T! Delegates to the national Service Star Legion convention were divided into two camps today over the patriotism or radicalism of Ur. L. L. Wirt, ot San Francisco. The Utah division of the legion headed by Mrs. J. VV. Cheny. led a move to bar Dr. Wirt from the convention platforn, on the CHICOUTIMI, Quebec, June, 1 7(P) Hope for the safety of Nungesser and Coli, missing French aviators, rested' today a trappers story that an unseen airplane had droned out of hearing behind a storm swept mountain alons the St. Marguerite river the night of May 9, the day the fliers were expected in New YcJrk. The story, told by Gnorges Rousseau, 50 years old, who returned from his trap lines in Bersimis, created new interest in the theory that the aviators may have been forced down in the woodless silence of the northern province. I had injured my leg said Rousseau, and could not go a step farther, so I resigned myself to camping for the night on the banks of the St. Marguerite. Towards 7 oclock in the evening the wind blew up into a gale and the snow began to fall. It was one of the worst storms we have had in' this district. Suddenly I heard the noise 6f an airplane. It was a bad night and it was difficult lor Another me- to see anything. reason .why I couldnt see it Was because there is a mountain extending up from the river, hiding, the airplane froinview. The plane passed on thje other side of ithe mountain, At least two miles from me. If the airplane had continued on its route, Rousseau said, it might have become lost in the Peribonks 'district. The reseldgion, densely forested, in om visited by hunters, anti , is sparcely populated by Indians. Rousseau expressed doubt that any one could be located in the district by airplane.

The schooner drifted off its course and the crew spfent day and night sending up fruitless signals of distress. The body of the captain was permitted to remain in the cabin and the superstitious sailors gave it a wide berth. Some argued the vessel would never get anywhere with a dead man below the decks, but no one volunteered to preside at a sea burial. Fear soon followed superstition.
