south of Toledo, Wash., at 4:13

reported hearing a plane overhead
about 4:15 p.m., Tuesday during a
! heavy downpour, and a ranger at
|
Paradise valley, near the glacier
also told of hearing the plane.

struck the mountain, it woulc
have been buried in the deep snow
! and it may be some time before i
1 can be located even after the
