the top of the ridge. They were

Frank Maggie of Associated Press
The impact of the plane had
cleared the brush over an area OF
several hundred square feet. The
tail was still standing, but was
badly charred. My first realization
that I was getting to the wreckage
was finding three bodies covered
with blankets in the thicket. They
had been thrown far ahead OF the
plane.
The first person to view the
wreckage from the ground was a
boy who works for the Appalachian
Trails Office, who reached the scene
at pm.
He went back to the trail along
the top of the ridge AND informed
Capital Airlines and Civil Aero
nautics Administration men whom
he met there that he had located
the wrecked airliner. The boy had
been guided through the thickets to
the spot by the circling of small
cub plane.
More Horrible Than Texas Blast.
The word had been passed that
discovery of the plane would be
marked by the shooting of a pistol,
but the CAA men and the airline
people were content to 60 ahead
with their work without letting it
be known that the plane had been
located. When I arrived, several of
the bodies thrown clear, mercifully
had been covered with blankets.
But charred and dismenbered
bodies in the center of the wreck
age still were uncovered. 1t was a
more horrible sight than anything
produced by the Texas City ex-
plosion, which covered. .
Where an engine and the front OF
the fuselage had burned together
bodies were apparently completely
cremated. AL about the plane were
scattered shoes and handbags and
briefcases. There was an open va
lise with a gift-wrapped package
in 1t. There was a pair of child's
rubber panties and there was q

was, arrived at Chicago Airport
where we had to wait several hours
for a plane"
Bodies Being Removed.
About the Scared area the noun
tain laurel was at the height of its
bloom. Below, the floor of the Shen-
andoah Valley stretched away in
green and freshly plowed fields, a
plain 80 miles wide made famous by
Stonewall Jackson and Phil Sheri-
dan, whose men swept north and
south below this spot. The pilot
of the C-54 had spoken to Martins
burg at 7:13 pm. EDIT Friday. The
plane had sped toward Washing
ton for about two minutes, then
it hit this mountain wall. 1t lacked
about 200 feet of clearing it.
Tonight this is being written in
Leesburg as men are bringing down
the bodies under almost insurmount-
able difficulties. Axes have cleared
a trail through the thicket, but the
bodies have to be carried over mas
sive rock formations, slippery with
lichen to reach the trail at the
crest of the ridge.

palachian Trail to a point where
they could be shifted to jeeps and
borne another four miles over a
trail that nothing less durable than
a jeep could traverse.
At Sunny Ridge School, near
Route 7, the bodies were transferred
to ambulances and borne to the lit
tie stone chapel in Leesburg Union
Cemetery, now an improvised
morgue.
James p Henry, vice president of
the airline's southern division, said
about nine other bodies would be
brought out during the night before
the bulldozer hewed out road to
expedite the work.
Cemetery Gates Locked.
The cemetery gates were locked,
barring all but relatives, newspaper
men and those concerned with iden-
tification of the dead.
1t was 18 hours from the time the
giant Washington-bound transport
dug into the mountainside before
the nrSt OF the muddy, weary
searchers reached the hulk about
18 miles due west of Leesburg and
seven miles southeast of Charles

Fire Threatens TO Capsize
brifain's Newest Liner
By the Assoeioied Press

BIRKENHEAD. Eng, Jan. A.
Firemen and dock workers battled
tonight the twin menaces of flames
and a threatened capsizing of the
$4,000,0 900 steamship Corinthic, Brit
aims newest liner.
Fire broke out in the hold of the
15,000-ton vessel at S am. With the
blaze nearly out, orders were given
to shut off fire hoses pouring tons
of water, or to divert them to other
parts of the ship to equalize the load.
Listing caused by the water
reached as much as 20 degrees, and
firemen feared the vessel would cap
size. There was no estimate of the
damage caused thus far.
Launched in May, 1946, the ship
was to have begun carrying passen-
gers and cargo in the New Zealand
trade within two months.
