fie added a note of caution: that
the flyer may have fallen over a
cliff or been swept into the river.
“It’d be foolish to raise hopes of
his family unnecessarily.”
Brownfield had reached the
half-way point in his journey
back to civilization after crashing
his plane, Weed said.
Wreckage ol Brownfield’s plane
is 80 miles northwest of the Vogel
cabin where the note was found.
He would have another 80 miles
to reach Gold Creek, on the Alas
ka Railroad.
“I’m amazed at his stamina and
pluck,” Weed said. “With no
equipment, no food, low-cut shoes,
very light clothing at the time he
set out from the plane, he was
able to cover 80 miles of rugged
wilderness in an estimated five to
seven days.”
Weed said he figured that from
ashes in the stove, and the fact
there were only three empty vege
tables cans found in the yard.
Brownfield spent only a short
time in the cabin, possibly only
one day.
The possibility Brownfield went
downstream from the Vogel cabin
has not been overlooked. Weed
said that in that case, hopes would
be lessened that Brownfield would
be able to survive because the
downstream terrain has many
steep gullies and sliffs.
Yesterday, Week scouted the
area carefully in the helicopter.
He said several times his hopes
were raised by seeing footsteps in
the snow.
“But—going lower I found they
were bear tracks. *which are al
| most the same as human tracks at
a distance.”
The 49th Star, newspaper, re
ceiveed word from Gulkana Sat
urday that two trappers are head
ed into the upper Susitna wilder
ness—some 50 miles northwest of
here—by dogteam in hopes of
finding some trace of Brownfield. :
Ben Neeley took his dogteam
into the country near the west
fork of the Gulkana River where
he will visit trapline cabins.
Johnny Tyone is moving into
the Tyone Lake section, where he
owns trapping cabins, and where
there’s about one foot of snow.
Brownfield’s wife and his father 1
Murl Brownfield of Sequim, |
Wash., visited Gulkana recently
and made several flights over the
area.

Yacht Corsair
Cron tided After
Striking Rocks
ACAPULSO, Mexico. </P> — The
luxurious yacht Corsair, once the
private ship of banker J. Pier
Morgan, struck rocks and we<it
, aground early Saturday in Aca
pulco harbor.
Passengers said there was “no
panic" and "no great excitement.”
About 55 passengers and a crew
j of 77 were taken off in lifeboats
1 and small harbor craft.
Port officials said the 343-foot
vessel struck rocks a few minutes
! after midnight. Although she was
going slowly, a large hole was
torn in the bow. It had left its
dock only about 15 minutes previ
ously.
Capt. H. Nedden of Vancouver,
! B. C., who has skippered the for
! mer Morgan yacht since July,
! J947, pointed her at a small near
i by beach, “Ensenada de los Pre
1 sos” 'Bay of the Prisoners). The
vessel’s bow is submerged a short
distance off shore and shipping
men said if the captain had not
acted quickly the boat would have
sunk, she was shipping so much
water.
It was while the Corsair was
being beached that passengers
j were assembled at their boats and
when the boats touched water they
had only a very short distance to
go.
Among those aboard was John
M. Allen, Seattle, general passen
ger agent of Pacific Cruise Lines,
Ltd., which operates the “Corsair. ’
Allen telephoned David E. Skin
ner, head of the Seattle firm from
Acapulso with details of the acci
dent.
Allen attributed the crash to
steering engine failure, although
he said the exact cause had not
been determined.
The “Corsair” operated as a lux
ury cruiser between Los Angeles
and Acapulco in the winter and
between Vancouver and Alaska in
the summer.

LASS-TOSSER GETS TOSSED

mum monthly pension payments

The workers do not have to pay

which is added to company pen
sions ot make up the $100 total
Workers with fewer years of

That cost is shared equally by
workers and company.
Asked if the settlements now
signed with about 50 large and
small companies would bring
higher steel prices, Murray de
clared: I can’t answer that, of
course.”
Industrial peace in steel towns
brought impromptu celebrations.
In Lorain, Ohio, where National
Tue Company, a U. S. Steel sub
sidiary, employes 10,000 unionists,
the revel turned out to be an auto
horn blowing joyride. Celebrats
jammed the streets in that Lake
Erie port.
In Homestead, Pa., near Pitts
burgh singing men and women
filled sidewalks from curb? to
storefronts.
Over the nation, the strikers lost
an estimated $270,000,000 wages
during the six week long strike.
Added to that strike loss figure is
the 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons of
steel production which would
have been produced if the work
ers had not struck.
Some of the laid-off workers
will be slow in returning to work.
In the auto manufacturing indus
try, where 43,000 employees are
idle, several weeks will be requir
ed to build steel stockpiles.
President Benjamin F. Fairless
of big steel, who led the industry’s
fight against the union’s demands,
said in a prepared statement:
“We welcome the conclusion of
the strike and resumption of steel
operations which will enable us to
do our part in meeting the steel
needs of the nation.”
The Fire Department was called
to the Mahan residence on Stead
man Ave., last Friday. The alarm
was caused from an overheated
stove. No damage was done.
