Fatback was scarce in the South and thousands of cooks were grumpily boiling vegetables without it-just like the damyankees. But you could get things, Mac.

Then the helicopter fluttered down on an improvised platform. The survivors, in basket stretchers, were lashed to the undercarriage of the helicopters, flown to the PBYs waiting on. Wolf Lake.
