MIAMI. Fla, March 25.-Robert
Moore, pilot of the flying boat Miss
Miami, missing since Wednesday
morning when the boat left here
for the Island OF Bimini in the Bra.
hamas, was being brought to Miami
today.
Moore. more dead than alive,
was picked up by a steamer about
fifty miles OF shore and about 100
miles north of Miami, The cap,
tain of the steamer Immediately re.
ported the finding OF Moore and
said he apparently was the sole sur.
visor Of the accident which forced
the Miss Miami down in the oper
sea. The passengers aboard the
flying boat when she left here for
Bimini, a ~forty-flve minute flight,
were Mr.. and Mrs. August Butte
and Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence z.
Smith all OF Kansas City and Mrs.
]. S. Dickson OF Memphis, Tenn.
Two of the women passengers
died of exposures and two other
passengers, crazed by exposure,
jumped into the sea. according to
the story told by Moore to mem
bers OF the crew on the rescue
steamer.
The fifth passenger slipped quiet.
ly into the sea carly yesterday aft
or having become exhausted from
clinging to the craft.
The suh.chaser 154 arrived in
port today after having transferred
the dellrious pilot from the steam
er which picked him up. He was
rushed to a hospital where 1t is
feared that the exposure will re.
suit in his death. The i%ncoherent
story OF the tragedy, as told by the
pilot before he lapsed into a semi
conscious condition, Is TO the effect
that shortly after the Miss Miami

down and she rode the waves In

gulf stream.
Thursday morning the hull OF the
flier began to leak as a result o!
hitting against something. Men
and women passengers took turns
at the pumps until all became ex'
hausted and ono OF the women on
Thursday night jumped overheard,
A man whom he thought was her
husband leaped after her. and both
disappeared. After seven and a
half hours. the two women died in
the arms Of the pilot and he drop

wave overturned the flier. Butte,
then took $4,000 from his pocket
and handed It to Moore, saying:
You are a younger maj and may
be able to come through, but l can.
not hold out any longer" Then he,
too, dropped into the water.
tAccoring to the story Of Moore
nine boats passed the Miss Miami
after she was down. one so close
ly that he could read her name, but
they did not>see the wrecked Graf.
He said that on Wednesday and, Fri
day he saw planes flying overhead
but saw none on Thursday.

day, has still to run the gauntlet
OF two other legislative bodies,

sion on that point, 1t has been
tacitly understood in diplomatic
circles here that because OF gen.
'uine doubt that existed up TO the
lqst moment as to the fate OF the
treaty in the Senate. some of these
diplomatic representatives have
advised their governments that 1t
might be we'll to defer their own
action on the treaty pending devel.
opments in Washington.
The British government, IL 1t
follows the ordinary course. can
gfye-it assent to the treaty without
reference to parliament, by u
mere order in privy council.
The japanese government is
clothed with similar power for the
ratification of that country and
may be given by the council OF
peers. a very limited body OF high
officials. 7tle Italian premier is
understood to have pledged HIM
self to submit the treaty to the

there cannot be the slightest
