Col. C. D. H. McAlpine and his party of seven aerial explorers, have been rescued from northern Canada's barren lands, but it will take them almost a month to reach civilization, according to estimates made today by officials of Dominion Explorers, Inc., who directed the two month search.
The Hudson Bay steamer Fort St. James picked up the party at Cambridge Bay, Northwest Territory, after it had been located by Eskimos and guided across the ice of Dease Inlet from Milbourne Island, it was said in brief wireless reports sent to Churchill yesterday.
McAlpine and his fellow geologists had been searching for fabulously rich copper deposits in the Hudson Bay region. Their two airplanes ran out of fuel while trying to reach a trading post at Victoria Inlet, September 8, and were forced down in open water just off Milbourne Island.
