Plot Moore, while not able to
see reporters. gave q graphic ac-
cunt of his experience with the
wrecked plane to hospital physi-
clans.
He volplaned into the sea on
Wednesday after the propeller had
gone wrong. he said. Pieces of the
broken shaft punctured the hull of
the craft, and he stuffed the holes
with clothing. This failed to keep
out the water, and members of the
party worked at the pumps until
exhausted. Then a great wave
struck the plane and 1t turnd over
spilling out the occupants. Mr.. and
Mrs. August Built failed to come
up, Moore said.
Smith and Dickson were then
lashed to the wings but were so
beaten by the waves that they died
tr Moore's arms before midday
Thursday. The next morning Law
