TWO MISSING AIRMEN FOUND
 BY R. E. ELLIS
Gorst Plane Forced Down Broken Up-Scott and
 Sleby Located on Beach

Pilot Clayton L. Scott and me, chanic John Sleby were rescued from the beach at Icy Bay, on the coast between Katalla and Yaku- tat, Sunday morning by Pilot R. E. Ellis. in the Alaska Washington Airways seaplane Taku, which left Juneau Sunday morning at 5:30 o'clock.
 Scott and Sleby were in a Gorst plane and were forced down with engine trouble at o'clock last Thursday afternoon while on a flight from Cordova, where they had gone on a transforming trip to Ketchikan, the headquarters.
 The two fliers landed on the Gulf of Alaska. then taxied through the ice choked waters to the beach. Their efforts to save the plane failed, as the wind and waves broke 1t up.
 Neither Scott nor Sleby were in- jured and arrived at Cordova on the Taku with Ellis shortly after noon Sunday.
 Last Saturday report was re- ceived in Juneau that Scott was missing as no report had been re- ceived from him since he left Cor dova Thursday afternoon.
 All radio stations in Southeast Alaska were asked for information, but none reported having sighted Itbe plane. The station at Yalu,- tat reported no plane had been seen from there and 1t was believed that Scott had been forced down between Katalla and Yakutat.
 Late Saturday night. A. B. Hayes, in charge of the Alaska Division of the Alaska Washington Airways, received request from the Gorst headquarters in Seattle. asking him to send seaplane out on search. Sunday morning, at 5:30 o'clock, Pilot Robert E. Ellis took off for the westward with the seaplane Taku. and several hours later found Scott and his mechanic.
 Arrived Just in Time
 In message to Mrs. Ellis, Pilot Ellis said he found Scott and Sleby by the shore of a lagoon lined with fec bergs. and he made a thrilling take-off directly into . fog bank. Our arrival was timely and just right to avoid a drifting fog bank and ice. Scott and 5leby were in deserted cabin. subsisting on beans and rice" further said Ellis.
 Goes to Westward
 Pilot Ellis is to leave Cordova today. according to MT. Hayes. for Iliamna where he will pick up Henry OMalley. Fisheries Commis- sioner, and his party, and take them to Nakenn.
