When taken to the area several days ago by Capt. Tom Smith on the motorship Yakobi, Ashby re- fused to be put ashore at Doty Cove 4nd insisted that he be put onthe beach two miles below the cove « Ashby made camp at his chosen place, mentally mapped out & square mile of searching area and started to work. At [first he searched the country to the south of his camp on the beach Finding nothing, he sté rted out into the timber one morning with his mongrel dog beside him and walked straight back from his camp,'and after having walked but five minutes from the beach, saw the wreck, almost at right angles tb the beach from his tent. It was not until four days later, Yesterday, that the seas calmed down enough to permit Ashby to row to Juneau and report his dis- covery with a bit of plane fabric and a water-soaked briefl case he took from the wreck. Gets Reward Today, the Chamber of Commerce and City Council reward commit- tee, voted to give Ashby a $1,000 check’ immediately. 'The veterans prospector will also receive $100 re- ward through Lloyds of London, who posted that amount for loca- tion of the plane's wreck.
