ajthooug^j the bod es in the plane
could .r.te. be seen as the searching
[arty flew over the spot.
The wrecked plane was found 90
miles from North Cape, Siberia, and

from the ice-imprisoned fur-trader
tiisn.uk. to excavate the wreckage and
recover the . bodies.
Filqt JJigosson, in another telegram,
states that the plane was found 'JO
miles east ^f North Cape and 10
miles froom the beach line.
Crossoon had floown over the same
spot several times and dog teams had
searched in the near vicinity, without
being able to locate the wreck. He
states that he would not have seen it
this time but for the fact that the
sun was shining and reflected on the
plane. One wng ft he Hamilton
plane was sticking out oof the snow.
Describing the wreck, Crosson said
that parts of the plane were seen 300
feet distant. The engine was found
100 feet from the plane.
The position of the plane indicated
that Kie.son was endeavoring to re
turn, probably to Teller. He appar
ently had been caught in heavy log,
and seeing no way out had tried to
land, m which he haa misjudged the
landing distance, and then came the
crash, it is Crosson’s benef that the
crash caused 18 cases of gasoline to
be thrown on them.

has just returned to the motorship
Nanuk from a second trip of inspec
tion of the ill-fated Eieison-Bo. land
plane, reports that the altimeter on
the Eielson plane registered 1,000
feet. inis would indicate that the
instrument had gone wrong and that
it might be the reason which led ,to
the crash of the plane. - The throttle
on the plane was wide open, indicat
ing that the plane might have been
traveling at a speed of 120 miles an
hour.
