Turning upwards the spotlight of his automobile, the con stable signaled to the pilot. The pilot, catching the signal, came down and made a good landing on the field. He stepped out of his cockpit, and his first question was: “Where am I?” When Dennis ex plained the town was Blooming Prairie, Minn., the pilot then asked how far it was to Rochester. The aviator’s face lit up with surprise when he was told “only about 40 miles.” He said he had been forc ed to fly blind above the storm and that he thought he was probably some place west of Des Moines. In the airplane was the patient, Mrs. L. V. Curry, who the pilot had been flying, from Beverly Hills, Calif., to Rochester for medical treatment. A third passenger in the plane was a nurse. The pilot profusely thank ed Dennis for “saving my life.” He said his plane was running low in fuel, and that because of the patient he had not dared to at tempt a landing earlier. The pilot, wearing a straw hat and other Cali fornia apparel, was extremely cold. After his plane was refueled and he received directions, he took off for Rochester and landed safely at the Clinic City. Wo. F. W.
