Schools were dismissed to view it also as most of the children had never seen a plane that size at close range. At 1:30 engines w'ere warm ed up and the plane taxied into the surf and out into the bay, and made a successful take-off. • The success was short-lived, how ever, as the same engine quit again and the ship landed at the airport, where it is now being tied down reportedly awaiting a shipment and installation of new engines before it proceeds to its destination at Anchorage. Many who had seen it when it was on the beach have been visiting the airport. The pilot, when complimented on his fine take-off in the water, said, “I knew it had to be good with all of those school children watch ing me.” PORT ORFORD—Great was the excitement here last Wed nesday when just before noon a large plane circled and then made an emergency landing on the! bay with one of its two motors out of commission. The plane, a 14-passenger Sikorsky amphib ian, then taxied toward shore, letting down its wheels and was towed up onto the sand by help-i ful onlookers Aboard the ship which was being ferried from Los Angeles to Anchorage, Alaska, for Reeve Aleutian Airway, were the pilot, a mechanic and the mechanic’s wife. When questioned as to why they didn’t land on the airport । just a few miles north of town, the pilot, McKenzie, stated that the motor quit over Port Orford and he had just seconds to set down as the plane started to lose altitude fast, so he picked the bay as the most likely spot. The coast guard was called and from the top of the bluff let down a steel cable from the winch on its truck and under By Dorothy Asdel direction of the guardsmen, /*rt Most of the news last week Hinderlie, the plan was pulled up further on the beach to pre centered around the plane which had a forced landing on the vent the incoming tides from local beach. Much of the town turned out to help kibitz when the coast guard pulled it up the soft sand out of the high tide, and many lent their labor in the jacking it up and putting plank under the wheels. The day it came in, the school children were allowed to come down on the beach to see it up close. Most of the children, according to many questioned, had never seen a plane, let alone one of that size, at such close range before and to them it was quite a treat.: It has been announced by । Frances Kirtland, grade school principal, that the community 1 picnic will be held at Humbug State Park this year on May 25. i This is an annual event and all children and parents are invited tlnàa«®' . as well as anyone in the commun ity who wishes to come.
