KILLED IN NEW GUINEA
AMERICAN SOUTH SEA VOYAGER.
(Special Australian Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) SYDNEY. This Day. Lieutenant Bruce Fahnestock, aged 31, the elder of two wealthy adverturing American brothers, was killed last Sunday in New Guinea at the same time as Byron Darnton, the “New York Times” war correspondent, lost his life. Lieutenant Fahnestock’s brother, Captain Sheridan Fahnestock, is stationed in Australia.
The two brothers sailed their threemasted auxiliary schooner Director II into the South Seas in 1939. With a party of seventeen scientists, they were collecting rare Pacific birds and recording primitive native music for the Helen Fahnestock Hubbard foundation in New York. The brothers had made two earlier trips through the Pacific islands.
