ELIAS RANGE BY NEW METHOD American Geographlcal Society Party Reports on Summer Work The story of a difficult mapping expedition in the Mount St. Elias langl' of the Yukon Territory, not from here, is told in a recent number of the New York Times. The | account is as follows: Successful completion of field tests of a new method of aerial | mapping in the Mount Saint Elias .langl’ in the Southwest Yukon, dur- ing which the expedition was ma- rooned by blizzards for 18 days at 10,000-foot altitudes on Mount Wood, was reported yesterday by Walter A. Wood of Whippany, N. J., leader of the expedition and head of the department of exploration and field research of the American Geograph- ical Society. The expedition completed {he 7ield work of mapping 2,000 square miles |of the Mount Saint Elias range, supplemeneting field work done in 1935 and 1936. The party, consist- ing of Mr. Wood as leader and | aerial photographer; Mrs. Wood, in charge of ground photography and commlssax) Anderson Bakewell, as- | sistant to Mr. Wood, and Roger W. Drury of Milton, Mass., in charge of | meteorology, left New York June 27 and returned last Thursday. Oblique Photographs Used The new method of mapping, Mr. \Wood explained, employs high- oblique aerial photographs instead of vertical aerial photographs. The Mount Saint Elias range was chosen for the test because the high moun- photographs less revealing than high-oblique or side-angle photo- graphs, and because the snowy rug- ged terrain makes it difficult to set up ground stations. The advantage 40 for 2,000 square miles, as com- old method. The high-oblique system was de- vised by O. M. Miller, head 0f the department of mathematical geog- raphy of the American Geographical Society, Mr. Wood said compilation of data would take about two years. . The expedition reached Skagway on July 5, went by the White Pass and. Yukon Railroad to Whitehorse and flew by plane to Burwash Land- ing on Lake Kluane. The members proceeded with 30 pack horses to Wolf Creek Glacier. Oyer the glacier mey packed on their backs a ton of equipment, making 11 trips.

An hour later, it is estimated, the' engine gasped, died and Luft's two friends went down into the cabin to awaken him and get him to start the engine, but Luft would not ! awaken, It was then that the two realized | Luft had been gassed by carbon- | monoxide, and frantically they took him to fresh air and flagged down the passing steamer Alaska. Capt. O. Anderson, of the Alaska ran the steamer directly alongside the drifting Starlu and took Luft and Martin aboard. Luft, uncon- scious, was administered to immed- iately by two physjclan passengers on the Alaska, Dr. Howard Romig of Anchorage, and Dr. J. E. Young, of Cordova. | Picking up Luft at 4:05 p. m. off Marmion Island, Capt. Anderson | had him in a Juneau ambulance an’ hour later and under the care of Dr. L. P.

Anderson, of the Alaska, | |many times witness of carbon-mon- oxide victims, said Luft ‘‘couldn’t have lasted to port” without the medical attention the doctors on the | Alaska were able to give. At the hospital, Luft was put un- der an oxygen tent. His heart was' still balky last pight and he was, “awfully cold,” but the heuhche he had was “a dinger.” Cash Cole took his boat Jazz out | soon after the arrival of the Alaska, to find the Starlu and bring Jacob- | sen and the drifting craft to port.
