Commander of PN-9 Eager to
Finish Air Trip As Planned
Fully Recovered From
Effects of Disaster Jollies
1 the Newspaper Men.
no.OLlLl", Sept. 14. (A. P.)
Commander John Rodgers today told
something of tho sensation of being
alive, drifting at sea, while picking
up messages telling that agreement
had been reached by searching of
ficials that ho had died when his
seaplane, the l'N-9 No. 1 struck
the water after being forced dowu
by lack of gasoline.
Commander Rodders today had re
covered his old springy stride, an
indication that ho was returning to
his former alert, dynamic, physical
condition. He twitted newspapermen
about their enterprise in covering
the flight of the PN-U No. J.
'You newspapermen are all right."
said Captain John. "111 give you
credit. You are on the job and 1
like a fellow who is on the job.
You made H good job of consigning
me and my crew to the deep and
then you made a fin' job of it when
you resurrected .rue."-. . : '
"How does it feel to be 'dead'" and
(hen come to life again?" the com
mander was asked. j
"It's a wonderful sensation," he
replied. "There's one advantage of
being 'dead, you soon learn what
the world thinks of you. If what
was said when you were 'dead' is
favorable, then It's a pleasure to re
turn to life. !
"While we were out there sailing
along, we often heard how our plane
had dropped to the bottom of the
ocean. Vo picked up messages of
condolence; we heard bitter words
tossed about; we heard suggestions
as to how the 'accident could have
been prevented.' We heard very
clearly the radio expressions and ex
planations of how our plane plunged
downward the moment we landed.
So we decided that those who had
not seen us go down knew more
nbont it than we did and then we
resigned ourselves to the Inevitable
for the time-being.
"Having no way to answer back,
we didn't. We just came back."
Turning to the future and his
plans to finish the flight by flying
his plane from the island of Kauai
to Honolulu, thus completing tho air
cruise, Commander Rodgers said :
"The plane is not damaged. We
took some of the fabric from one of
tlio wings in order to rig up a sail
and we used some woodwork as fuel
when distilling water, but aside from
this the ship is in perfect condition.
"Whether 1 will finish the flight
or not depends upon conditions, but
if I have my way about it, I'll fin
ish It."
"How are you fooling?"
"Oh. all right Just fine 1 ninko
a bee-line for tho hospital when I
get away from you fellows," he said,
addressing the reporters.
"Over nt the hospital they have
a valid, or nt least n plausible ex
cuse for keeping you out," he added,
chuckling heartily.

In time the railroad took these lands
off the market. The government
brought suit to compel the company
to forfeit the lands back to the fed

that tho railroad company -'had bro

, In 1915 tho United State supreme,
court held that the lands coiild not
be forfeited without the railroad
company receiving $2. B0 an acre for

grants, Including those It had sold.
The court suggested that congress
amend the original act ho ns to have
the government take back the lands
nnd at the same time give the rail
road company $2.50 an ucre to which
it was entitled.
Acting upon' , this suggestion, the
Chamberlnin-Ferris act was passed
which provided that the government
would take back all. the lands left,
but pay the railroad $2.60 an acre for
