kings Bay, SpitzbeTgeu, May 16 PA steady stream of radio sig nals today linked Kings Bay with the dirigible Italia now cruising i, lonely majesty over the mysteriou. polar regions long so inhospitabl to man.
 The Italia was sending hourly wireless messages to her base ship, the Citta Di Milano. at Kings Bay telling of observations made by the dirigible.
 General Cmberto Mobile sent a message early this morning that the Italia had experienced an hour and half fog and had to fly at q height of 150 meters in a 30 kilo- meters wind at a speed or from 30 to 40 kilometers.
 The Nenezia flag early today was dropped over Tipliz Bay in honor of Francho Querieni. who followed the Cegni polar expedition of 1909 and perished there.

Have Not Yet Definitely Estah Ishd Location of Boat
 Which Sank Monday
ONE BODY PULLED TO
 TEN FEET OF SURFACE
Grappling Hooks Lose Object and Rough Water Prevents Further Attempts to Locate It-16 Men Out Today to Hunt for Brockton Citizens Trapped In MotorbOat "Mac."

Rockwood. Me. May l6 (UP)
 The first body to be recovered
 in connection with the sinking
 of the motorboat Mac" was
 taken from Moosehead Lake
 early this afternoon.
 The body was identified as
 that of Dr. David Bridgwood,
 B, one of the nine Brockton,
 Mass, men who perished with
 their guide in the boat wreck
 Sunday night.
 No trace of the sunken
 motorboat. believed lying in
 nearly 100 feet of water. had
 been found.
 Lockwood, Me, May Is UP) - A diver probably will be used tt recover the bodies of nine Brock. ion, Mass, men and their Maine guide, who were drowned late Sun. day when the motoyboat Mac loundered in Moosehead lake.
 Frank Mackenzie, proprietor o, the West Outlet Camps, said today that he expected to employ the services of a diver as soon as the position of the sunken craft had been definitely established.
 Fail to Find Boat
 Once during yesterdays dragging operations searchers believed they lad located the wrecked boat, but 1,ta it l. :, merely caught on some other sub- merged object.
 Again. during the search. an ob- Ject believed to be body, was hauled to within 10 feet of the sur face about 200 yards off shore. Mac. kenzie expressed the belief that this was the body Of Dr. Arthur F. Peterson. who sank to his death while trying to swim ashore with Police Captain James F. Lays, the only survivor.
 The body. if that was what the object was, was lost from the grappling hooks as it neared the surface, and rough waters prevented new attempts to recover it.
 Diver Volunteers
 Walter McLaren, former navy diver ard member of the Brockton fire department. has volunteered to come tere and dive for the bodies, but Mackenzie said the diver would not be chosen until the boat had been located.
 Sixteen men in three motorboats and seven canoes went out on the fake this morning and resumed dragging. There was a stiff breeze and the water was rough. indicat- ing that dragging operations might be confined to the larger lake boats later in the day.
 Six men. under direction of Head Game Warden George Stobie, came here from Naterville today to join in the search. More volunteers were expected before noon.
 Reports that film of oil on the lake was believed to mark the spot where the Mac" went down were discounted by Mackenzie. He stated that such an oil film was seen on the lake Monday. the day after the accident, but that it was thought to have come from a passing 1notor- boat.
