Aviators Probe Rumor Of Crash. AVIATORS PROBE RUMOR OF CRASH. KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec, 3. (/P) -- Two United States navy flyers and the cutter Cygan were to leave here early today for Gravina island, 15 miles northwest of here, where reports said a plane crashed about a month ago, in a final search from this base for Pilot Robin Renahan and two companions. 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.
