 Well, get me over there, will you? This is a patrol plane. No passengers. This is an emergency. Somebody's got to find Ellery. Tell him to scout for those boys. Can you climb a rope ladder? Just drop it down here, will you? Get me over to that fire. From a hatch in the patrol plane, a weighted rope ladder drops down. Chief Cody, shabby and disheveled in his battered garments, briskly climbs the half dozen rungs, enters the cabin of the patrol craft, and hauls the ladder up after him.
