the propeller and a resultant loss OF
speed OF the plane. To attempt a

A boat put out Immediately from

Unidentified PLANE
FLIES OVER AZORES
Mystery Craft, Headed East, Ap.
pears IN Good Condition,
Observers Say.

By the Associated Press.
HORTA, Azores, September 16.-An
unidentified airplane was reported to
have passed over the western side Of
Fayal this morning at $3.50 local time.
The plane was flying from west to
east at low altitude and apparently
in good condition. The weather was
very fine and the sea calm with a
light breeze.
LONDON, September Is tP)ACon-
siderable mystery is attached here to
the identity of the plane reported
sighted over the Azores this morning
since there has been no news here OF
any transatlantic or other over-water
flying, except the Macintosh fight
which started from Ireland after the
plane had been reported over the
Azores. The fact that the machine
was flying from west to east would
seem to indicate that ii was most i'm
probable that it's starting point was
on this side of the Atlantic.
