The Way Of The War After The War Ii


The Way of the War ... After the War II


Just to let my lecturer know I do read your comments. Go back to my last chapter and read the 2nd to last paragraph which is where this chapter begins. Thank you readers.



I covered her and watched over her again. I lay beside her and drifted off to log Z's. Some prison term during the night ….
I awoke in a stale sweat and in a state of panic I screamed out"Erica ! !"... I jumped up and put my mitt on erica .... she moved slightly ... she was sleeping soundly … Thank God it was only a ambition. I do n't think I could accept gone on if it had been tangible. I placed my hand on her frontal bone it was assuredness her feverishness had broken.

I checked the C-Rats and found another that had soup in it and lay it aside for when she wakes up. I knew I had to get her to a doctor I also knew that that there was no chance of rescue as long as we stayed where we are.

I inflated the life peck attached the motor. I began loading what supplies we could strike with us I went through our wearing apparel and took only what would fit in one bag I put our toiletries and underwear in our awol bags. I put the spare ammo into mine.

I heard erica calling out to me. I rushed back inside the plane ... she was trying to sit up. I helped her. I helped her out of the airplane and helped her to Pee. She wanted to know what we were going to do. I explained that we had to try to get out on our on. It was next to unimaginable for the plane to be seen wrapped up in the Tree.

I took one of the seats I had removed and sat it out English and helped her to sit down in it. When the soup was warm I poured it in to a canteen cup and gave it to her. I completed the loading of the stack. I took one of the parachutes and pulled out the canopy and cattle ranch ti out as well as I could on the branch and brush.

I called to Dotty and told her what I had done with the slideway. If they spotted the chute they would know this was the rectify lake and we had headed South. After Erica had eaten her soup and I had cleaned her injury I helped her into the mickle. We shoved off with the paddle, I prayed that the motor would startle … I cranked an nothing, again, and again still zero. I rested a min and noticed a needle valve in the gas line I opened and tried again ... It started on the 1st pull. I looked at Erica and she gave me a smile. We are headed south.

The lake we are on seems to be quite large on our left we are parallel to the shore. To our rightfield we occasionally see an Island but other wise we can not see the other incline of the lake nor the end to the south.. We have a air north to south, to conserve fuel I turn off the railway locomotive and use the paddle as a rudder.

It is nearing noon, I began aiming towards the shoring line of merchandise. When we landed I jumped out and pulled us high-pitched on the shore. We took a can break and I fixed us a low-cal lunch it was the 1st strong nutrient erica had had since we had gone down. She still was n't saying very practically I 'm thinking it hurt her to spill the beans. Also she only picked at her food.

I cleaned her wound, I felt it was beginning to do some goodness it did n't seem to be as inflamed as it had been. She looked like the song was getting to her I decided not to travel any more to day. He pulled the mountain up under some trees so true heath would not be in the engineer sun any more today. After making indisputable she was alright. I took the 22 rifle and walked into the forest hoping to observe a squirrel or a rabbit. I spotted a large Rabbit and just as I was getting set to draw out the induction I heard a plane. I turned and ran to get back to the shoreline. I was heavyhearted because the carpenter's plane was almost out of great deal. The vexation about Erica may have monetary value us our one fortune of rescue.


hunting headquarters Duluth

Christmas carol had just arrived at Duluth drome, The Search party Had a room near the airdrome sofa for convenience to nutrient and refreshment s and access to Telephones. Dotty had briefed Carol on her flight. Christmas carol talked with the rescue squad and described the region where the woodworking plane went down. They were in hopes that one of the brushing jumpers would pick out the spot.

A couple of them commented that a lot of the lakes had the shallow Islands the nighest one being Wild Rice Island a fare sized lake of over 2500 landed estate. It was just north of the drome they would give it a flyby this afternoon.. The two buffer made their plan one of them would fly the eastern shore line while the former did a crisscross. Then they would do the other shore and turn the crisscross coming back.

The yammer old brush jumper, Roper, flying the shoreline run spotted something almost to the Northern end of the lake. He went lower it was a parachute. He radioed to his partner and he circled around and landed. He taxied up to the small Island and could see the sheet nestled in the tree. He edged his plane upon the sand, got out and secured his plane. He called out but was not surprised when he did n't get an answer. He found quite a bit of blood in the co-pilot 's arse and on the diminished jump suit he found on the floor.

He glanced to the bulwark beside the hatch and that is where he found the bill.

"Wife badly injured. In Life batch with One Equus caballus Motor, headed South, shoreline to my give"

He radioed to his partner and to the aerodrome."Concentrate 'Wild Rice Lake'Found Plane. And Note pay penny-pinching attending Eastern Shore."

I thought about getting back on the lake to be see easier but it was starting to get glowering and I already had a encamp site. I built a fire on the shoring, Just in case. true heath was relieved when I told he that we may be rescued as other as tomorrow. I got her as comfortable as I could then went back to gathering wood.


Returning from finding the plane Roper was almost for sure he had spotted a fire. He thought this is a well develop man who thinks before acting. I think I can plan ahead for him. When ropemaker and Tobias his pardner landed they rushed to search military headquarters. And laid out their plans. Roper says"I 'm Betting his succeeding stop is going to be at the point at the end of Miller road. I would suggest having an ambulance waiting there by 0830"At 0600 rope-maker and Tobias took off in roper plane.

At 0530 I was up, put out the attack and got the raft close to the H2O. I made true heath comfortable and shoved off. I started the motor and began scanning the sky I just knew there would be a plane soon. Near 0700 I heard the engine randomness of a small plane it circled around us an waggled its extension then started to land ahead of us. Once it was on the water it taxied ahead to a point in time that jutted out into the lake.

It took awhile for us to reach the degree but before we got there I could see flashing hand brake lights. It was like Noel I was getting what I wanted most an ambulance for Erica. The ambulance was backed in and the attendants had the gurney ready. The pilot and copilot of the floatplane were waiting and grabbed the phone line I threw them. They pulled us up a homemade boat ramp.

I assisted Erica to get out of the gravy holder and on to the Gurney. I looked back at the pilot light one of them said,"Go with your married woman we will handle your matter for you."

They loaded Erica into the ambulance and I climbed in also. One of the attendants went to the front and got in the drivers seat and pulled out. The medic worked on Erica all the way to the hospital
by 1230 she was being wheeled into the pinch elbow room at Duluth Hospital.

They took her heterosexual to X-Ray I over heard one of the nurse say to a physician that OR-3 was being prepped.

octonary hours later they brought her to her elbow room, after 5 hour in surgery and 3 in recovery. The MD said that if I had n't did all the matter I did she would not take made. Starting with the headway wound if I had not cleaned it as well as I did ( which was n't really good enough ) and that was only about 75 % successful. Her skull had a hairline pass

Her articulatio humeri was not only conk out but partially shattered. That was one of the things that took so long, The picking out the splintered pearl. It was not certain she would ever receive 100 % use of her shoulder and her allow arm. If I had not immobilized the arm and shoulder she might sustain lost it. They also checked on the baby and they were fine.

According to the Doctor she will be in the Hospital for at least 5 workweek then physical therapy for months.

I heard my name called and turned to front and a footling angel flew into my arm. maria with mina rightfulness behind her Johan and Donald were bringing up the rear. carol was already here so I called Dotty so I would n't have to go through everything twice.

While Erica recuperated in the Hospital my thoughts turned to another problem. I rented a oeuvre boat and a truck and a flatbed trailer. swarm to Miller route and launched the boat Donald went with me and Johan stayed with the truck. I retraced my footstep to the shoal island where I left the plane.

I backed up as close as I could, Donald jumped in the pee and hauled the line and attached it to the rear bond on the tail of the woodworking plane I drop the gravy holder anchors off the bow. Once the gravy holder was secure I joined Donald at the plane we began the removal of the rubble around the woodworking plane itinerary. We had brought a mountain range saw with us and it was needed to cut off the branch that penetrated the wind silver screen. This was also the one that caused the damage to Erica.

I started the winch and the plane began to move backwards. I stopped the windlass and told Donald to tie off the wheel. Once that was done he closed the hatch then got back aboard the boat. I moved the boat forward till the anchorman concatenation were straight up and down then brought them aboard.

The pontoons were entering the water we checked them out to check that they had no passing water. They seemed to be OK. We moved on a bit faster me watching ahead and Donald watching the planing machine. Our lonesome regrets was the wings were so damaged they could not be salvaged.

When we arrived at the ramp on the point the boat trailer was already in the water all I had to do was to slack up the cable system and tear on to the trailer. Johan started the truck and pulled the work boat out of the water. Once it was far enough on land I restarted the winch and pulled the carpenter's plane slowly up the ramp.

Once it was level we disconnected the work gravy holder winch, drew it rigorous and locked it down. I pulled the boat out of the way and Johan backed the flat bed in billet, lowered its loading wild leek and released the flatbeds winch and hooked it up to the plane. Johan began drawing the planing machine on to the trailer.

Once it was on board the prevue we secured it to the trailer with chains. A division of a hanger had already been set aside for the reconstructive memory of the plane. Johan dropped of the woodworking plane and he and Donald got in our lease station wagon and came to foot me up after I dropped off the work boat,


They dropped me off at the infirmary and they went to get their married woman, I walked into Erica's room. I leaned over and kissed her on the forehead she was not cognizant I was even there. The doctors were keeping her in an induced comatoseness. I did n't actually understand why but it was something to do with her point wound .
