LOSS OF AIRLINER
FUNERAL OF FIVE VICTIMS United Press Association—By Telegraph— Convrlgbt BRISBANE, March 4. In torrential rain, which made it difficult for the 24 persons present to keep their feet on the steep mountain slope, the remains of the two pilots and two passengers killed in the Stinson crash, were buried near the wreck. The service embraced the fifth victim, Westray, whose body still lay in the gorge below. A sister Stinson circled overhead, and dropped wreaths through the clouds and rain. A police party went to the spot where Westray was killed, and upon their return expressed the opinion that it would be too dangerous to attempt to carry the body down, and that It will probably have to be buried where it is.
