 The plane was almost entirely de- molishod and fire had taken much of the WreCkage. Mr. Rowloy was of the opinion that the pilot had seen field and had intended to make q landing on it but had flown 100 low and struck tree on the Ld9e of the woods.
 Fog and rain had prevented planes taking the air to assist in the search but in the fields and woods many men and boys plodded slowly all forenoon seeking trace of the plane. The most substantial re- port given of q plane having flown over this section Friday had come from Mrs. W. A. Stcvts of Green wich, who that afternoon was on her way from Hartford to Daniel son and had seen q plane flying low over the state highway between Warrenvillc and Mansfield state training school just outside of Will llmantic.
