Monty took a canoe upriver and Danny went along to help him. They were accompanied by four native paddlers to make sure everyone returned. The Goose lay moored in a protected creek about a mile away. There was nothing particularly handsome about the plane, but there was a rugged, business-like quality about it. The high-winged, stubby nosed craft sported two Wright radial engines mounted with their props almost abeam the cockpit.
