Island in the Sky Page #3

---

Stop him if you can. Who else?

Stannish is in or just out of Greenland.

We haven't had a signal in two days.

Great communication system.

What about J.H. Handy and Stutz?

Handy ought to be on his way to Iceland.

Stutz is on his way out of there.

McMullen and Fitch are supposed to be

over at the hotel.

I'll have to dig for Wally Miller.

He's got that dame in Boston.

Get him out of there.

Have everybody you can get ahold of

in the briefing room at 9:00 am.

Turner, see that all five ships

are fully equipped with arctic kits.

Get with Ditson and work out the stuff

to be carried for dropping.

Cord.

You haunt the radio room and let me know

the minute anything worthwhile comes in.

Now, have you gentlemen any further ideas?

We better have some by morning.

Those airline boys

are gonna be hard to hold.

Hiya, Walrus!

- Did you bring any whiskey?

- No, we brought some fresh milk.

Milk? Milk is for babies.

Hello, Stannish. How are you?

Good to see you.

Hello, Breezy. How was the trip?

What do you guys mean by coming up here

without a drop of the blood of man?

What did you bring, anyway?

Parts of a snowplow, groceries,

a lot of medicine and wastebaskets.

- But no whiskey?

- No whiskey.

Hear anything in particular

on your way over?

Static. I guess the weather is bad behind us.

It is.

I suppose we go on to Iceland

in the morning.

I'm telling you right now,

I won't wear this shirt another week.

Maybe you won't.

I've got some bad news for you.

We got word from Presque Isle

just before you landed. Dooley is down.

- Where?

- I don't know. They didn't say.

- They reported heavy ice.

- What kind of a load did he have?

Two engines for overhaul and full tanks.

I don't think he went in the drink.

I did some figuring,

he must have come down over land.

- Breezy, let's get out of here.

- Wait a minute, Stannish.

I know how you feel, but you gotta rest.

We've got to find Dooley.

We'll rest another time.

I don't want to put you under armed guard.

You won't. I'm a civilian and I'm leaving.

- I can and I will.

- Dooley may be freezing to death!

I know that, but you got to wait.

The weather is stinking

at Goose and Presque Isle.

What do we do? Sit here and wait

until summer comes to the Arctic circle?

You'll only hurt Dooley's chances

if they have to go out and look for you, too.

Now, get about four hours' sleep.

We gonna have some late dope by then.

All right. Four hours, but no more.

The captain of Lighthouse Lil

wants to talk to you.

- Penelope to Lighthouse Lil. Go ahead.

- Have you heard about Dooley?

I can guess. He got himself transferred

to the nice warm Pacific.
