 Search for Macdonald had con- tinued unabated by plane and sur face craft since it was first re- ported that he had not arrived at the logging camp from here two weeks ago today. Five or six sur face craft, mainly from Sitka, were engaged in the search that secured every foot of the 50-mile shore line between here and Hoonah Sound.
 During the few days following MacDonald's departure, severe storms prevailed in the vicinity in which. apparently the 90 hp. craft was lost.
 Macdonald had been logging for the Sitka branch of the Columbia Lumber Company for the last three years and frequently used his speed boat to make business trips to the Baranof Island community He is well known throughout Southeast Alaska and had been engaged in logging in various parts of this section for many years.
