which the plane is equipped.
Plans were made before leaving for
the Admiralty station at St. Johns to
receive messages from the plane dur

ter this communication can be had
only through ships which are expected
to pick up and relay any messages sent
out by the plane. Admiral Kerr said
he hoped to be able to report hourly
through ships in the western Atlantic.

message to ships at sea this morning

requesting that all steamers watch for
and report promptly any signals sent
out by the machine.
