Court of the Third Division. WITNESS TELLS OF KOTZEBUE'S AIR TRAGEDY Brother George J. Feltes, S.J., Describes Crash of Marquette Plane Details of the tragic crash of the Marquette Missionary airplane at Kotzebue October 12, resulting the deaths of Pilot Ralph Wien, Father Philip Delon and Father William F. Walsh were given by Brother George J. Feltes, 8. J., who witnessed the accident, to Oakland, California, newspapers on his ar- rival there with the body of Father Walsh. With Father Delon as a passenger, Brother Feltes had pilot- ed the plane from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast just before it was brought to Alaska. His ac- count of the Kotzebue mishap fol- lows: “I, myself, warmed up the motor of the plane and had it running about fifty minutes before Pilot ‘Wien, whom Father Delon had hired to accompany us on our first round of the missions, to point out the landing fields, which are very hard to locate, took up the plane alone, as was usual. He flew around for about ten minutes alone and then landed. I went up to the win- dow near him and asked if every- thing was alright, before allowing anyone to get into the plane. He said ‘everything is just fine’ Then Father Delon and Father Walsh —you'll like it. by dampers to burn First—INDIAN Lump-Nut coal is easy on the Pocket Book.

They flew in a large circle of over a mile and into a small snow flurry about a mile land a half from the field Most likely some of the snow stuck on | the windshield in front, and Wien decided to come in and land. He shut down his motor to idling speed and glided in for a landing. When he approached the field, he saw he | was much too high for a landing {and turned on his motor and turn- ed and went back about a mile. He shut his motor back to about half speed and started in to make a very sharp nose-high turn to the left. In doing so the plane stalled, that is, lost flying speed and fell out of control in a tight spiral very much like a spin. When he started this turn he was about three hun- dred feet from the ground. “When about a hundred feet from | the ground, he pointed the nose of the ship straight for the ground, which is the ordinary way to re- :gain flying speed and therefore con-i | trol. About thirty to fifty feet from | |the ground he opened the motor i wide and struck the frdzen ground |head on at a speed of about a| , hundred miles an hour. Of course, i everyone of the three were instantly | killed. We got theém out of the| | wreck as fast as possible. They were ! badly mangled, nearly all of their -bones having been broken. I never ;felt so lost in all my life as after the accident. The only three per- sons that I knew in that section of | the country were dead in an in- | stant.” | sy S NOTICE OF HEARING OF FINAL ACCOUNT In the Commissioner’s Court for the Territory of Alaska, Division Number One, before Charles Sey, U.
