deavored to construct a transmitter
by using a. spark coil In place of a

successful. One of the searching ves
sels heard the faint call of the PN-!,
but couldn't recognize the signal long
enough to get the position of the dis
abled seaplane.
"We managed to keep up our hopes
hy helleving that Stantz would get his
sending set in order." said Aviator Pi
lot Pope. We can't give him too
much credit for the way In which be
worked night and day on that set of
his."
"Yes," chimed ln Stnntz, "believe
mo, that Is some set. While we were
in the nlr we were 'in constant commu

mitter and It certainly proved Us
value to the navy."
The seaplane wns equipped with a
drooping antennae which went out of
service when the plane was forced
down. 'Statu z quickly constructed an
aerial over the wings of the plane
which permitted the reception of all
messages, but without a generator he
was unable to broadcast.
