Meanwhile, an unceasinx search
continues for Major Frederick j..
Martin, commander Of the flight,
who disappeared with his mechanic,
Sergt. Alva Harvey. a week ago
today.
Search has been completed on the
Boring sea side OF the Aleutian
peninsula from False Pass 20 Port
Hidden, without result.
Reports from trappers in many
isolated districts north of Chignak
continues to be received, indicating
that Major Martin, when he left
Chignak last Wednesday, flew to-
ward Boring Sea.
These reports serve to revive hope
that the sea search now being
made to the north and east Of CHG
max will eventually bear fruit.
Hope is expressed that Major Mar
tin and his aide may have found
shelter with some trappers or with
native indians in an isolated spot.
Land searching parties are being
continued, although little hope is
held out that they will prove sue
cessful in the hunt.
The flyers at Atka under com:
mand Of Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith
are anxious to get away and with
the first favorable flying weather
will jump to Chicagoff.
Weather reports are being re.

Ghecheff had lived in the United

to take his wife back with him to
America. He found, however. that
his wife had transferred her affec-

he spent three years trying to win
her back, she refused to return to
him. Furthermore, she refused TO
refund the $4,000 he had sent her
from America.
Ghecheff appealed to the American

money back and also for a passport
80 he could return to America and
forget his unhappiness in Bulgaria.
He was told that nothing could be
done about recovering the money and
that he could not have a passport
now because Bulgaria's quota for
