Randall Dares Skies' Threats: Hops From Aklavik To Seek Russ Flyers -- Other Pilots Wait. RANDALL DARES SKIES' THREATS Hops From Aklavik to Seek Russ Flyers—Other Pilots Wait. BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 17. (/P) —Wireless messages received here said Bob Randall, Canadian pilot, braved doubtful weather and took off in a Russian chartered plane from Aklavik, N. W. T., to search for the lost soviet transpolar plane. Randall, the messages said, swept along the arctic coast in his hunt for Pilot Sigismund Levaneffsky and five companions, missing since Friday, and landed at Demarcation point on the Alaska-Canadian boundary and at Herschel island to the eastward. The pilot said he intended to question natives as to whether they had seen or heard a plane in the vicinity last Friday night.
