A large bomber type plane from
the air observers’ school at Crum-
lin airport operated by- Leaven Bro
thers, which was forced to make a
landing in McGillivray township on
Tuesday of last week, was snow
bound because of the recent storms,
about five miles northeast of Ail-
sa Craig.
The plane, with its crew of Pilot
Johns and three New Zealanders,
students at the school, was brought
down safely in a field on Albert
Bean’s farm, lot 17, concession 4,
McGillivray. No one was injured
and there was only minor damage
to the plane. The stalling of the
motor as a switch was made from
one gas tank to the other in the air,
caused the forced landing.
The crew telephoned to Crumlin
field and a wrecker was sent out on
Tuesday but it was z. decided to
make the small repairs necessary
where the plane landed. By the
time this was done, the storm had
snowed in the plane. The land
ing was not far from the scene of
the crashing of an American plane,
in which the pilot was killed when
it smashed into a barn.

Four young airmen, all wireless

Canadian winter scenes.
Picturesque ridges and
snow and ice formed from

the young airmen and in order that
they might get a better picture, two

, Rescue Attempt Fails
Airmen occupying the same bil
lets as the drowned young men and
also the two who survive state that
one of the latter made an unsuc
cessful attempt to rescue one of the
victims, hanging precariously from
an ice bank while endeavoring to
pull him to safety. The fourth man
gave the alarm at the village a
short distance away.
Dragging apparatus was secured
from Goderich and rescue opera
tions were continued during the
daylight hours of Saturday but the
sea was too rough to do effective
dragging. Conditions were worse
Sunday. The weather has turned
bitterly cold and a strong south
west wind is beating* waves against
the lake bank.
The double tragedy has cast a
gloom over the Port Albert camp,’
at which another contingent from
England arrived only a few hours
before the drowning, bringing the
night flying school to full strength
