 Nanuk, then South ]


 The body of Col. Carl Ben Eielson was found yesterday 200 feet from the wrecked plane, about 90 miles from North Cape, Siberia, accord ing to Associated Press ad- vices received by The Empire today and thus the last chap ter has been written in the story of the two fliers, Col. Eielson, and his mechanic, Earl Borland, who left Teller, Alaska, on November 9 of last year, on a second trip to the froze n schooner Nanuk, for furs and passen- gers, and who crashed on the afternoon or evening of No yember , III a fog. Earl B0rland's body was found last week near the en- zine of the wrecked plane, a considerable distance from the fuselage in five feet of sn0w.
 Pilot Joe Crosson sent the radio from the schooner Ma nuk announcing tn at Col. Eielson's body h a d b e en found and adding that he had been killed instantly in the crash.
 Col. Eielson's body was found on a slight mound 200 feet from the fuselage and about 150 feet from where Borland's body was uncov- cred from the snow by the eighteen searchers.
 There was only slight covering of snow over Eielson's body, the winds having almost swept it bare.
 To Take Bodies to Nanuk
 The bodies of Eielson and Bor- land were placed in a Junkers plane by Soviet Pilot Slipenov, who has been in charge of the searching operations at the scene of the wrecked plane. Pilot Slipe- nov flew to the Nanuk yesterday and announced the finding of Col. Eielson's body He was scheduled to return to the scene of the wreck today with additional gasoline and take the bodies out to the Nanuk.
 Pilot Slipenov has asked per mission to go to Fairbanks with the bodies.
 According to the Associated Press radiogram sent by Pilot Crosson, it is planned to take the bodies of the two fliers from the Nanuk to Nome and thence to Fairbanks.
 Ole Eielson, father of Col. Eiel- son, is now at Fairbanks, await ing the arrival of the remains of his son. He went north two weeks ago.
 Mrs. Borland, widow of Earl, is also in Fairbanks, where she has resided with her children for sev- eral years.
 Funeral Plans
 Previous dispatches indicated that the remains of Col Eielson will be taken to Hatton, North Dakota, for interment beside his mother, and the body of Borland will prob- ably be inferred in Seattle, where his father, mother and sister re- side.
 The finding of the body of Col. Fielson has ended one of the great est air mysteries of the American continent. Following the disappear- ance of the two fliers, severe wealth CT prevented any search for weeks. Pliers of the Alaska Airways, In- corporated. were held up at Fair banks, Nome and Teller by storms and were unable to fly to the Ma nuk to start search for many weeks. Canadian fliers sent to the Interior were also delayed for sev- eral weeks with their big Fair child airplanes by bad weather.
 The Soviet Government joined in the search and fliers and dogteams were sent out. These parties were also handicapped by severe weather and delayed by storms.
