About that time radio MESA sc

one or two repetitions of the storm

the next couple of hours before wind

It was not long before the plane
struck its next storm area. At 11:42,
plane time. a half hour or SO after
reporting that they We're flying south
of New Caledonia and about 77o
miles from Suva, the fliers opened
their wireless key probably to send
their position report.
Radio operators on shore heard
the signal southern Cross and
then heard the planes generator
shrek wildly upward. The signals
We're rendered barely audible and
then died out altogether. For a

might have plunged into the sea for

have fallen rapidly.
Measuring Word
A little later. however. came the
reassurine word from land stations
in San Francisco that the generator
could be heard but that no messages
were being sent. The Southern Cross
was still rising. plungng and again
rising through the storm and the
worries of the intrepid fliers were
not over.
Yet through all this came not a

They looked for the moon as did
they during their fight from Oak

Frequently did they joke about the
rough riding-always to close their
