3 Killed in Light Plane
Crash Near Vancouver
VANCOUVER, British Colum
bia, <(/P) — Three persons were
killed when a light plane, de
scribed as flying “awfully close
to the water,” crashed and sank
west of Vancouver, B.C., Saturday.
One body was recovered and
the others were being sought by
a diver from the Esquimalt Naval
Base near Victoria.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
identified the pilot as George Wil
liams of North Vancouver, a dir
ector of a paving contractors’ firm.
One of his passengers was An
thony Gagnon, a Vancouver mech
anic. The third victim was a man
named Jack Campbell.
Police said the pilot may have
misjudged the plane’s altitude
over the deceptive surface of the
water. Witnesses said the plane
was flying close to the water and
appeared unable to gain altitude.
It crashed about 400 feet from
shore in 150 feet of water.
Nit: “Do you know why the
little ink drop was so blue?”
Wit: “No.”
Nit: “Because his father was in
the pen finishing out a sentence.”

Clergyman Says
Last Rites For Son
Caught In Crevasse
SPIRIT LAKE, Wash., (JP) —
Rescuers paused on a mountain
path Monday night as a grief
stricken clergyman intoned the 4
last rites of the church over the
body of his son who died in an
icy crevasse high on Mount St.
Helens.
The youth, 20-year-old Arthur
Jesset, slipped into the narrow
chasm at the mountain’s 8,000
foot level while on a climbing
trip with three companions Sun
day.
He lived a number of hours r
talking to his companions, as the
slipping ice eased him deep and
deeper into the crevasse. Mean
while, climbers fought frantically
to rescue him.
Late Monday, expert mountain
eers were lowered 75 feet into
the frigid itomb and recovered the
young university of Washington
student’s body where it lay in- ^
cased in ice.
ADD ICE DEATH yt,77staniln
The father, the Rev. Thomas E.
Dessett, descended through fag
and rain to this mountain lake in
southwest Washington.
He opened the Episcopal Book
of Common Prayer and read in
a strained voice.
Two of the rescuers, Jim and *
Louis Whittaker, twin brothers
from Seattle, had been lowered by
ropes into the crevasse to recover
the body.
They said it was wedged tightly
between the walls of ice.
