He will jay that Joe Walsh,, his guide over the desolate snow wastes, was the real hero. But those who know know that there were two heroes Joe Walsh was one and that fine youth the other. Great honors are being prepared for Everett L. Wasson In Vancouver and elsewhere In the south. But a much more momentous thing Is to occur for him than these tributes. His prime purpose In going south at this time is to marry a pretty Vancouver nurse, Miss Florence Jones, whose acquaintance he made a few months ago at Whltehorse where she was carrying on her duties of mercy. Miss Jones, Just resigned from the Whltehorse hospital staff, was also aboard the Princess Norah yesterday afternoon. Another member of the party was Mrs. Bob Martin who waited long anxious weeks at Wrangell for word of he rhusbmnd and then, when she had nigh given up hope, learned that he was safe. The news was almost unbelievable. Mrs. Martin said. She had been rejoined by her husband at Wrangell Tuesday night, the day before they arrived here. Also associated with the Burke episode more or less Indirectly was another passenger aboard the Princess Norah yesterday afternoon in the person of Mrs. W. J. Barrows of Victoria, whose husband was pilot of one of the Pacific International planes which crashed at Telegraph Creek a few weeks ago while en-route north to Join the Burke Thursday, Jan. 15, 1931 Two Principals In Burke Air TragedyMartin and Wasson Here- On Way South Yesterday search. Barrows' plane went through the lee of Sawmill Lake and he had a miraculous escape from drowning. He Is now at White- i horse with his plane, having arrived there from Telegraph Creek about the time Wasson was bringing the Burke party out. Mrs. Burke Coming Out It had been expected that Emil. Hading, Capt. Burke's mechanic, might also have betn coming south VV A 4 ItiVvra llVittli J(.JIV( UUJ IWM but it was learned on arrival of the steamer that, he was still at Atlln and would probably come out in a (few weeks' time in company with i Mrs. Burke, the widow, and her 'small family. Kadlng, a sturdy Ger-jman air mechanic, is reported to have suffered the least of the trio I from that racking experience in the north. Although having lost some twenty pounds before being rescued, Kadlng's resiliency soon restored him to normality after he had been ; brought out. 1 Mrs. Burke is preparing to come j youth to Vancouver as soon as possible. With husband and father : gone, the little family has no fur-ither interest in the north except for icHerithed memories which distance wlM never prevent from reverting to I that small graveyard under the pines at Atlln. There a brave 'gentleman and fond husband and parent rests In his long sleep. And for the mesi of people the Burke epic will gradually become a dim recaWectlon.
