GILLAM IN FOG WHEN
 HE CRASHED
Woman Passenger Suffer. ed Intense Agony Be-
 fore Hand Amputdted

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. A. Pilot Harold Gillian circled over the landing field, his destination near Ketchikan on the late afternoon of January 5, but was prevented from landing by the fog and he turned southeastward, apparently intend ing to make a forced landing on the wide beach at Smeaton Bay according to report issued by the Coast Guard this afternoon.
 While circling over Smeaton Bay the Gillian plane, in a fog, crashed into the mountain, the impact hurling one unidentified passenger 50 feet from the plane.
 Dazed, he wandered three days before again finding the party at the plane.
 Miss Susan Batzer had her hand caught in the door of the plane and orouched beside the plane three days, not complaining, although suffering intense agony.
 The men fed her and washed her and finally decided they must ann putate her hand. She died the sec end day after the amputation
 One of the survivors told the Coast Guard that Susan didn't say word during the operation She was the bravest person I ever have seen"

but was not seen later. The plane was well stocked with provisions on which the survivors have apparently been living.
 It is not likely search party will reach where Metzdorf and Ge- bo were last seen until some time today
 It is not clear whether the girl died in the crash or later.
 Long Missing Pilot Gillian and passengers in his plane have been missing since January and were long ago given up for lost because of severe weather conditions and inability of long continued search by air and to find any previous trace of those on the plane or the plane itself.
 i Pilot Gillian left Seattle on the afternoon of January in the Nor rison- -Knudsen Lockheed Electra transport wheel plane, bound for Alaska via the inside passage The plane was last heard from at about 5:30 pm, January 5, when Gillian notified Annette Island that he was approximately 100 miles south of Annette and developing motor trouble.
 Gebo is general superintendent of the Morrison-K -Knudsen Company in Alaska.
 Metzdorf is superintendent of ho- tels and commissaries of the Alas ka Railroad, owner of the Anchor age Hotel and Anchorage civic leader.
 Tippits, of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, is of the mechanical maintenance unit at Anchorage
 Cutting is a mechanic of the Morrison -Knudsen Company in AL aska and was returning from a holiday trip to his home in Cali Afornia.
 Gillian is one of the veteran air men of Alaska and for two years has been flying the Morrison Knudsen planes.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-02-04

Plane pilots after scanning the beaches thoroughly said they would attempt an aerial survey of the densely timbered peninsula, but they expressed the belief that Ii Gillian did not get to the beach it will take a land party to find him.
 Pilot Ray Renshaw, of the Game Commissions plane, accompanied by one of the survivors is to drop food and medicine if he succeeds in locating Metzdorf and Gebo.
 Where the Gillian plane crashed is studded with mountains rang ing from 2,300 to 2,8O0 feet.
 The airline distance from Ketch- ikan to the Boca de Quadra pen insula is B miles.
 It is now stated that Miss Batzer died from loss of blood after her companions were forced to ampu- tate her hand to release her from eilS "iSShaSS' lO lo uioCiOoCu Cildo the girl was thrown against the door of the plane in the crash, and her right hand was caught when the door damned against the cab in. She lived only a short time af- ter amputation. The survivors said they were unable to staunch the flow of blood
 Three planes and two surface craft are in today's search.

Port Gabes and enemy posltlons near Maknassy, and for one or the few times since the start ol the fight in Tunisia, lost more planes than they shot down, the communique said.
 Six Axis planes were destroyed and eight Allied planes were re- ported missing, while strong Ger man forces apparently still held the important Faid Pass on the cen tral Tunisian front.

TWO SURVIVORS ARE
 IN SEARCHING PARTY

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. A. Guided by two weary but deter mined plane crash survivors Percy Cutting and Joseph Tippits, who left their sick bay to aid in the search for their three companions who may still be alive in the wild erness. Coast Guard and Game Commission planes are this morn ing combing the mountain fastness- es Of Boca de Quadra Peninsula for Gebo and Metzdorf and Gillian, the latter believed possibly alive, along one of the numerous inden- tations, where Gepo and Metzdorf were last seen week ago seven miles inland.
 Cutting and Tippits, were refresh ed by their nights sleep but still weak. They were taken as "spotters" by plane pilots to help in the search while the Coast Guard party, which reached the area earlier started from the shore to climb the moun- tain trail.

 fer Gillian. while the Forest Ser vice plane will drop supplies to Gebo and Matzdorf at the wrecked plane which still contains the body Of the girl
 The Coast Guard party from the rescue plane meanwhile is hiking overland to the plane.
 Cutting and Tippits stayed with Gebo and Metzdorf at the plane until a week ago when they struck cut to seek help They crossed and recrossed the peninsula, and lived on mussels and clans from the beach and some crows they stoned in the forest.
 Gebo and Metzdorf had only tiny rations left altogether.
 Injuries Suffered
 Gebo suffered a broken right leg, and both of his feet were exceed ingly black" and presumably fro zen. the survivors told the inter viewing officer.
 Metzdorf suffered broken col lar bone and several broken ribs. The survivors told the officer the plane simply ran out of gas and Gillian made what, under the cir cumstances, was a miraculous land ing on a mountainside.
 Then followed an epic of endur- ance which saw the worst storm in 20 years lash the border area.
