The plane was com- pletely demolished and in addi- tion to shock and minor in- juries, Moyer and Meyring suf- fered compound leg fractures. Moyer, Meyring and Jarman were brought to Juneau in the sea« |plane Patco which was sent to search for the plane when it was unreported shortly after noon yes= |terday, and were landed here at |dusk, last night and rushed to the | hospital. Early this morning the Patco, pilot Sheldon Simmons, left again {for Pinta Bay to bring in the body of Holmquigt, Dick Howard and Clarence Johansen, mechanics. The latter made the rescue flight with the Patco yesterday and remained at Pinta Bay overnight with Holm- quist’s body. | Caught In Down Draft The crash occurred just after the turn had been made at the head of Pinta Bay, in order to land into the prevailing wind, when the plane was caught in a sharp down draft and struck the tops of the high trees lining the shore. The plane was propelled some distance along the tree tops, mowing many of them down as it sped through them, parts of the ship were torn off and scattered among the tree tops. When it came to a stop the motor, thrown completely out of the plane, was some distance to one side of the cockpit, and facing in the opposite direction, according to Gene Meyring, who was pilot of the Alaska Southern Airways ship. Dazed by Sheck All were dazed by the terrifi¢ shock and when they had com- pletely recovered consciousness they discovered that Walter Holmquist had apparently died instantly. Nei- ther Moyer or Meyring were ablée to move because of their badly broken legs and Jarman, who suf- fered cuts and severe bruises pro- vided as well as he was able, the slight comforts available, blankets and emergency rations. The injured were scattered from 8 to 10 feet apart and remained in practically the same positions until they were found about B o'clock yesterday afternoon, nearly {30 hours later. Meyring was pinned in the cock= pit of the plane, with his safety belt still fastened when the res- cue plane landed. He was unable to get out until assisted by the res- cue party. Smudge Fire Signal Jarman succeeded in building a smudge fire which he kept going, {as a signal to the expected search plqnp, but it had gone out when lhe Patco flew over the bay yes= u-rd;n afternoon toward Chicha« gof. The party expected that the plane would return from there and | Jarman rebuilt the fire, which was |fed with bits of the shattered | Lockheed plane.
