Ben Ison and Mechanician Bor- land cording to word received by Gov. rge A. Parks, this morn- ing, from Teller. | Pilpts Joe Crosson and Dorbandt are wgiting at Teller for weather conditions to improve so they can hop off for a thorough search of the Siberian coast and adjacent areas inland. = No news had.been received from the Nanuk of the dozteam searching parties remain- ing in the field. It has been three weeks since Col. Eielson took off from Nome on his last flight to the Nanuk, the trading n in off North Cape and hich he was engaged with Dorbandt in transporting passen- gers and furs to Nome. He took off on November 12. On that date a Russian trapper reported hearing a plane, thought to be Eielson's, slightly offshore and flying in or above a fog. Last week, another Russian report said smoke signals had been seen in the foothills by a native. Of five teams with rescue parties in the field, but one has returned to the Nanuk. It was headed by the ship’s engineer who covered a 90-mile area to the foot- hills without seeing any trace of the missing flyers and their plane. Stormy weather both on the American and Siberian side of Ber- “"ing Strail, has prevailed continu- ously since Eielson's disappearance. This has prevented the use of air planes, assembled at Nome and Tel- ler, in searching for the missing flyers. — et | WLLEDON HONEYMOON Former Washington U Football Star and Bride Victims of Crash WHITTIER, Cal.,, Dec. 2—Six per: sons were killed at a grade cross-| ing near here yesterday when an auto was struck by a southbound Santa Fe train. | The dead are: Joseph McCann and wife, of Cen- tralia, Wash.,, who were on thei honeymoon. | W.
