HOPE SHATTERED FOR MISSING HALIBUTERS Search Patr‘lv\r' Returns to Yakutat—Reports No Trace of Wreckage ! | immediate finding of traces of the migsing bailibut boats Brunvol and Imperial or the 13 men that com- | mosed. the crews, a party of search- le turned to Yakutat a few days \ago from combing the coast, and reponted finding no . trace of the wreckage reported on the beach to the south The message telling of the re. turn of the searchers, was receiv. ed by the United States Customs officials here from the cutter Unal- ga, at Cordova. The party of men leflt a month ago to follow < had been reported to lhe ties by a native by the name eof Italio who said that he had sighted wreckage on the beach bhelow the Italioc River. From the descrip- tion it was.thought likely it was the wreckage of tlie missing Im. perial. The party had to traverse a rough country to reach the beach It was. necessary to go.overland for about 20 miles and ford three riyers with light boats, which were carried hy the men. = While it was not stated in the message received here, it is believed that when the party arrived on the scene, the storms had washed away any brok- en ‘wreckage which was seen in the breakers. Missing Since Nov. 15. The Brunvcl and Imperial have been missing since the close of the halibut season, Novembor. 15. When the boats did not report at any of the ports, several ships started combing the waters of the Guilf cf Alaska for traces and, for a month the search ,continued | without success. A score of hoats | including the Coast Guard cutter Unalga and. several large ships, searched day and night and during some of the worst weather of the: fall season, steamed up and down the coa d inyestigated every Penney, multi- | the six weeks w Isle, off Miami a “winter cap- ayne Day, (nternational Newsreel) return from South America and his inauguré tion.
