and Massachusetts they were re
ceived with scoffing doubt
i At 2 p. m. almost 3$ hours after
the Bremen left Ireland, the crowd
at the field was roughly estimated
at 3,000.
At that time the watchers
seemed chiefly concerned with try
ing to iigure out how much longer
the Bremen could stay in the air,
it no mishap had befallen already.
New England on Watch
BOSTON, April 13. Reports of
unidentified airplanes at hulf a doz
en scattered points in Now Eng
land today kept vatchors for tho
German truns-Atlantlu plane Bre
men busy without briugkig to light
any definite information.
Weather conditions thru most of
New England were clear and a
watch was uialntalnou along the
entire coast from Kastport, Maine,
south to Long island Sound. Ships
and radio stations were on the
alert for any sight ot the plane or
any wireless messnges from points
along the route the Bremen was
expected to follow upon Its arrival
on the America side of the At
lantic. Observers at Nashua, N. H., re
ported having seen a monoplane
flying high above that city but they
were unable to distinguish any
identifying marks. A similar report
came from Windham, N. H., and
later from Massachusetts points lu
the vicinity of Worcester. None of
tho observers was able to identify
uie plane.. ( .,- .
Name Indistinct
K1NGSPORT, N...S.. April 13.
A plane flying very high and pro
ceeding west by southwest was
sighted over Klngsport, at 10:30
o'clock, Atlantio standard time, this
morning by Captain Barkbouse, of
the Canadian government marine
steamer Arras. Captain Barkhouse
said it was too high to distinguish
any markings, but he was sure it
was the German plane Bremen.
He said several other persons
saw and heard the plane.
Efforts were being made to as
certain If the plane was seen or
heard farther west on the coast
bordering the buy of Fundy, but it
wns pointed out that the craft prob
ably , passed over, this district
without being detobted, owing to
the height at which it was flying.
Clarence Patterson, an overseas
man, said he heard the plane for
five minutes whllo working here
but did not see It. Tho weather was
cloar. Both Captain Barkhouse and
Mr. Patterson said no other plane
was known to be operating in the
district.
Klngsport 1b on the west shore
of Miuas Bason, on he north coast
of Nova Scotia, four miles from
Canning. It Is a rail point. It is
about 600 miles from New York lu
all air line.
The sighting at 9:30 a. m. east
oru Btandnrd time would mean that
the plane, if the Bremen, was very
noaiiy on both course and tlmo for
her flight to Mltchel Field, Now
York.
Aviators belloved that the mono
plane would have amplo fuel left
tor the balance of the ' flight. It
would face a westerly wind but
clear weather over most of the re
maining distance.
Not Canadian Plans
HALIFAX, April 13. (By the
Canadian Press.) No Canadian
plane Is known to be operating in
Nova Scotia. The airport at East
ern Passage, near Halifax, is with
out machines at the present time
and it was stated there that if a
piano were working in the prov
ince, the fact would bo known by
local officials.
Horizon Watched
ST. JOHNS, N. F April 13.
High visibility and generally ex
cellent flying weather of yesterdliy
had given way this morning to
strong southeast winds and a low
visibility as watchers anxiously
scanned the horizon for some trace
of the Germau trans-Atlantic plane
Bremen.

off they could hot get any distin
guishing marks.

day that tho' naval radio station nt
Bar Harbor, Mnluo, had picked up
message sent from St, John, N. B.
which read:
"Bremen passed over Yarmouth

it was thought at tho navy yard
that "p. m." might havo been
meant. There was no confirmation
of tho message.

Not the Bremen
PORTLAND, Maine, April 13.
The plane which passed Popham
Bench at the mouth of tho Kenne
bec river at l:2i) and half an hour
Inter was observed from Halfway
Hock Light, between tho Kenne
bec and Cape Elizabeth, was sight
ed through a powerful telescope
by const guardsmen as It passed

plane previously had berm ob
served over Portland before 1

Robert S. Fogg of this city, who
was cruising along the coast la
hope ot meeting the trans-Atlantic
fliers.
In a telephone call to this city
this afternoon. Lieutenant Fogg re
ported that ho had flown about 50
miles beyond Portland without dis
covering any trace of the German
plane. Visibility was poor, not ex
ceeding five miles. He turned back
and lauded at Old Orchard. As his
plane was seen flying along the
coast In a southwesterly direction.
It was mistaken for the Bremen
urtll coast guardsmen nt 'Cape
Elizabeth, Maine, distinguished
that It was a biplane, number 114S.
BERLIN. April 13. As the
hours slipped by without, news of
the Junkers plane Bremen, appre
hension Increased as tc, the fate
ot the aviators. The offices of The
Associated Press were flooded
with telephone inquiries.
Weuther bulletins from different
sources wore keenly scrutinized by
the public, and Germans engerly
discussed tho chance that the Bre
men may have turned to the south
west to avoid the' low-prossure
area.
