If today's flight proves unsuccessful, the navy men will move to Port Simpson, near Prince Rupert, B. C., from where they will continue the hunt. The Renahan party was lost October 28, while flying north to search for Captain E. J. A. Burke and two companions, missing in the Liard river mining district since October 11.
