Phone Glendale 3361-W clothes never removed during the two days and nights of the fatigue. But within fifty feet of the depot the second physical accident came. (The first had been from a missle projected by the wind, which had caught Earle on the temple in the garage, and, inflicting a deep gash, had knocked him out temporarily). This second disaster was a truck smashing against his hip as the operator stood on the running board of his requisitioned car. He couldn't escape. Credit Miami with damage to Earle's hip and to the photographer wound stripe number two. A Mad Dash North Miami was fast disappearing in the distance as the train sped toward Jacksonville. In the latter city at 6 a. m. Monday, the next problem was a plane to Atlanta. Three hundred and fifty dollars demanded, two hundred and fifty of this cash in hand, was the modest price asked by an altruistic sportsman named Price for the use of one of his planes. To him of no interest whatsoever that the rest of the United States should see these pictures, and their hearts and purses being touched would contribute assistance to his fellow Floridians. Business is business. Even when the money had with the greatest difficulty been raised by Earle, then the beggar went back on his agreement. He preferred to fly to Miami anyway rather than carry him and his pictures to Atlanta. Thus eight precious hours lost (and only a newspaper man or news-reel manager or operator knows how precious they can be) , and the regular air mail plane shoving off at 2:30 Monday afternoon on the Florida Airways line was the only alternative. From Atlanta, Doug Davis in a Baby Ruth machine took off with Earle, but had to come down at Greenville at five-thirty that afternoon on account of darkness. In the latter town the flying newscameraman just missed the train for Washington, D. C, on which a section had been reserved for him. Ultimately Washington anyway. Again a plane with the terminal at Jersey City between three and four o'clock Tuesday afternoon. To the Pathe laboratories there and copies of the news reel were soon on their way to every part of the United States and abroad by steamer and Earle's work was done. As Pepys would have put it in his diary, 'And then to bed in a hospital in New York" and the story was told as far as the cameraman is concerned. But not entirely.
