Summary:Abandon Search For Lost Flyers. ABANDON SEARCH FOR LOST FLYERS KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 29. (/P) —After flying 13,875 miles over territory near here in a search for wreckage from the Renahan plane, and its occupants, Pilot Anscel Eckmann left today for Seattle by way of Prince Rupert, B. C, definitely abandoning the hunt. Parts of the fuselage and two wheels have been found, but the bodies of Pilot Robin Renahan, Samuel J. Clerf, Seattle mining man, and Frank Hatcher, mechanic, have not been located. The triangular area between Hyder, Kasaan Bay and Prince Rupert has been carefully combed both from the air and by boats along shore, under Eckmarm's direction, but without result.
