Arctic o‘

EDMONTON, March 2'l—(CP)-— A terse message from inside the Arctic Circle tonight told of the successful rescue of seven United States airmen down on the barren waste of Ellesmere Island, some 850 miles northeast of the magnetic pole.

The two-word message “evacua- tios, successful" signalled the end of a four day search for an Amer- ioon All‘ Force C-82 Fairchild pac- ket that crash-landed last Thurs- day. The message from Air Com- modore Martin Costello, 0.13.21, of Winnipeg, in charge of rescue op- erations for the R..C.A.I".., said the men werg picked up at 5:50 P.M. EST. today.

Actual rescue of the men was carried out by a ski-equipped 11.5. Air Force Dakota following a 1% hour flight from Thule. Green-f land. The downed plane was spot- ted late Saturday on the coast of Ellumers Island on Smith Sound between Baffin Bey and Kane bese.

An American 3-17, part of an armada of RCA!" end U..S.A.F_ planes scouring the Arctic waste- land. was the first to sight the crashed plane. .

Although the messag, telling of the successful pickup made ' no mention of the condition of the rescued men, earlier wireless xe- norts from the downed plane said all were in excellent condition.

The mein will be taken to Thule on Greenland. There they will be picked up by s B11 for the return flight to Goose Bey. Inbrador.

‘The ifiirchild ‘was. forced to Brash-hold while on an 1.100-mile flisht north‘ from Frobisher Bay to Resolute Bay. Frobisher Bay is on Baffin Island. Resolute Bay is on Cornwallis Island, somo 1,200 miles north of Churchill. Man.

The aircraft was about 700 miles off course when it crash landed because it was running short of fuel. No official explanation was available for the plane being so far

ff course. but the region is known to be difficult to navigate in. The relatively close proximity of the mflklietic pole makes use of normal compaises practically impossible.
