...squeeze only three men in his cabin, but he had an idea. He got out his silk parachutes, laid two men on the ice. He swaddled them in all the clothes they had, then in the parachutes, wrapping them like Indian papooses. He laid out one on each under wing of his biplane, lashed them securely, flew his load of five 100 mi. across the white waste to Cape Van Karem. When Pilot Molokov came back for another load, Professor Schmidt had developed pneumonia symptoms but he refused to leave until all his villagers had gone. To the Soviet high...

Eyeing the Senate's work from the far wing of the Capital, House leaders shook their heads. They thought it unwise to load down U. S. taxpayers any further- especially in an election year.
