SEEK FLYER ADR|FT
IN SOUTH PACIFIC
WarshipS and Planes in
Quest for Brophy, Miss
ing for "a Hours.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, March 20.-Despite far
flung fruitless 24-hour search for
Glenn w. Brophy, who vanished at
sea yesterday while attempting a 500
mile flight from Macao to Manila, hope
for the American aviator's safety was
rekindled tonight when his hacker an
nounced the plane had been con-
structed to float indefinitely.
L. E. Gale, who financed Brophy IN
seeking to establish a commercial air
route between Shanghai and Manila by
way of Hongkong and Macao, said the
plane had been carefully equipped to
meet a forced landing at sea.
Gale said the fuselage had been
stuffed with strongly inflated alright
bags. Several life RATS and life belts
also were in the equipment, Gale SAID,
and these, with the wings, should Keep
the plane afloat several days.
The hacker was convinced Brophy was
drifting somewhere in the South emma
Sea and would be found if the Navy
continued its intensive search.
Navy Widens Search.
Meanwhile American naval forces
widened their hunt. Three destroyers
left Lingayen for Pratas Reef and to-
morrow two Army amphibians will fly
to the Batanes Islands small group
lust north of Luzon. These islands are
lar from the steamship lanes and man
could land there and be cut OIL from the
outside world indefinitely.
Brophy was believed to have little
chance of being picked up by mer-
chairman, as his course did not toI-
low the steamship lanes.
Hope virtually was abandoned for two
other American flyers, believed to have
plunged to their deaths of Mindanao
Island.
F. A. Diekhoff of San Francisco and
William Scott, Manila, generally were
regarded as dead. A pontoon of Dick
hoff's hydroairplane was found in the
Pacific Ocean off the bleak eastern
coast of Mindanao last Saturday. No
other trace Of the flyers was found.
Diekhoh and Scott disappeared on
2-hour flight March from Surigao
Harbor Northern Mindanao, to Davao.
Diekhoff was a salesman for a New
York firm, while Scott was engaged in
business here.
The Radio Corporation of the Phil
ippines was advised Portuguese Army
seaplane had been dispatched from
Macao to patrol the China coast In the
search for Brophy. The United States
destroyers John d. Ford. Paul Jones and
Truxton and the aircraft tender Heron
left Manila late last night to search the
western coast of Luzon Island.
