WALES AGAIN OUT ALL NIGHT Prim e Sleeping at Noon Today After Strenuous Party k Syosset. N. Y.,' Sept. 5.— (A. P.) The Prince of Wales spent bis fourth successive night out last night. He had not risen at noon. He will at tend the international polo matches at Meadowbrook club tomorrow. He plans to leave here for his ranch near Calgary, Alberta, on September IT'. Radio reports of the derelict gov ernor Parr's position received • by the hydrographic office from pass ing vessels show that the abandoned ship Is traveling in a great circle In the ocean which will eventually bring her back to near her starting point. This circular motion, the ancients held, was explained by the fact that it was the rim of the gi gantic whirlpool which gave rine to Sargasso. When last reported, July 30, she was off the coast of Portugal and was heading south, on the eastern border of the long swing back across the Atlantic at the equator, When last seen the vessel was completely water-logged, with only the slumps of her masts, bowsprit and jibboom standing, The deckhouses were ap- parently Intact. She carried only four feet of freeboard forward. Nearly 40 radio reports of the vt ssel's position have been received by the hydrographic office since she was cast adrift. These show that If the derelict is not picked up or destroyed It will be carried by the northeast trade winds and the cir cular currents of the Atlantic to a position Dear where she was aban doned.
