Chronicle to The Empire this fore- | noon said the plane which Boddlng‘ was flying north from Seattle for Tony Schwamm of Petersburg and ‘Wrangell was completely wrecked | when forced down in. shoal water | enroute from Alert Bay to Ketchi- kan last Tuesday and, Livingston | ‘Wernecke and Charles Gropstis were' killed when they crashed into a tree | attempting to land on the water to give aid to Bodding and Sherman. | Planes of the CRAF sighted the disaster, gave the warning and the | American Coast Guard patrol boat | ,Cyanp went to the scene. The dispatch does not state wheth-~ er the CRAF plane landed to get the | details, then took to the air and radioed Prince Rupert headquarters or gave out the details upon arrival {at Prince Rupert. Bodies Recovered | The bodies of Wernecke and| Gropstis were recovered, presumably. |by the Cyane and taken to Prince ‘Rupert together with Bodding and | Sherman. The bodies, according to a later |dispateh from Ketchikan, were left | at Prince Rupert but the Cyane is proceeding to Ketchikan with Bod- ding and Sherman and expects to |1and at Ketchikan during tonight. Both Bodding and Sherman were cut about the head and Sherman | the wrecked Bodding plane were sal- vaged and are aboard the Cyane. Sherman is a brother of Jack | Sherman, Alaska Airlines mechanic |at Ketchikan, and Bodding is well iknov\n in Juneau, where he resided |since birth until he went to Ketchi- kan over a year ago as pilot for planes out of that city. He is known |as a most careful pilot. The reason |for his forced landing is not known | here, but was presumably weather. | Gloom Is Caused The tragic death of Wernecke and | Gropstis cast a gloom over Juneau | Saturday’ afternoon. Wernecke was one of the foremost geologists of and Canada. He was consulting |geologist of the Alaska Juneau in this city and General Superintend- _|ent of the Treadwell-Yukon in the Mayo silver district. Years ago he | was at the westward during con- struction of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway and later be- came affiliated with the Bradley interests. He lived in Berkeley where his four-story residence is equipped with one of the country’s most. up-to-date research labora- tories. Wernecke was the first white child born at Livingtson, Montana, about 61 years ago and came west with his parents several years later. He is survived his his wife, in Berkeley, and a son and daughter, Tead and Claire. Mr. and Mrs. Wernecke are well known in Juneau, where they made their home on several occasions. Gropstis has been Wernecke's fly- ing pilot for several years and when not so employed has flown bombers across the continent from the West Coast. He is survived by his widow and two chidren who livein La Jolla, California. The search for Wernecke started last Thursday when Mrs. Wernecke, in Berkeley, gave out word she was worried over her husband's delayed | arrival at Vancouver where he was to confer with J. W. Williams, Gen- eral Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company. Wernecke left Hyder at 9 o'clock last Tuesday morning for Alert Bay where he intended te gas up for the flight to Vancouver. His disappearance called for an extensive search by the Cyane, the Canadian Royal Air Force and a party sent out from Hyder to search the shores.
