(/P) -- Three more dog teams left the Nanuk, fur trading ship icebound at North Cape, Siberia, today to search for Pilot Carl Ben Eielson, who became lost about 12 days ago while .ting- a second trip by air to the imprisoned vessel. from the ship was expected by Olaf Swenson, who is aboard the ship, to reach the vicinity today where Eielson was last seen by a party of natives. A report from this first party could not be expected for some time, as the distance was approximately 60 miles. Word was received today by the Nome Nugget that the Russian fur trader who heard the motor of Eiel- son's plane several days ago but could not see the craft on account of the fog believed that Eielson was moving inland at the time he heard him. He said there was a mountain about 10 miles back from the coast at that point.
