Captain Sessions spent five hours in the plane Saturday afternoon, piloted by Wynne Ferrin, crack Ogden flier. The plane flying low over Provo on several occasions, attracted a lot of attention from the busy Christmas shopping throngs on the streets. The two black patches, readily discernible at the 9500 foot levels were seen by Captain Sessions near the head of k small box canyon in the vicinity of Provo peak. From the large patch to the small one, about 220 yards away; there seemed to be a beaten path, connecting the two, Cap. tain Sessions said. The smaller of the two patches appeared to be about 20 feet in diameter as near as could be estimated from the height the plane was flying. ' The theory advanced by Captain Sessions was that the larger of the two patches is the wreckage of the airliner, while the second patch marks the spot where a possible sur-, vivor of the crash kindled a signal fire to attract attention; from the people in the valley. ; Although Ferrin brought the plane back a number of times directly over the two black spots, the two men were unable to fly close enough to pick out any details looking like the wreckage of an airliner. Returning to the airport, to report their discovery, Ferrin Fer-rin and Sessions made a second trip to the Slate canyon area, this time accompanied by Brent Jennings, experienced ski runner, who was given an opportunity to familiarize himself with the terrain near the black patches, to enable him to lead a ski party up the canyon Sunday morning to investigate the possibility of the patches being the burned wreckage of the ill-fated airliner which disappeared in the storm after reporting report-ing all was well over Milford, Utah. Captain Sessions will go up in' Ferrin's Waco cabin plane, again Sunday morning at 9:30 to guide the ground crews, one of which will go up Slate canyon and the other up Pole Haven from Hobble creek canyon.
