Canary Islands (UPI) Somewhere in the vast Atlantic Ocean is a clue to the disappearance of eight brave men who tried to duplicate Columbus' great voyage of discovery to the New World. On Oct. 10, the men includ ing one American set sail for the West Indies in the "Nina," a replica of the smallest of three ships Columbus took on his voyage in 1492. They hoped to make the trip in the 36 days it took Columbus. But they loaded provisions for up to 45 days, in case of trouble. That was 47 days ago. The tiny 39-foot caravel was last seen on Oct. 12, the day after it left Las Paimas, barely out of sight of land 25 miles west of here.

The United Slates Coast Guard is scouring the general area off the Virgin Islands where Uie "Nina II" should be if it is still alloat. Heavy storms whipped the area last week.

Carlos Etiiyo, Die modern voyagers ig nored the advantages of modern sailing to put out in a ship which carried no instruments except a 15th Century wooden sextant and a simple compass like those used in Columbus day. Had No Radio Tho ship was held together by wooden pegs and had no radio, no electricity and no auxiliary motor. As nearly as possible, its trip was to duplicate the conditions of the expedition of 1492. With skipper Etayo on leave from the Spanish navy to carry out the voyage were seven other crew members. They included American Robert Marx, a marine archaeologist and writer from a Angeles; Antonio Scgascta. a Spanish Roman Cath olic priest, arid Antonio Bcdoya, a 69-year-old Spanish fisherman.

There were no signs of survi vors. The air force rescue battalion, which spotted the wreckage, . said the aircraft was "destroy od." LIMA, Peru (UPI) A Varig Airlines Boeing 707 jet airliner en route from Rio De Janeiro to Los Angeles with 97 persons aboard disappeared early today as it was preparing to land at the airport here. Lima airport officials dispatched ground and air parties to a moun tainous area south of here after reports were received that wreck age of the aircraft had been sighted, but those reports proved erroneous, the officials said. Search operations were then shifted to a sandy, deserted coast al strip south of Lima. Helicopters, naval destroyers and ground parties began search es after a morning filled with conflicting reports on the plane'! whereabouts. Two helicopters searched the) area around Ciudad de Dios, a coastal town seven miles south of here, on the theory the plan might have gone down while swinging into its landing pattern at Lima airport, " . Radioed Towor .' 1 ..',;. Airport control officials said the plane radioed the tower at Pisco, Peru, 20 minutes away from Lima and gave Its position but reported no emergency. After the contact with Pisco there was no further communication with the aircraft, officials said. Erroneous reports that wreck age had been sighted near Mala, a town of 1,500 on the Pan Ameri can Highway, led Lima airport of ficials to begin the search there. That search was called off later. Mala police said the false re ports apparently were given by nearby residents who reported a loud explosion at 6 a.m. That, however, was two hours after the) plane, with 80 passengers and a crew of 17, had been scheduled to land at Lima. Varig Airlines in Brazil report ed the plane had radioed Pisco, Peru, and said it was about to make an emergency landing. How ever, the Lima airport control tower said it had no information about such a landing. Prepared to Turn The airport control tower her said the last radio communication from the giant airliner was re ceived when the pilot reported he was preparing to make a turn as part of the regular descent pat tern. The turn would have taken the plane over the Pacific Ocean off shore from Lima. Aboard the air craft were 80 passengers and 17 crewmen. Tower officials said the pilot gave no Indication the airliner was in trouble. Swan blamed in UAL crash WASHINGTON UPI Govern ment investigators said Monday a whistling swan migrating south struck the tail of a United Air Lines Viscount in flight last Fri day, probably breaking off a stabilizer. The airliner plunged into a wooded area near Ellicott City, Md., killing all 17 persons aboard. There were previous reports that a bird had struck the plane. But Monday investigators Identified the bird, estimated to having weighed between 11 and 14 pounds, and appeared to have decided it had indeed caused the crash. A Civil Aeronautics Board spokesman said when the big bird struck the forward edge of the stabilizer, the horizontal part of the tail assembly that keeps the plane on an even keel, it ripped an eight-inch hole in it. Investi gators theorized that this caused the section to break off. "Once you have in-flignt separa tions of these major tail compo nents, you have an aircraft that Is considered uncontrollable," said George A. Van Epps, chief of the CAB investigating team.
