5 Persons Die
When Air Liner
is Forced Down
POINT REYES, Calif.. Nov .29
WP)—Five persons were apparent
Iv drowned when the Seattle to
Oakland, United Air Lines plane
was forced to Lite on the ocean,
because overcast skies hampered
their finding the airport, and were
forced to land when the fuel gave
out.
Pilot Charles Stead and pass
engers Isadore R. Edelstein, aged
fifty one fought their way thru
the pounding surf and evidently
were the only ones saved altho
the pilot said there was a slim
chance that some of the others
might have reached the rocky
shore. Edelstein was very weak
from exposure and had to be
pulled up the cliff by ropes
Four mail sacks were recover
ed, but about four hundred
pounds remain to be rempved
from the craft.
Stead's story follows:
“We landed perfectly safe,
and when the plane came down
we all climbed out on top thru a
hatch in the roof. Tne plane drift
ed several hundred yards in the
darkness, but the others jumped
off one by one. I don’t know
whether they slipped or jumped,
as the water was very rough. The
radio reception was too good, so
many signals were coming in
that it was difficult to pick out
the right ones. The weather was
cloudy and a twenty five mile
south wind was blowing.
There was absolutely no hy
steria. everybody was calm and
when it began to get daylight,
others began despairing. I can’t
tell which ones went first.”
The other passengers aboard
were: S. H. Shonts. of San Jose,
California, formerly a mining
engineer at Wallace, Idaho; I. B.
Hoflebower, a partner in the Kai
ser Company, a San Francisco
bond house; Philip Hart, Presi
dent of the Pacific Bridge Com
pany of Portland; and of the
crew, Lloyd Jones, co-pilot from
Seattle and Fro-. a Cltiy, Oakland
stewardess.
