PINED0 BELIEVED
 NEARING AZORES
Daring FIer Himself Is Said to
 Be UniDjured

New York. May 25 R,-Uninjured despite hs forced landing in mid- Atlantic during his 1,600 mile jump from Trepassey,~N. F., to the Azores, Commander Francesca De Pinedo today presumably was with his plane at Fayal, Azores. or near there. The last advices from Fayal, with communication difficult, were that he was being lowed to port.
 The Santa Maria. De Pinedo's plane. was seen in tow of the schooner Infantia Vesagres near latitude 41:25 north and longitude 32:2S west, or 36O miles southwest of the Azores. by the steamer Cabo Torres, said wireless messages re- ceived by the Radio Corporation of America. The vessel was sighted at 1850 G. NJ. T. or $50 eastern day. light Monday.
 A Portuguese warship went from the Azores to meet the schooner. Advices from Lisbon indicated that word had been received from Pinedo that he was unhurt and needed no more assistance. One report was that he had reached Fayal.
 De Pinedo's course was charted from Trepassey to the Azores, thence to Portugal and then to Rome. Expectations are that he will resume his flight when his plane is overhauled in the Azores.
 De Pinedo left Trepassey. early Monday and was due in the Azores in the afternoon.
 London. May c5 P)-Lloyds gave out an intercepted wireless message todaysfrom the Italian steamer Dui- lio saying: De Pinedo airplane be- ing lowed safely into Fayal."
 Rome, May 25 P-A dispatch to the Stefani News agency from Hor- ta, Island of Fayal, in the Azorea today says the report that Com- mander De Pinedo's plane has ar rived there is not confirmed.
 All the dispatches received in Rome this morning on the subject tended to modify the previous in- formation. Today's advices concur red in affirming that the seaplane was still being lowed toward the Azores by a three-masted Pcrtu guese vessel.
