Bay, 20 miles south of Port Townsend, Washington;
"Four men, flying back to Seattle from a salmon-fishing trip to Neah Bay, were injured late yesterday afternoon when their plane crashed in a forced landing at Ludlow Bay, 20 miles south of Port Townsend. Three of the injured fishermen were from Seattle, including Kenneth R. Palmer, of 125 N. 85th St., 26 years old, the pilot. The two Seattle passengers were Sam Crooks, 39, of 7357 Alonzo St., and Arthur N. Walker, 29, of 1033 Palatine Av. Both men suffered cuts and bruises. The fourth fisherman, Don McPherson, 26, of Newcastle, Colo., suffered a leg fracture in the crash. The plane sank quickly after the crash and a Coast Guard auxiliary boat commanded by Harry Campbell of Port Townsend rescued the men from the water."
