that Lloyd Bertaud and James Hill, the pi-
lots, had been unable to do more than flash

The manner in which the position was
given, it was pointed out here, indicated that
the aviators and their passenger, Philip
Payne, were not certain of their exact loca-
tion, Or they would have attempted to give it
in latitude and longitude. The position was
estimated by navigators through radio
