Advices relayed from Pilot Harold Gillam, who had been at the scene of the wreckage, said Bor- land’s body was located Thursday under five feet of snow. It lay near the engine which had been hurled 100 feet from the wrecked ship. Indications were that Borland EARL BORLAND was killed instantly when the plane | struck the tundra and searchers said Eielson also must have been killed outright. Borland’s body was removed to the camp of tents | and snow houses maintained by the 19 men conducting | the search and will be sent tomorrow to the ice-bound | motorship Nanuk at North Cape.
