Whelan said that he was indebted to Pilot Harry Baker and also to the Air Force for dropping food and water. Mr. Whelan walked eight miles on Saturday in search of a water hole and came across a camp of eight natives, all of whom were quite without food. He wondered how they lived. The temperature was mostly 103. Pilot Baker received scores of congratulatory messages on his heroic rescue.
