Hamper Search.
HONOLULU. Sept. 2. (A. P.) The
vast Pacific continued this afternoon
to hide the disabled navy seaplane
PN-9 No. 1 while efforts to rescue
Commander John Rodgers and his
four co-aviators went on with re
doubled force.
Lieutenant-Commander M. B. Mc
Comb, Junior, commander of the air
atottnn at Paarl !4i.hm aatin,
today that the seaplane descended
about 100 miles northeast of the
Island of Maui and 20 miles from the !
U. S. S. Aroostook, which was on sta-
tlon 1800 miles from San Francisco.
He estimated the drift at that point
due to existing ocean current would
amount to six miles hourly.
LAHAINA. Island of Maul. Sept. 2.
(A. P.) Three naval seaplanes took
off from Lahaina Roadstead at the
first perceptible break of today's dawn
onri flaw tnw.nl tha onalarn hnrlrnn
In a determined effort to learn the
fate of the missing seaplane PN9
No. 1.
Conditions for the search were
greatly Improved over those of last
night, when rain and rough, seas made
survival doubtful of the five airmen
who Monday started on a scheduled
non-stop flight from San Francisco to
Honolulu.
The first message - received here
from the three seaplanes today -said
clearing weather permitted them an
unobstructed view for miles, and that
the ocean had calmed down advant
ageously. There was no visible trace,
however, of the missing plane.
With today's searching seaplanes
navy officials assigned half a dozen
submarines, several destroyers and
other craft, which steamed out to the
east In fan formation.
. Officials continued optimistic that
the missing aviators would be rescued,
despite the lapse of more than 15
hours since the PN-9 No.lradiocast
her last message.
Throughout the night three destroy
ers engaged in a systematic search of
the area In which the seaplane was
believed forced down They steamed
In gradually expanding circles until a
hundred miles had been navigated,
playing their powerful projection
searchlights to either side, but wlth
out finding the object of their search.
The , U. S. S. Aroostook, airplane
tender In the rescue area, succeeded
In launching a scouting plane at 4
o'clock this morning.
The crew of the seaplane PN-9
No. 1. comprised:
Commander John Rodgers, Havre
de Orace. Md.
Lieutenant Byron J.'Conncll, Pitts-
burg, Pa.
Sklles N. Pope, Jackson, Pa.
William H. Bottlln, Richmond. Va.

(A. P.) Word of the plight of her
.son. Flight Commander John Rodgers,
on the navy seaplane PN-9 No. I. re-
ported down in the sea between San
Francisco and Honolulu. Is being kept
from his mother at the Rodgers' home
in Slon Hill, a half mile from here.
Admiral John A. Rodgers, U. S. N.,
retired, has kept In touch with the
search for his son through the Asso
ciated Press. Commander Rodgers'
mother, who is advanced In years, was
worried over her son's attempted San
Francisco-Honolulu venture, and It has
been feared that she would not with
stand the shock of learning that he
had met with mishap.
Fourteen years ago John Rodgers
lew from College Park, Md., to the
home of his parents after having
studied aviation under the Wright
brothers. That flight attracted na
tional attention.
