10 Commercial Ships
Strung Over Pacific
Keep Watch for Fliers
By THOMAS r. CURRAN

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. H.
With nearly 20 commercial steamers
plying through the Pacific between
California and Hawaii. all coast
shipping agencies threw their full
resources today into the search for
the five Dole filters believed to be
adrift at sea.
Powerful radio agencies on shore
constantly queried the ships at sea,
urging unflagging watchfulness for
the Miss Doran' and the Golden
Eagle" and seeking to discover
some trace of the Hawaiian air
derby racers. The commercial yes.
sells augment a squadron of naval
destroyers which already are max.
ing an intensive search over the
Great Circle course to Honolulu.
The missing f1iers are Miss MIL
dred Doran, 22-yearrold Flying
Schoolmarm. in the biplane flown
by Auggy Pedlar and navigated by
v. r. Knope: and Jack Frost and
Gordon Scott, the crew OF the
Hearst Golden Eagle" monopIane.
10 Ships on Line Of Flight
Along the line of flight are the
following vessels: The Eric FriseIl
the Manulani, the President Harri
sodn, the Maukain, the Mana and
seven Navy destroyers. South OF
the course are the Pulpit Point, the
Esther Dollar. the w. s. Miller, the
City Of Los Angeles and the City of
Honolulu. Northward are the Nah
ukona and the Lurline. convergins
on Honolulu. and therefore rapidly
nearing the zone in which the fliers
may be found.
Rushing northward along the
coast and heading for the F'arallones
to take up the search are two air.
plane carriers. The Langley and
the Aroostook.
The two vessels carry the planes
aboard which will launch out over
the sea.

the Staying Of sAleck George and the
wounding OF three other men at

George Reidler, 90, recently dis.

The Staying took place following a

Reidler. apparently crazed with

to have flourished the pistol and
shouted: Now, I've rot YOU fellows

shooting, police were told. Two
bullets struck Aleek George in the

Immediately, however, their JOY
faded. They learned that no word
had been heard of the Golden
Eagle or OF the Miss Doran since
passing the Farallones 80 miles off
the California coast.
Joy Changes to Alarm
Jensen, who landed with his
navigator, Paul Schulter. had the
same reaction Of Joy and then
alarm. Jensen cruised in upon
Wheeler Field two hours after
Goebel.
Anxiety was felt everywhere

Backer Refuses Food
Today. however, he was q broken
man. He stood watch on Wheeler
Field from early morning till late
at night. As the hours passed with
no word from the Miss Doran,"
MonOska wilted into the stupor Of
despair. launched over upon his
knees, he sat motionless, without
animation or interest.
Newspaper men attempted to
cheer him up, but MolIoska could
not be encouraged. He refused sand
witches and coffee reporters insisted
on his taking. He seemed a gaunt
shadow OF the man who only a few
hours before had beamed happily at
everybody.
In terrible contrast to the happy
merriment Of the giant throng that
crowded Wheeler Field yesterday,
stunning ukuleles and cheering
boiSterously, were the small groups
Of eolemn.faced watchers that
clustered upon Wheeler Field to-
day. The thought that somewhere
in the Pacific five of the Dole flIers
have gone down dampened their
spirits and killed their Joy.

1t Is not choppy like the Atlantic,

afloat perhaps three or four hours
before its wings would become so
water soaked that the craft would
sink. The rubber lifeboats then
would be the last resort Of the
crews.
"A drift of as much as three and
a half degrees from the navigator's
Great Circle course would have
caused the pilots to miss their
target. If they were carried from

prevailing winds after one gets

he directed Frost to some isolated

The fact that both the Miss Doran
and the Golden Eagle were last
seen at the Farallon Islands, 80
miles off the Golden Gate, inspired
the hope Of the Army filters that
their intensive search near shore
may bring results. The Army
