Show MAKE BALLOON INTO CANOES Hudson Bay Indians Get Wonderful Craft from Wreck of Giant Airship. Cochrane, Ont. Some wonderful canoes ca-noes appeared mysteriously recently in the James Bay region. They were constructed con-structed not of birchbark, but of a strange material the North had never -seen. The big balloon that carried three United States naval aviators into the wilderness several months ago has since lain where it descended. Officials of Moose Factory, one of the earliest posts established on American shores by the Hudson's Bay company, had given orders to all the Indians who owe allegiance to the ancient fur company, com-pany, to leave the great gas bag undisturbed. un-disturbed. These orders had been strictly observed, but a band of outlaw out-law Indians, whose home village is sixty miles northwest of Moose Factory, Fac-tory, found the balloon and from the sides of the fallen monster made canoes that rode the waves like thistledown. |
