May Have Picked
Up Trail Of Long
Missing Pilot
ANCHORAGE, </P> — Hopes
that searchers may have picked
up the trail of Francis Brown
field, missing pilot, rose today,
i even as the people of Anchorage
were preparing a benefit program
for the man’s family.
Pilot Don Sheldon and trapper
George Blair reported from Tal
keetna, 100 miles north of here,
that they had sighted what ap
peared to be “some sort of a lean
to, collapsed by the wind” in the
Talgeetna mountains. They said
they were unable to land their
plane and investigate, due to the
rough terrain.
Brownfield, father of si* child
ren, has been missing since Sept.
5. One other member of the hunt
ing party, Pat O’Donnell, survived
a 24-day trek through the wilder
ness of the Talkeetna area. O’Don
nell was the last person to see
Brownfield. The pilot left O’Don
nell on a small river bar and
crashed while searching for a
larger landing spot. Brownfield
survived his crash and later left
a note in a cabin which he found
in his wandering and from which
he picked up supplies.
Sheldon said he thought it might
be possible to land a helicopter
about a mile and a half from the
sighted shelter. Bitter cold and
deep snows would make further
ground search difficult. Officials
of the Tenth Rescue Squadron in
dicated the report would be inves
tigated as soon as w'eather per
mits.
Tonight’s party for the Brown
field family, a smorgasbord and
dance, is the climax to a program
j designed to raise funds to return
| the Brownfields to Sequim, Wash.,
where the missing pilot’s parents
live. Donations already in the
fund total nearly §1,400.
All the family’s money has been
! spent in the long and futile search
I for Brownfield.

: Mercado remained in the woods
lor a day and then made his way
to the unoccupied cabin and
awaited rescue. He could find no
matches with which to start a fire.
i The boots he made of cotton rip
I pod from a mattress in the cabin
were not enough to keep his feet
i from freezing.
