"Corner Brook Western Star (Newspaper)
Corner Brook, Newfoundland
Wednesday June 29 1932

Fishermen find plane wreckage believed to be that of plane piloted by Arthur Sullivan of St. Johns, Newfoundland.

Bits of aeroplane wreckage believed to be the first indication of the fate of pilot Arthur Sullivan and Dr. Karl Kuehnert were being carried to St. Johns tonight from Cape Norman where they were found by fishermen. A Sullivan and Kuehnert left St. Anthony the night of May 30, on a short pleasure flight. Their Gypsy Moth plane was seen high over Cape St. Anthony. Fog rolled over the Coast, darkness shut down and it was seen no more.

A search of the Northern Peninsula by plane failed to reveal any trace of them and a Fleet of coastal vessels found nothing. Nothing definite could be Learned from the Brief message received today from Cape Norman but it is believed the wreckage will be identified when it arrives here. Mrs. S. Sullivan Mother of the missing flier who was a passenger in a Canadian airways seaplane during the search is back at her home in St. Johns. Dr. Kuehnert was a dentist attached to the Grenfell Mission at St. Anthony"

The search for the two persons aboard Moth CF-AGL was called off on June 7 1932, with no sightings of the aircraft or of any wreckage. Cape Norman Bay is a natural bay near Cape Norman, off the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
