The radio crackled out a brief startled message: "Wo hit an nlr pocket, and lost some altitude." Then alienee, listening radio op erators said they had contact with the plane's sin, but In the absence of messages, such statements fail ed to assure laymen. Then for a time even the radio men lost con tuct and with sickening heart many a listener muttered: "Tboy are gone." The Southern Cross moved Into the (rndo wind belt with perfect ease, encountered no difficulty In the handling of the ship as the load tightened, excepting for the sud den drop registered 1,100 miles out. The detailed story of what huppened during- this .fall must await the arrival of the four air men nt Honolulu today. FLIERS DOWN AT NASIRIYAH; FLIGHT LONG KAItAClfl. India.
