ST. PAUL ISLAND,! Bering

sages received here late today

len, trans-Pacific fliers, plan to
hop for Nome, Alaska, tomorrow
from Miano Pllglno, small village
southwest of Cape Navarin. where
they were set ashore after being
rescued from an uninhabited Isl
and where their proposed Japan
to Seattle flight jBtarted. j
The messages said the weather
was moderating rapidly! following
a storm which raged in ithe vicin
ity of Cape Navarin yesterday and
today.
The word received hete said
the fliers would go from Nome to
Seattle, possibly In two bops, but
did not say where the intermedi
ate stop would be en route to the'
states from Nome. It Was believ
ed here this would place them in
Seattle about September 22, the
date Moyle . set for his arrival
there in a-.messaKe to Frances
Bresson, his fiancee at Riverside,
Calif. : -.-'
The advices said the monoplane
was taken to Miano Pllglno by the
Burlat at the same time the fliers
were set ashore there, but no de
tails were given.

emphatically .scorned "!by " John
