Summary:Pilots Brave Storms Of Arctic Seeking Quartet Lost In Plane. Pilots Brave Storms of Arctic Seeking Quartet Lost in Plane FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 19. (/P) —Airplanes, awaiting a break in the stormy weather, were to take off again today in the almost ceaseless search under way since Pilot Arthur Hines and three passengers disappeared August 19 on a flight here from Dawson, Y. T. Storms kept the searching planes grounded yesterday and airmen fear the early season snows may come and obliterate all traces of the plane and party before they can be found. It was just a month ago today that Hines' plane, carrying Mr. and Mrs. John F. Lonz and Alton Nordale, all of Fairbanks, was last reported in the Chicken, Alaska, section. Lonz's sister, Mrs. E. L. Dlsel of Toledo, Ohio, arrived yeterday, hoping she might aid in the search. She was met by Mayor E. B. Collins and Mrs. Chester Murphy, a friend of Mrs. Disel, when she alighted from an airplane which met her steamship at Juneau.
