INTO THE SOUND
WITH SIX PEOPLE
PORT ANGELES, Aug. 2$ (JP)_
Information has been received indi
cating that a. plane of the British
Columbia Airway Co., carrying six
persons plunged into . Washington
Harbor 30 miles south of liens while
on way from Victoria to Seattle.
A fisherman, whose name has not
been learned, reports that a large
monoplane passed over his head and
circled back again so close that M
.'eared they were going to crash h's
boat. The airship dropped into the
bay several hundred yards away and
by the time he could row there a'l
traces of hte ship and its occupant
were sunk. The tragedy happened
200 yards off Gjinderson’s Spit but
seaicking parties in launches have
failed to get any clue.
The fisherman’s story is given
credence because it is backed up by
Mrs. Austin Bugge, wife of a cannery
operator of Washington Harbor who
hea'Q a plane circling over the har
bor many times as though in distress.
Those aboard the plane were Alex
ander Scott. English barrister, and
member of the British Parliament
from Glasgow; Mrs. Scott; Thomas
Lake, far Eastern representative sf
the Union Oil Co., of California; Dr.
D. D Holden, Vio’^iua physician;
Harold Walker, Peat.it a.tr wall pi!it
and I. Caron, assistant pilot of Vic
toria.
SEATTLE, Aug. 28. (JP)—It is pos
sible that seven persons instead of

Victoria-Seatt'-e plane vanished. Ad.
vices from Victoria said F. D. Sover
al of East Change, N. J.,had bought
a. ticket and made a last minute
boarding as the plane was ready to
take.oif. Every square mile of land
on which the plane might have
crashed has beisn covered by search
ers. The conviction grows that the
1 lane must have plunged into the
Sound. Pilot Sand with a companion
who has bsen scouting over the ter
itory looking for the lost ship dived
into the emergency field near Wash,
lug ton Harbor breaking tbe propel
le. Neither man was injur’d.
