TWO DOG TEAMS MUSH OUT FROM TULSEQUAH, B. C. Rescue Plane Grounded by Wet Field for Fifth Straight Day Two dog teams from Tulsequah | have been enlisted to take supplies to the stranded Northern Airwa: party down since last Monday in the Sloko River miles inland from Tulsequah. Three men; two drivers and a spare man will mush the hazardous distance to the strandees. Members of the dog team relief party are uncertain as to whether or not the trip up the Taku River to the Nakina and Sloko rivers can be negotiated due to freakish weath- er conditions which have conspired all week to disrupt rescue plans. Temperatures ranging from 37 de- grees above zero on the ground to 50 degrees above in the air have melted snow and river ice in the entire Taku River area from Tulse- quah to Atlin. It is unlikely that the sleds will be able to travel the river course due to open water. They expect to take five days covering the 30 miles. Lon Cope, Marine Airways pilot, grounded at ‘ulsequah since last Tuesday was unable to effect a take- off today. Weather conditions are good but melted snow and slush on the Polaris-Taku mine field at Tul- sequah bogs the wheel-equipped Fairchild, Cope is using, in such a manner that with throttle wide ad- vanced the ship can barely move across the ground. Cope and a crew of helpers got no results from their hard labors in attempting to roll and clear a field. It is also believed that conditions on the Sloko are similar which| would prohibit a landing at the site of the accident. Cold weather, freezing the slush| into a hard surface will present the best solution of the take-off and landing problem. Radio contact with George Sim- mons at Carcross, owner of North-| ern Airways, decided on the dog team expedition. Simmons was of | the opinfon that it is useless to send | a ship from Atlin on a relief jaunt district some 30} Barbara’s Next? e London drawing room rumor has it that Robert Sweeny (above), native San Franciscan, now a resident of London, will be the next husband of Countess Kurt Haugwitz-Revent- low, the former Barbara Hutton, five-and-ten heiress.

No word has been heard from Les Cook, pilot of the plane, which came to a safe forced landing five days ago. It is believed that Cook and his four companions have holed up in a trapper's cabin about 6 miles from the emergency landing site. They have food and supplies for several days. If indications warrant, a ship from Juneau or British Co- lumbia will fly over the scene and drop additional essentials.
