EIELSON LOST AGAIN
MISSING IN ALASKAN WASTES
SERIOUS FEARS FELT Reed. 1 p.m. VANCOUVER, Wed. A message from Nome, Alaska, says that Lieutenant Carl B. Eielson, and a mechanic named Borland, have been lost for a fortnight, and all efforts to locate them have failed. Pilot Dorbandt and Eielson recently made two trips to the steamer Nanuk, which is icebound at the North Cape. Siberia, and brought to Nome furs worth a fortune. Eielson became lost on the third trip. There are serious fears that he has starved or has been frozen to death, though always there is a possibility that the intrepid northerner is hibernating with an Eskimo somewhere during the remainder of the winter.
Eielson won fame when he flew with Sir Hubert Wilkins over the North Pole.
