Three FLAIR, fading to red were

off the starboard bow. The distance
was approximately three miles. Our
position at midnight 6 a. m. in Dis;

Description Fits Planes
The West Sequana is a United
States Shipping Board freighter,
operated by Swain and Hoyt, of San
Francisco. She sailed from the
Golden Gate Thursday night for
Shanghai, China.
Mechanics at the Oakland airport
explained that flares carried by both
the Miss Doran and the Golden
Eagle, flash into 4 reddish CLEAN be-
fore fading.
The position Of the West Seuuana,
however, is nearly 900 miles away
from the point ct which the Dallas
Spirit sent her last report.
The flares, therefore, II sent up
by q plane are believed to come from
the Golden Eagle or the Miss DoraEl.

Should the writ be granted the

Should Justice McReynolds, who
has been in washington most of the
summer. return within q few days,
an application for a stay Of execu-

Gate, electrified the search
On both sides Of the Pacific
early today by reporting the
ii hting az four distinct red
dish flares.
The freighter is about $40
miles away from the last
position Of the Dallas Spirit,
prompting the hope that the
signals may have been shot
up from the Miss Dcran or
the Golden Eagle.
Three destroyers, the La.
valIete, the Sumner and the
Hardwood, were converg-
ing on a point about $50
miles off the coast where
