Prest; the aviator, while attempting a flight across Yukon territory and Alaska; He flew with his moving picture ca-j mera above a great heard of caribou; and was forced to land In their midst.; He slaughtered one ' to keep from! starving. The herd Is part of. the) great body of caribou which annually' trek across the region near Dawson and Eagle. Prest had flcrwn by a roundabout way from San Bernadlno, Cal., to the far north. Prest's own story of his experience is told in the following dispatch from Eagle to the Dawson Dally News: . "Thirty minutes out of Eagle my engine bucked. I looked for a land ing place and picked what looked like a level spot. It wag Nlggerhead Flat at the head of Deer creek, eight miles south of Seventy-Mile river. I fixed the engine and noticed a couple of caribou. I set up my movie camera so as to get them. More of them were coming, so I began to see about taking off. Turning, I noticed five or six hundred caribou all around the airship and camera, and rushed back expecting to find the camera ruined, but no damage was done. I got ready to take off, but the ship went upon her nose in the soft going and broke the propeller. "I had been debating about killing a caribou, but the debate ended when the propeller broke, so I killed one with my 32 pistol and butchered him with a pocket knife. , "I was overhauling the motor when a puff of wind finished the job by turning the ship over on her back and breaking the radiator. So I de serted the ship, stripped off the in struments and magneto and started to pack down to the river. I got down with one load and saw I was not going to make it with the grub I had, so I cached everything and went back to the ship and slept in its, tail Sunday night. I had left my compass in the cache at the mouth of Barney creek, so I started without it. I was further out than I thought. I did not pick up the trail and made a lot of un necessary , circles, climbing mountains for observation. It was raining stead ily but I had equipped myself with a small can of gasoline to make fires. "My shoes and feet were giving out and I was afraid to He down to sleep. Finally on Wednesday I struck the trail at Nimrod Bar and shortly after a searching party hove in sight." Eskimo Tribesman Kills Seven Men. Edmonton, Alberta.

DENBY FALLS WITH PLANE HIS AIRPLANE FALLS TO EARTH FROM AN ALTITUDE OF 4,000 FEET. Engine of Machine Goes Dead While T lying Over Great Wall of China; Nobody Is Hurt. - Peking. Secretary Edwin Denby.of the American navy, narrowly escaped death here in an airplane accident. He was flying at a height of 4,000 feet over the Great Wall when the engine of the plane stalled. The ma chine was demolished In landing, but Mr. Denby was uninjured. The plane belonged to the Chinese government and had seen service in the recent fighting between Generals Wu Pei-Fu and Chang Tso-Lln. Secretary Denby, emphasized that he had made the flight of his own suggestion and that he did not go as the guest of the Peking adminis tration. The forced landing made in the heart of the hills traversed by the Great Wall, was a thrilling one, after a spectacular flight in which a high hltltude was reached to. avoid the rnountaln tops. The party took off from the capi tal at noon. In the plane, besides the head of the American navy were Captain Robert Bruce and Command er George Simpson,-of the American havy, and Charles Dolan, of Boston, who piloted the machine. After circling over Peking, Mr. Den-! by suggested that they proceed to the Great Wall of China. After half Kn hour's flying over the wall at an altitude of 4000 feet, the secretary expressed a desire to follow the course of the ancient barrier to ob serve Its serpentine path over the hillsides. Realizing his danger, Pilot Bolan started to volplane downward, seek-1 Ing a landing place. Finally he lo cated what appeared to be compara tive clear space in the midst of the bills. Here the plane was brought to earth only to be wrecked against the rocks that strewed the ground. Secretary Denby was the first man clear of the machine as it struck and he and his companions all escaped un injured. The party walked to Nan kow station, where they telephoned their plight to Peking and a special train was sent to bring them back to the capital, . Price Level Shows Inrrease. Washington.
