In Forced Landing Airmen Escape

When trapped by the sudden blizzard, one icked a lake near Carbonear as llS_8m8l'§€l'lCy field, and brought his aircraft down with no more damage than a bent pm. pcllor.

The other chose a small garden in the tiny settlement of Kelli- Erews Crossing and pancaked his Plane there. coming to rest in a snowbank. He was uinjured while his plane suffered only slight damage.

Isaac was a sullen. rather quarrelsome man. and not always a good companion: and 0h}! may have had some part in Tedd!’ l decision to transfer to a 1180mm!“ on the Irish coast.

To a man who sought "peace and quietness," the Eddvstono was en ideal lace, aii<'_- when, in addition. a pretty good and regular income 1W3: to be had, there was no lack

Wllllfi the other would patiently vxait for his coming out of the "fit."

Their duties were light but regu- lar; there was food to be cooked, the building to be kept clean and orderly, and the lighting apparatus to be attended to. At night, each stood watch four hours, turn and lurn about. while the other slept. While watching the lights Potter read hi; Btble and books lent him by Rudyard: Dorkin, during his ivatdi, smoked and meditated. for he could not read. Sometimes the two lived very amicably, for Dorkin was not a. bad fellow at bottom; and so matters went until eleven years had passed away.

John Potter, being a careful man, had amassed sufficient money as would he thought. keep him 1n hi8 old age, and hoped to retire when his vacation came, next year. He was destined t0 have a terrible adventure before that took place.

"You'd better turn in. then; an I'll take half your watch. n! well f-s my own "
