Searchers for Wilkins and His Pilot Fail to Return
At Point Barrow Alaska on April 9 Alger Graham and native guide Nuywagens did not return from a coast patrol seeking Captain George Wilkins and pilot Ben Eielson. Wilkins and Eielson have been stranded northeast of here for nearly two weeks after engine trouble halted their Arctic flight. Gale conditions and shifting ice delay any resupply or search, and Graham’s return is hoped in clearer weather with possible further patrols along the coast.
