crash scene at daylight. 1t is an
11-mile trip up from Good Springs.
at the mountains base. Trails are
few.
Five Bodies Recognizable.
G. c. Buck" Blaine, field worker
foreman at Boulder Dam and for
mer cowboy, gave this account OF
his trip to the wreckage:
Il got within one-half mile Of
the wreckage with my horse.
The snow was up to the animals
belly and she could 90 no farther.
So I tied her to a tree and started
climbing the red rock. 1t was
straight up about so feet.
TT appeared that the plane had
needed either $50 or 275 feet more
altitude to clear the mountain.
The nose had hit the precipice and
had skidded around in a narrow
ravine until the tail had also hit
the cliff. The occupants were
thrown out on the left hand side
of the plane and were scattered for
$50 feet --~-
Recognizable were the bodies
of a lieutenant, a sergeant. an en-
listed man, T. w. A. employe and
a woman. The plane had burned
and molten aluminium had dripped
over the rocks for 25 or 80 feet.
Luggage Strewn Afar.
Luggage and other equipment
were strewn for 500 to 600 feet.
The snow is about three feet deep
on the north side OF the mountain
where the plane is located.
1T will be necessary to carry the
bodies IA or miles on sleds, or
for the possemen to carry them
until they can reach the point
where they can leave horses. From
there it will be about two miles to
the place where the cars can be
left.
The location of the wreckage
is in the saddle of an almost preci-
pittous mountain. Rescuers must
zig-zag to make path so that. ON
cials can walk up to the scene. It
probably will take from daylight
until noon tomorrow to beat a path
and reach the bodies"
