的plight of the men was discovered by an aviator. He flew his plane over the spot to attract attention to the trapped men. With the aid of twelve men of her own companies, and Chiefs Fred Brown and George Long, of neighboring companies, the men were dragged out of the danger zone and given first aid by Chief Allen.
