SAGAS OF THE SKIES - By Major E. E. Aldrin- . Manager, Aviation Department Standard Oil Company of New Jersey A MARCH gale twisted the Atlantic into great ridges of foam and shrieked through the rigging of tossing ships. Huge surges of surf battered the rocky ramparts of the eastern coast. Small craft scuttled to the safety of snug harbors and in the wheel houses of ships at sea, tugging muscles strained at the helms. It was no day for flying. Suddenly in the Coast Guard sta tion at Cape May, N. J., the wireless began to crackle. Sharp, imperative spurts of noise. Ninety-six miles out at sea the Bull Line freight er “Cornell a” heaved in the storm while anx ious faces bent over the still form of a sea man, Irvan Ar mistead, who a few minutes be fore, had been pitched headlong through an open hatch, to suffer 1 severe head and internal injuries. In Jerky, blue-flame staccato, the radio spelled the story of the mis hap and pled for aid. Lt. Richard L. Burke, crack pilot of the Coast Guard, ordered his ship turned out into the storm. Donning his flying togs as he ran, be leaped into it, gave it the gun and swung out over the flying spume towards the storm-tossed ship far out to sea. It was a fierce and valiant battle. But Lt. Burke |won as he had won several times before. By radio, he kept in touch with the position of the freighter land somehow landed close to it. Somehow, also, the difficult trans fer of the unconscious seaman was made from ship to plane in a small boat. And still, somehow, Lt. Burke lifted his plane off the moun tainous seas back into the sky. One hour and fifty-live minutes after he had left the base, he was back and the injured seaman was in an ambulance. That’s just one of many reasons why Lt. Burke is considered one of the best fliers in the Coast Guard and why Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau speaks of him as bis favorite pilot. 1 l>t Family of the Late Beloved Will Rogers NEW YORK . . .
