The Tanager reports at s
O'Clock (Honolulu time) plane
not found"
HONOLULU, Sept. 2.-Five men in a
disabled seaplane, drenched with tropical
rain, hemmed in by tropical night in
MD d-Pacific-such was the picture paint
ed by the most optimistic here today
of the unfortunate end of the attempted
nonstop navy seaplane flight from San
Francisco to Honolulu
This gloomy view Of the predicament
of Commander John Rodgers, U. S. ~,
and his four co-aviators, was based on
official reports received last night from
ships in the path of the big sea-planc
PN-9 number 1. Tht reports all tailed;
that the aviators were lost, untracable
in the darkness.
Throughout the hours of darkness,
however, plans for rescue Of the avia-
tors. should they be found and alive
were brought to completion. The island
of Maui, nearest of the Hawaiian group
to the point the Pm plane was believed
to have dropped into the Pacific was
designated as the rescue base Airplanes
submarines amid surface ships were reA-
dy at daybreak to start a systematic
search of that territory betweent the
21st and 23rd parallels of latitude ana
153rd and 155th meridians
he a 81
seaplane, the PN-9 number 3, left San
Francisco Monday afternoon on sche
duled nonstop fligt to Pearl Harbor,
Oahu The number plane gave up some
800 miles outside the Golden Gate be-
cause of mechincal difficulties The
number / machine, flagplane Of the
flight, scurrr,d on.
Ten ships of the United States Navy
had been assigned difinite position on
the line Of the flight. Ship after shE.
was passed, even the U. S. Langley. the
half way point in, the flight. ard at
tanment of the Pearl Harbor objective
seemed only matter of hours.
Rising winds, however, retarded the
speed of the ship and forced extra Eagnnt
gasoline.
Tuesday shortly after noon in Hons
lulu, commander Rodgers radioed that
his fuel was running low. Two hours
more and after a number of messages
saying it would be forced to alight, the
seaplane's radio was silenced.
BY that time rain was falling steadily
in the vicinity of the seaplane. Visibil-
ity was bad. The ships which started
out to rescue the stranded aviators
found themselves hafhpered by the en-
croaching night and by lack of definite
bearings showing the location of the
lost plane.
Navy officers expressed themselves
confident that Commander Rodgers
would do everything possible to save
his ship and men, although admitting
anxiety over weather conditions 4
