Pipe poles in eager hands spelled frantic words up on the surface of the ice. The plan turned and against swept low over the floe. From it dropped a huge ;can, a parachute attached to it open and the can, filled with steaming hot : coffee, settleel near the men. I The- plane sped back to the short and all the fishermen settled dow to wait through the long, cold hour before all could be brought to saf -ty.
