Arctic barge narrowly saved by rope and flashlight aid
Ex-flier T. H. Inkater of Kirkland Lake Ontario faced death on a drifting ice floe in the Arctic Sea when his barge’s anchor let go. A trapper upriver cast a line ashore and a flashlight, kept bright by fresh batteries, guided him to safety as the vessel veered toward mid stream. Inkster, a former Royal Air Force officer, credits the light with saving his life.
