SIBERIA RUMOR
LOMEN DOES NOT BELIEVE
RUMOR CORRECT; NEWS
BROT BY DRIVERS
NOME, Jan., 13, (/P)—Unable to
confirm or deny the rumor that
Eielson and Borland have been j
found, owing to no communica
tion between Name and the trad- 1
ing schooner Nanuk during the
past 24 hours. Lomen said he had
received no word and “we do not
believe anything in rumors; if j
word was not received at Moscow.1
Where the dogteams conveyed
the news about 2,500 miles away
but if Eielson and Borland were
found along the northern Siber- j
lan coast the dogteams could i
have brought back the message J
to North Cape, 600 miles dis
tant.
Lomen received a wire from
Pilot Crosson, at the Nanuk,
throwing more light on where
the lost American aviators may j
be found. Dog team drivers have
lust returned from a direction j
south of the schooner Nanuk
and he, also traveled over many.
square miles of territory that j
took him back to the reindeer j
camps in and over the moun
tains where natives claimed they:
had heard Eielson’s plane, about!
25 miles away.
B. Berdielf, who drove the dogs,
left the Nanuk January 2 and
visited the reindeer camps, and
returned to the ship Saturday
night. He said Eielson’s plane
was seen over one camp and heard
by members of another which
was about 25 miles south of
North Cape along the foothills.
They informed him the plane
was traveling fast and indicated
that due to the fact he was not
high that he would not go over
the high mountain range. His
course was westward and his
speed approximated at 150 miles
an, hour.
Eielson and Borland had 18
cases of gasoline aboard making
continuous flying possible until
they ran out of tha fog into bet
ter weather which might have
taken them to the next largest
settlement at Kolkma River del
ta or even beyond to the Lena
River.
In such an event they would
still be alive and in good con
dition but it would take two
months by dogteam to get in
touch with communication.
