i. McNARY, Ariz. April 8.-Biers of

eight charred bodies by shivering men
who stood guard all night on the
mountainside where luxurious 21-

snow and burned.
Undertakers began the task of load
Ing the victims, two women and six
men, on sleds and bringing them
out-a tortuous 7-mile journey over
steep hills, down snow-clogged ravines
and across roaring streams which
caused half of a searching party of
40 to drop exhausted.
c. G. Cole, an official of the Douglas
Aircraft Corp, which built the plane,
said the removal could not be COM

require two days
The sight of twisted metal and
death which greeted the searchers
and the ordeals they underwent on
the way were described by Jack Letter,
member of the party.

There we stumbled upon fragments

area. The battered nose and burned
cabin of the plane were buried feet
deep in the snoW-a grave eaten into
the frozen mass by fire

the pilots and co-pilot's bodies re-

others, charred beyond recognition,

"A heap of almost unharmed bag
gage sprawled across the drifts of
snow. 1t was the only thing there that
was not debris.
One of the 40-foot wings lay crum-
pied and torn from the hull. A few
yards up the hill the other lay twisted
like broken tin horn.

nearby tree, hung precariously over

There were 20 who failed to stand

to proceed. they halted, appealed for
help and sought the few patches of
ground bare of snow. Quickly we who
made our way back sent out food,
water, few blankets and some
matches to beleaguered comrades.
Earlier in the day many of the
searchers couldn't stand the almost
perpendicular 1,000-foot climb up the
mountainside on which the wreckage
lay. Even the most hardy slumped
into the drifts.
After inspecting the wreckage, we
wearily turned back-except for those
who must remain.

were three girls-one wearing slippers
