Gas Supply Limited
News that the plane was down
did not come as a surprise to the
project officers here.
Three hours before Commander
Rodgers had wirelessed that the
gasoline supply was low and asked
that all ships keep close watch
for landing.
The gasoline supply had been so
closely figured that there was no
margin to take care OF any unex-
pected delay. "Just enough to- get
there with favorable winds,'' Com
mander Rodgers said before leaving.
Rodgers apparently believed he
had enough gasoline to make the
guardship Tanager when late yes.
terday he sailed over the Aroostoois
at a speed of 10S miles an hour.
The Tanager lay $50 miles to the
westward. The big plane contin-
ued to take bearings from the two
vessels and kept up a running
comment on the rapidly diminishing
gasoline supply. Then came silence.
This was the signal for the hunt
to start although efforts were made
to get in touch with the plane by
radio.
The plane was equipped with a
kite to be used as an aerial out
1t is presumed that there was not
enough gasoline left for the plane
to taxi along and raise the kite.
Flares Not Visible
The plane, also carried wing flares
electrically lighted to be used in
case Of a night landing, but they
were not visible last night, accbrd-
ing to reports from the searching
vessels.
Meanwhile, preparations continued
here today for the third attempt
to span the. Pacific between here
