Jet hunters save six from Soldiers Slough peril
Don Jedson leads a rescue along the North Yorkshire coast as jet hunters, including Rufus Crouch, pull seven survivors from the dangerous quicksand known as the Soldiers Slough. The heroism earns praise from Fisher Threpham and the Langtons at Woodburn parish. Violet Mowbray, guardian Langton, and Don share unspoken feelings as Don contemplates a life beyond jet hunting.
