Pilot Simmons reported that he | was held at Cordova for three days as a result of unprecedented cold | completely frozen over in October for the first time in the memory of 4me oldest inhabitant. Simmons was unable to take off from the lake as the plane was retarded by breaking | through the thin lce to below the within a few days the ice would be- come thick enough to support the plane and a takeoff could bé man- aged from the surface. After waiting three days only four inches of ice had formed which was not sufficient. The plane was placed on skids and dragged by a tractor to salt water where no further difficulty was ex- perienced. “Weather conditions were as good as can be expected at this time of year and aside from the difficulty at Eyak Lake, which was very un- usual, we didn't have any trouble.’ Shortly after hoon today Simmons tedk off for Skagway, returhing at 2:30 pm. with Fire Chief V. W Mulvihill, who was a passenger from Juneau to Skagway on the Yukon F.iday, Simmons reported that the bay at Skagway is frozen and the temperature is down to zero. He forced his plane through the ice as near the shore as possible and a channel was cut from the shore to the plane to allow a small boat to put Mulvihill aboard the Patco. - HIERCURY DROPS 70 14 DEGREES The second lowest October tem= ture ever recorded in Juneau marked at 8 am. yesterday, hen the mercury dropped to 14 degrees above zero, Weatherman Howard J.

T., which earries Livingston Wernecke, Consulting Geologist and Manager of the Treadwell-Yukon Mine, on several trips each year between €an Francisco and interior Yukon Territory. Gropstis arrived here at 1 pm. yesterday from Whitehorse after a | trip which he described as “lots of |fun and excellent experience.” When his plane left the water— already covered with soft floe ice— at Whitehorse his rudder was use- less from freezing, his controls were almost useless as a result of newly- formed ice, his propellor was deeply encrusted with ice from flying spray. and his pontoons were loaded down with two or three hundred pounds of ice. Fast Maneuvering It required about twice the effort to manage the controls, Gropstis said, and fast maneuvering was im- possible. Shortly after leaving Whn.e-I horse the ice which had formed on the propeller blades loosened and was thrown off, several pieces sfriking| forcibly against the pontoons, which, however, were not damaged. Immer- sion in the salt waters of Gastineau Channel soon freed the pontoons of their Joad of ice, and the Bellanca plane was hauled from the water to the PAA float. Sudden Cold Wave Gropstis stated that a sudden cold wave reached Mayo last week. Last Monday the temperature was 10 de- grees above zero, the following day it dropped to 12 below, and Wednes- day, the day Gropstis left Mayo, it was 30 below. The plane which had been partially beached in a lake at Mayo, had to be picked loose from the shore ice and a runway broken to open water. The plane was forced down by weather at lower Lake Le- Barge Wednesday night, but went on to Whitehorse Thursday where it remained until yesterday morn- ing. Fly to San Francisco Wernecke remained at Whitehorse and will travel by train, with the baggage of both men, to Skagway, where Gropstis will pick him up to- morrow. They had almost decided to remove the wings and ship the slane from Whitehorse, but Gropstis managed to get the ship off the vater so the trip to the States will now be made by plane. Questicned about forced landings between Whitehorse and Juneau, Gropstis said, “I didn't dare land— my stabilizer was stuck. I got up to 17,000 feet and did’t have any trouble.” Gropstis insists that there was no danger and that the flight was “a lot of fun.” JRAMA CLUB MASQUE NEXT THURSDAY EVE Ghosts will walk next Thursday night, when the Juneau Drama cluo holds its Hallowe'en Masquerade in the Parish Hall—a masquerade which shall live rigidly up to its name, since no one will be admitted who is not .quipped with at least a domino. Dancing will begin at 9 o'clock, with fortune-telling and visifations in keeping with the evening punctu- ating the usual merrymaking festivi- ties. Open without charge to all Drama Club ‘members and their invited juests, the dance wiil be followed by efreshments. Because its being held ‘n the parcchial schoel building ne- seesitates its closing shortly after twelve, guests are asked to arrive as early as possible. It has been an- nounced, however, that members wiching to attend Silver Night are welcome to attend later in the eveningz. = The important thing is that you co no: forget your masque. - KETTLESONS HERE T.

DORSHORF O "TRIP EAST; T0 { Enroute to New York to begin the work of classifying aid identifying specimens of fossil remains unearth- ed in the interior this summer, John B. Dorsh, Field Man for the Frick Laboratories, American Museum of Natural History, sailed for Seattle on the Northland. !
