    At this moment the teacher saw a man. He ran up with a gun(枪) in his {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. “The children must be kept safe {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the man comes.” Thought the lady.

    Captain Joseph Mackey's airplane was flying over the ocean on its way to Great Britain when engine trouble started. He turned back and made a crash-landing at night in the deep snow of Newfoundland, All the men in the plane were killed except Captain Mackey who was badly hurt.

    Captain Mackey waited all the next morning for an airplane to come{#blank#}1{#/blank#}him. In the afternoon he set out to find help. He went about a mile but found that he was too weak to go on through the snow. Half walking and half{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, he made his way back to the plane.

    The second day many planes passed above him, but none of the pilots saw him. In his plane was a flask(长颈瓶)of aluminum(铝)powder. He poured this on a huge stone to make the stone shine, but the wind blew it off.

    The third day Captain Mackey heard a plane coming nearer, flying very low. It flew right over him and passed on. Then he gave up hope of being found. In a few minutes the plane returned, and the pilot dipped(稍微降低) one wing to get a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}view. He had seen the aluminum powder blown by the wind on the snow.

    The pilot came for a better look, and then he saw Captain Mackey{#blank#}4{#/blank#} his arms. Jim Allison, the pilot, was an old friend. Allison quickly climbed higher and sent a radio message. In a short time a plane came and dropped a sleeping bag, food, medicine and tools for Captain Mackey. Later two men arrived with a sled to rescue him.
