weak SOS signals from its "Gibson Girl," hand-operated "Ilemnoy radio equipment. were picked up at two points. Search- ing aircraft flew over the Dakota I111! dropped food and medical supplies.
