Found while searching for something else: The best headline in New York Times history.

ASTRAY IN WILDS, BALLOONISTS ATE CARRIER PIGEONS / First Details Received of Hardships of Naval Airmen in Canadian Woods. / LOST, HAD GIVEN UP HOPE / On Fourth Day of Wandering Human Tracks Led Them to Indian Hunter. / AIR TRIP MOSTLY IN CLOUDS / Descended When They Thought They Heard Dog Barking -- Believed They Were in New York.

Dogs always make me think of Queens, too.

Not a bad first sentence either: “News just received from the Anglican minister at Moose Factory…”

HAHAHAHAHA!
Did you read? The Indian hunter ran away at first because one of them was walking around in his underwear. They are also described as "plucky" "aeronauts"

Apparently their wives decided not to come up and meet them.
