Paule Emile LaPointe, chief pilot for Quebecair Inc., a Canadian bush airline, was making a routine charter flight in a Douglas DC-3 from Goose Bay, Labrador to Mont Joli, Quebec one afternoon last June. With him was his copilot, Bill Awatter. Because the weather was clear, they dropped to about 1,000 feet and began looking for a Beechcraft that had been lost with two men aboard earlier this year.

High above the French village of Chamonix towers 15,781-ft. Mont Blanc, a permanent challenge to mountain climbers. Nearby is the even more difficult and dangerous crag, Aiguille du Fou (Fool's Needle), which only the more experienced mountaineers attempt. Last week Mont Blanc delivered up the bodies of four Spanish Alpinists who had disdained guides and paid with their lives. Two other lone climbers started up the rocky crag of Fool's Needle...
