A month ago half the world held its breath for a week of tense, poignant human mystery drama as a tiny plane w:th two young people vanished In a storm in the rugged mountains out of Princeton. That ended in a week in a happy semi.miracle, a dramatic stage rescue, with th principals' ohty ill effect the fame of a graphic experience. The second mystery is in whim sical relief. Now they can't find the plane Oh, it's the:e al- right. It's bound to be.lt was its sighting which made possible the saving of two lives. But it's much 1'ke the coffee pot that the sai- ior dropped overboard. A thing ean't be lost when you know where it is. And they marked the plane meticulously with bearings. Only it's miles and miles of damn awful and avalanches of snow. It was seen an! couple making camp, with the paratroopers climbing down to them. Quite A Show .Many local rumor$ were then washed up. The tiny plane was seen—by at 3east three separate , reports — over Prnceton flying there are photographs to prove jnto the storm.. It circled as if to it. Only it isn't visible any more.

Certainly they were reached by Saturday morning — a few hours' trek—by a party of loggers from Decra Camp,.led by a U.S. forest ranger. The paratroopers who went down Friday apparently waited for them, and they all rested up before moving out early Sunday. Another ver- s'on says the logging camp was to be the pick-up point, and that is reasonable for a helicopter. Piloted by Lieut. Fred Raumer I the helicopter, from the U.S. Coast Guard Port Angeles base, i had tried in vain to get down to I the stranded couple on the snot Friday. The country was just too tough. From Friday the lost touple were comfortable enough. Just what ther ulan was Is not yet established. They were not moving when spotted on mid-morning Friday, but they Lightning Creek.

Its fPmsy value has been eaten up perhaps a hundred times by the cost of the rescue. It would probably have cost a lot more than its value to get it out. OnTy they naturally bad a try. Especially as it belonged to the B.O. Aero C'ub. Grant, a member, had it on loan. Meanwhile, though public interest was washed up a month ago, the off'cial1 investigation goes inexorably on behind the scenes. The authorities do a great and urgent job when these things do happen. But they don't w.nt them to happen and it is known that all the evidence is be'ng quiet1-}- but carefully gathered and gleaned, and there will be a finding, though the public may never hear—or care—iny more about it. fflb was of course iai big st^lry and an wrgemtt, story, and your planer was on tflne jdb. The ungemicy, p'us an avalanche of other; big news, left'us with a long holdover. You mi3<y agree it M too At Tower's camp, Cambie Creek, Hope Road, it was seen soon after, apparently in trouble. This Is not far from where it crashed. Reports of a plane over both Ooalmont and Tha'ia—suggesting it had tried the Coquihal'a route to dodge the storm—thus proved a false lead. The private Ansco in which Grant's brother Cyril had kept constant vigil narrowly missed making the discovery two days before — with Princeton men Harry Kn-'ghton and Ted Burr aiding the search. They turned up the opposite draw. In nrd-afternoon on the Sunday Princeton was set all a- bustle. They were being brought here. A big Lancaster arr'ved, ambulance equipped, with an R. C.A.F. doctor, Squadron Leader J. H. Presoott, who made all preparations, just in case. Then the U.S. ambhiban Goose Then came a couple of private plan.es, one bearing a screen news camera man.

That alone would send any pitcher sky high and that is just where the unbeaten Summer land ace blew, followed by the rest of the team. Princeton laid it on timely They scored in only three n ngs, but they gathered bunches a hit. And he is even happier over a newcomer, LaChance, who hit one for three, whieh is enough to make George do handsprings, the way his regulars have been going.

When Bob dejectely conveyed to his pal M'GiUicuddy that Pris- cilla was to do a Godiva, the sensitive M'G's poetic sympathy was deeply touched.

The paratroops and the big planes were superfluous and the heicopter not rea'ly necessary. Once they were spotted, they took no harm. The ground party reached them p a few hours, and they were in easy contact with the outside wortld. It was a good exercise. Antd a great story.
