MAY Have Hit Mountain.

A
PONTA DEL GADA, May 19-Naval
officers believed the N CO might have
hit Pico, mountain more than mile
high, which rises up steepiy from the
sea.
The systematic search continued
around the shores Of that island.
The rescue OF the crew Of the N Gil
was thrilling, according to DECLARE
tions of those who were there. The
disabled machine was found drifting
in the fog 100 miles northwest OF
Fayal Small boats from the Iowa
went along side in the high seas and
removed the men, under the severest
handicap, the waves continually
drenching all hands with spray and
threatening to swamp the lifeboats.
Later the tow line between the plane
and the vessel parted; some of the
crew going back on the N CT to
secure new line. Bellinger and his
men were finally taken into Horta and
put on the Columbia The u. s. s..
Harding later took the plane in tow,
but it was reported afterward that It

aged to keep afloat in the rough sea.

cruisers joining the destroyers in
their hunt for the crippled Nancy and
the men who are clinging to it. Those

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The NC-4
has been ordered to join the search
for Commander Towers and the lost
NC-3, the navy department was Off
cially advised today.
All destroyers available west Of
Ponta Del Gada also have been order
ed to join in the organization search
The orders mean abandonment-at
least temrorarily--of the trans-Atlan-
tic flight, It was stated here.
Prospects OF clearing weather, how
ever, held out hope for Commander
Towers and his crew. All means at
the navy's command were being en-
ployed in the search for the missing
NC-3. P/ttleships and destroyers con-
tinued their combing of the vicinity in
which the NC~3 was last reported 1t

by now by some vessel.
Meanwhile Mrs. Towers, after a
night of anxious Watching at her home
heroical1y declared she had not given
up hope. She said:
"Of course ! am. dreadfully wor-
ried But know he's all right He,

there is to 1t. He's had some trouble
OF some kind, but he will Overcome

tion with the flight. Although issued at New York a month prior to the ac- tual start of the hazardous journey, the details of the order have been fol- lowed without any least trouble.
 The route which the seaplanes are to take to the Azores is marked by a ribbon of destroyers stationed about 50 miles apart, These vessels have been on their stations for sev- eral days and have kept the depart ments here and the naval officials at Trepassey Bay constantly informed as to meteorotrigal conditions along the course.
 In addition to the destroyers tour battleships, the Florida, Utah Texas and Wyoming have been stationed on the outskirts of the course to furnish further meterotogrical data through out the flight.
 The seaplanes are in constant com municatioh with the naval vessels at all times. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the fliers.

PLANES AMPLY sAFEouARDED

- WASHINGTON, May 17.-Coinci- dent with the start from Trepassey bay, N. F., today of the American navy seaplanes in an effort to make the first transatlantic air passages, the navy department made public an order issued April 15, which governs the ac- tion of every aircraft and naval ves- sels connected with the long flight and provides against almost every pos sible emergency which may arise dur ing the aerial voyage. The order con tains more than 20OO words and is one of the most comprehensive ever issued by the department
 When the plane for the trans-At- lantic flight was first conceived the task of safeguarding the seaplanes and of obtaining meterortrial data neces- sary to the venture was placed in the hands of the commander of the de- strOyer force. The order, which was made public today, thus. was issued by Captain Harris Laning, chief of staff, destroyers force.
 The order provides for the station. in gand subsequent movements of 60 destroyers four battleships and a mum. Der of other naval vessels in connec-

his brother officers will take any ac- ton that might by any chance imperil that enterprise. Too much effort and expense has been lavished upon this effort, officers said, to permit ques- tions of sentiment to endanger it.
 The only disturbing feature of the delay to the NC-3 is the silence of Towers boat after the message say ing she was off her course between station ship 17 and IS, at 5:15 a. m., Washington time. Officers believed however, that limited communication by radio while on the surface and pos sibly failure to send or to catch an sos when a landing was decided upon accounted for this lack of infor. nation as to the NC-3's situation

Something for Dempsey to Look Out for

Jess Willard doesn't boast of his knockout punches. He just believes he is so big and powerful that no ordi- nary man can stand up before him any great length of time.
 He confidently expects to dispose of Jack Dempsey, challenger, and then go right on with his business until an- other challenger is developed
 He has met Jack Dempsey and he likes the looks of the youngster who is to meet him for the championship July 4.
 Hes a likeable looking boy" said Jess.
 But outside of taking one good look at Dempsey when the two met recent ly in Chicago, Jess hasn't worried over his rival for heavyweight honors. He turned a deaf ear on an invitation to stop of fat Kansas City, en route to California, and sit at the ringside while Dempsey boxed an exhibition.
 The only time he has seen him box was in a Chicago gymnasium. where Jack was imbering up for the edifica- tion of the Chicago sport fans and writers.
 Jess started boxing late in life and he's not worn out. He hasn't fought many battles and still figures him. self in his prime.
 He has no idea of giving up the title and that means he has no idea of be- ing whipped by Dempsey.
 "What'll you use on Dempsey" he was asked
 Everything I've got" he said, and that means a right upper cut, a left iab. 24O pounds of super physique and indomitable spirit

Commander Bellinger was caught with land almost under his eyes, but Commander Towers was bIanketed well out to sea, showing the speed with which the fog bank spread.
 Naval officers were somewhat in doubt as to Commander Reeds plans for continuing the flight to Lisbon. One message from the Columbia at Horta said the NC-4 would not attempt to proceed to Ponta Delgada until tomorrow. A later report from, the latter place, however, said the weath- ed was clearing shortly after noon and Commander Reed may have decided to push on. A delay of five or six hours in transmission of cable messages from the Azores left the situation there in doubt
 Eager for Lisbon Start
 It was generally believed that Com mander Reed would start for Lisbon at his earliest opportunity. Horta to Lis bon direct would add 15O miles to the journey, making it possible that the airship would be forced to make a landing after dark should it attempt to catch up tomorrow.
 There is also a possibility that Reed would delay as long as possible to let his companions rejoin him. They wait ed for him at Trepassey and he may feel bound to take the same course But the prime purpose of the whole trip is to put an American seaplane across the Atlantic ocean in air, il was said here, and neither Reed nor
