CO far ns in known, no. white
, man ever before had seen tho
' part of the world where Rosbert
. and Hammel crashed in their ice
encrusted plane; and surely no
two men of any color or creed
ever had a closer scrape with
' death. As I got the story during
its many retellings at the cottage
before Rosbert headed back to the
States to recover his health and
get a bone-setting Job done on his
shattered ankle,: his plane took on
a double load of Ice when he tried
to get back to Dlnjan. .
He kept gathering Ice, and at
last, out of the grayness beyond
his windshield, a mountain peak
virtually leaped at him. 'Instinc
tively, Rosbert swung hard on the
controls to veer away, bul it was
too late. An Instant later there
was a terrific crash, and a jolt
that snapped his right ankle like
a matchstick and broke the neck
of poor LI Wong, the Chinese boy
who had been my radio operator
until that morning. Ridge Ham
mer right ankle was badly
sprained making It pretty evi
dent that no right rudder had
ever been kicked harder by pilot
and co-pllot together.
For three days the two men
lived In the shelter of their man
gled cabin, Rosbert in an agony
of pain from his broken ankle,
Hammel of little use to himself or
his friend because of his own
injury as well as the intense sub
zero cold that threatened to freeze
; them to death before the stlll
' raging blizzard had died down.

It over his body. On the third
day, when their ' emergency ra
tions were just about gone, the
storm cleared and Hammel
dragged himself out of the ship
to discover that they were within
crawling distance of a. steep,
snow-packed decline. Studying
the terrain below, Hammel no
ticed that the slope continued for
several miles before reaching the
scrubby black fringe of the tim
ber line. He saw a chance for
them to Cover that entire distance
without using their feet at all.
He crawled back to the plane,
explained his plan to Rosbort, and
between thorn they bandaged
their ankles with strips of para
chute silk. Then they tore up a
couple of ' floorboards from the
plane's cabin and set out on prob
ably the most colossal sleigh ride
in the history of that sport.
All day long the two boys
worked their . way down the
mountain from one lce-cappcd
ridge to another. They would
crawl on hond and knees from
the foot of one decline to the top
of another, then mount their in
dividual ."sleds," and, pushing
over the edge, drop hundreds of
yards In a few breathtaking sec
onds, T OS BERT had a pocket compass

figuring that It would take them
if they lived long enough to the
neighborhood of Dinjun. There
was a ' hundred miles between
them and tho field, however, the
unexplored,, unmapped territory
of ' the Mlshmi Hills, which are
inhabited by aboriginal tribes of
Mlshml-lttis.

Phe Mishmi-ltes, whenever we
had heard them mentioned before, .
had always been referred to as
head-hunters, but they showed ho
inclination to decapitate Rosbert
and Hammel. In fact they grew .
to like their guests, and were
much impressed by the white
men's watches, . cigaret lighters
and the zippers on their tattered
flying Jackets. When Rosbert pro
duced a mechanical pencil and

day, a young boy came, an un

and after watching Joe draw pic

plain that he wasn't satisfied with
that; he wanted something dlf-'

pointed to Joe and then to the
bark. Then he' said the Mlshmi
word for "name" which was
one of the ZOO words Joe and
Ridge picked up during .their
month with' the tribe and Ridge
laughed and said: "Hell, Joe, he
wants your autograph."
Joe wrote his name on the bark

he tore off the' corner of a map

telling what had happened to
them. The boy grabbed the paper
and ran from tho hut. Four days
later he returned with a letter

that supplies were on their way
