Experts Guess Mattern's Fate After Flight

Soviet frontier guards and northern ships remained on alert as weather data suggested a non landing on Okhotsk shores. If he landed on a remote North Russian island he could survive with rifle cartridges and fishing gear until news could reach the outside world.
