Fears regarding the fate of Canadian air pilots R. I. Van Der Byl and W. A. Joerss and air engineer Emil Kading, who disappeared mysteriously February 25, after leaving Telegraph Creek enroute to Vancouver in the salvaged plane of the late Capt. E. J. A. Burke, were set at rest Friday when the missing airmen arrived at Ft. James, 60 miles north of Vanderhoof, according to a special dispatch received by the Stewart News too late for publication in the current weekly edition of that journal.
The flyers, the message said, had been compelled to abandon the ill-fated Burke plane at Buckly House, near the north end of Takla Lake, as a result of a broken engine cylinder.
Unable to proceed farther in the plane, the men, one of whom, Emil Kading, was with Capt. Burke at the time of the unfortunate accident in the Atlin section which resulted in the latter losing his life, were compelled to mush out from Buckly House.
