Qantas Crew Help Lost Pilot in the 1950/60s

Can anyone recall the details of a Qantas crew helping out a pilot lost somewhere over the Pacific, I think? There was something about the Qantas crew asking the guy to hold his arm out and count the number of knuckles between the horizon and the sun followed by some other very clever pilot nav techniques.

If anyone has the full details I would be most interested to read them again
