and nearby gathered to watch.
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

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.:
