.HONOLULU, Sopt. 11. (A. P.)
Their food supply exhausted for four
days, burned by tho tropical sun.
bearded and' worn, the five members
of the naval seaplane PN-9 No. 1
were ashore today at N'awlllwili. 64
miles northwest of Honolulu , after
their seaplane was picked up at sun
down yesterday by the submarine It 4
and towed to port.
The plane was found IS miles' north
of Nawiliwlli after being buffeted
uhout for nine days, when It was
rorced down off Honolulu when it had
exhausted fuel supplies on a non-stop
flight from San Franelsco to Honolulu.
The seaplane landed at 11 P. M.,
three hours after it was towed Into
the harbor by the submarine. .The
aircraft dropped anchor and small
boats went to her assistance.
When the happy crew was brought
ashore the men were taken to Lihue
hotel, where doctors -inspected the
men and then ordered them to bed.
All the men bore a hnggard look.
They plainly allowed iheJutrain under
which they had lived' or illne days.
Thoy :were heavily' bearded, . their1
faces fanned iby the tropical' sun.'-''
The' wings . of. tho .seaplane were
badly smashed by; the seas but the
hull was not damaged.
The island communities, on the
point of despair yesterday, were cele
brating the arrival of the aviators with
a joy that found vent in an impromptu
celebration at Honolulu in which the
island residents Joined with the fleet
crews just returned from the Antip
odes. Down Near Aroostook.
The PN-9. No." l was forced down
just north of the point where the
destroyer Aroostook wus stationed,
less than 300 miles from shore. The
filers experienced no trouble In land
ing, they said. In the 218V6 hours
which had elapsed after, the end of
the attempted nonstop flight, the big
plane, buoyed up principally by Its
empty gasoline tanks, had drifted ap
proximately 450 miles in a line almost
due westward from the point where it
had dropped from the air to the sur
face cf the water.
The last messages from the fliers
picked nip by the navy ships which
guarded the flight route, were re
quests for compass bearings, admis
sions that they had lost their bearings
and repeated assertions to the effect
that "if we have to alight here, we're
goners."
Progress of the plane wind driven
on the face of the water was slower
than calculations of the searching
navy forces had Indicated. It was
sighted at a position over which the
flotilla of naval craft had cruised last
Saturday and was pinked up by a sub
marine heading ft to moat tho
searching fleet.
Flares Were 9een.
The location was near that In which
the mine sweeper Wliippoorwill had
reported two days after the search
started seeing a white flare and two
red rockets, which had occasioned a
decided increase In the area over
which the cruising ships were cours
ing. . ''
The big navy plane which was
forced down when within an hour's
flight of its destination was captained
by Commander John KodgerB, veteran
flier of the United States tiavnl forces,
who learned to fly as a pupil of the
Wright brothers at Dayton, Ohio, 14
yenrs'nKo. Because of his skill and
experience he had been assigned from
his post In Washington, D. C as the
flight commander. The PN-9 No.. 1

before four o'clock yesterday after
noon ot Roundup park. Chief Tay
lor's horse, u big powerful - black,
well known to roundup crowds, fell
with him and a fracture wo sus
tained at the base of the kull. Mr.
Taylor never regained consciousness.
There were no eye witnesses to the
accident, but from those who were
near and . who picked the Injured"
man up, the horse had apparently
stumbled over ft rock and turned
turtle. When found, the rider was
lying , with arms outstretched and
with blood pourlng from his ears.
He was rushed to the hospital for
medical attention whore the extent
of his injuries were ascertained; .
"Jinks" Taylor has carried the na
tional colors at the head of all

For years it has been Taylor's
custom to help handle the stock at
the grounds before tho show. Tay
lor, an ex-cowboy, was one of the
bojit riders In the country and yes
terday he, with others, were running
the roping steers back fom the
nrena to their barns. Someone care
lessly left a gate open leading off
over the railroad tracks toward the
river and several of the steers raced
wildly out to freedom with Taylor
in hot pursuit. On the uncertain
footing his mount stumbled and
tuned a somersault with Taylor
underneath. Ills horso running freo
soon nttrncted attention and the
Pendleton officer was picked up.
In 1020 when Til Taylor, the then
sheriff of Umatilla county, was killed
hy escaping prisoners, "Jinks" Tny
lor was appointed to fill out his
unexpired term. In 1921 Tailor waa
nnmed chief of police and has serv
ed in that capacity since. Prior to
1920 "Jinks' served for about 10
years as a deputy under his famous
brother. Til.
After tho murder of Til Tnylor,
when posses had flnnlly caught the
three desperate men, a mob gathered
around tho courthouse with the very
definite Idea of rushing the jnll and
lynching the three men. It was
"Jinks" Taylor, who went out alone
to the mob nnd dissuaded them be

all talking simultaneously, attempt- '
lng to give the high lights of their

abled seaplane without gasoline.
The most poignant point in their,
.experience was the ability to listen
, to raditicaHt messages from searching
ships saying that hope of a rescue
was being abandoned, thut tho sea
plane had ."crecked" when, it was
! dualied to a fuel-less forced landing.
in mld-i'aeiric.
Kvery member of the crew com

crew. "We sighted a merchant ves
sel five miles off. Signals were sent'
up repeated ly and every effort waa
made to attract attention of the ves
sel but it passed on. ' .
"Our plnne wns able to pick up
messages from the steamer which re-,
fused to divulge Its name, but drifted
to the northwest., Then- came tho
period of added suspense.. 'After . that
no planes or ships were sighted until
Wednesdny when we saw a plane, off
the coast of Oahu." ; - v ;
"The plane was seaworthy- onrt
stood the rough weather well," nald
Commander Rogers. "We experienc
ed bad weather for just one day at
sea. That wus the .third day after ;
we were forced down, Rain " and
heavy seas made matters uncomfort

"The worst part of the drifting '
period was when we were able to

that hope of finding us had been
given up."
