Ships Continue Hunt
For Miss Doran,
Other Fliers

HONOLULU, Aug. 2o.-GP,-Mer-
camille ships and naval seaplanes
TO-DAY had searched nearly all Ha-
waiian waters without finding the
slightest trace Of the Miss Doran
and the Golden Eagle. Dole race en-
trants three days over due in Homo
lulu and without doubt either
wrecked or helpless.
Submarines have investigated the
windward side of all Of the islands
except Kauai while seaplanes have
rounded Cahua and most Of Maui
and Molakai. Submarines also
searched the waters between the isl.
ands Of Maui, Hawaii and Kahloo-
lave.
Meanwhile other naval vessels
are searching from San Francisco
and the destroyers Sunnadin and
Pelican have been out since Wed
nesday night, the day following the
departure OF the two missing planes
from Oakland.
Flare Sighted
The Associated Press representa-
tive aboard the Sunnadin reported
high seas off Makapu point. Island
Of Oahu, at midnight OF Wednesday
which caused naval authorities to
express doubt as to the ability of
any airplane TO survive on the sur
face OF the water in such weather.
At 9 o'clock Thursday night the
Sunnadin reported having sighted a
flare in the north. Both the Sunna-
din and the Pelical investigated but
found nothing.
The rumor crop Friday was much
smaller than on Thursday, princi-
pally because Of the reaction locally
against publication in the Honolulu
Advertiser of the erroneous report
that the Miss Doran, piloted by John
A. Pedlar and navigated by Lieuten-
ant Villas r Knope, with Miss Mil
dred Doran Of Flint. Mich. as pas
senger. had been found and those
aboard rescued.
Seas AYE Watched
Residents on all the islands, how
ever, continued to watch the seas
carefully. and some reports were re-
ceived Of mysterious floating OBJ
Jects. The credulity Of the people
had been strained, however. and
they are seemingly unwilling TO
guess at anything being an airplane
unless II is pretty well proved not
70 be anything else
Rewards for the recovery of the
lost fliers now total $4,000. half
from James Dole, sponsor of the
Oakland-Honolulu flight. $4,000
from William H. Malloska Of Flant.
