INDIAN GIVES SEARCH CLUE Was Last to See Missing Flight Chief Battling Storm. By Wireleas to the Associated Press. ON BOARD COAST GUARD CUT- TER HAIDA, ATKA, Alaska, May 9.— A hop off today on the three United States Army globe-encircling air- planes from Atka Island for Attu lsland, in the Aleutian Archipelago, appeared probable. Fine, clear weather prevailed over this territory yesterday after heavy snow squalls, promising excellent fly- ng conditions today. The planes are in readiness for the excellent shape. They have been spending their spare time hunting, sailing, fishing and hiking. SMITH SENDS MESSAGE. The Army Air Service today re- ceived the following message, dated May 8, from Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, nbw in command of the Army’s around-the-world flight: “Flight delayed because of snow- storms, variable winds and unsatis- factory weather reports to westward. Delay very discouraging, but it would be adetriment to Our success to pro- ceed until better conditions exist Conditions look favorable fo. Friday.” The message was sent irom the coast guard cutter Haida, at St. Paul, Alaska INDIAN GIVES CLUE. two miles up the Chignik lagoon north of Chignik yesterday I found and Interviewed a half-breed Indian, who is apparently the last person who saw Maj. Frederick L. Martin, the lost United States aviator. The Indian's story clearly confirmed previous conclusions of the searchers that Maj. Martin had turned north- ward across the Alaskan peninsula to avoid a “blind alley” which would have been impassable in the snow- storm. Falled to Cross Mountains, In response to my questions, the half-breed, who spoke: in fair English, declared, positively, that Maj. Martin had taken the northern route. He described his failure to surmount the formidable mountain_ barrier which lay in his previously chartered course. 1 was led to the mud hut of the half- breed Indlan by the superintendent of the Alaskan cannery, which had been my objective in my motor launch expedition up the lagoon. We stood at the convergence of three ravines, one running south, one west and one north. 1In substance the Indian told me that about three weeks before he had seen three aviators coming up the lagoon, and that they had passed westward, over the middle ravine, about a week before. He said he had seen a single plane, coming from the same direction, in a driving snow and wind storm. The aviator had tried the southern ravine, the route of his charted course, but had circled for five minutes and returned, as found he could not pass the 3,000 foot mountain barrier. Flew Arcund Island. Then, sald the Indian, the plane flew around a small island, which he indi- cated in the lagoon, and headed di- rectly over the northern ravine, which leads to Lake Chignik and the Bering Sea. He said the wind was directly from the north. This fits in with the theory that Maj. Martin found an add- ed reason for taking the northernly course in a desire to keep the wind at his right, so that it would sweep him naturally to his southeastern ob- jective and free him from a windward landing. ‘We then proceeded up the lagoen in_an effort to interview the trapper HOTEL LOGAN 13th St. at lowa Circle N.W. have seen the plane, but we were blocked by the ice jam in We found no traces of the sled of the two Indians dispatched from Chignik on Saturday to search for the avia- tors. REWARD TO BE BROADCAST.

Frederick L. Martin and Sergt. Alva Harvey. Secretary of War Weeks expressed his appreciation of the alliance’s offer and directed that full facilities of the Alaskan cable be utilized to broadcast news of the reward. He also requested the Navy Department to use its more effective radio fa- cilities for the same purpose. Sec- retary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur has stated his willingness to co-op- erate in every way possible. The search for the missing aviators has narrowed down to the snow-incum- bered wilderness between Chignik Lake and Port Heiden. This terri- tory is almost impassable for white men and unexplored except by the Arrangements Indians and a few native traj It is hoped that the alliance reward will spur on fhese men, who know the waste,. to a thorough and diligent search.
