He had ample emer- gency ' rations, sleeping bag, tent, rifle, axe, and ‘a blowtorch which he had -borrowed from a Watson Lake resident, “I inspected the gas supply and realized I had enough left for about 20 minutes flying. I put the motor tarp on, so the weather wouldn’t do any damage, and when Herman Joslyn, the P.AA. pilot, fimally dropped a note saying where I was, trouble to warm up the engine with the blowtorch and get going. It was only 10 minutes flight to Selkirk.” Radio Battery Out Although the Monocoupe is equipped with radio, the battery ran’ down the second day, although not before Renshaw “worked” several different Alaska stations i “That radio proved to be the winning factor,” he sazid “I told on ‘the #ir about dgeing a plane fly over' the second day - The boys in Whitehorse figured out that it could Qujy have, been Vern Brook- walter, flying a twin-motered King- | from Whitehorse to Mayo that day.!
