(AP) The vast Pacific con tinued late to day to hide the disabled naval seaplane PN-9 number 1, while efforts to rescue Commander John Rodger and his four co-aviators went on with redoubled fource. Lack of fuel forced the giant seaplane to descend late yesterday on a stormy sea when its destination on a non-stop flight from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor was less than 300 miles away. Lieutenant Commander M. B. McComb, junior com mander of the air station at Pearl Harbor, estimated 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 station 1800 miles from San Francisco. He estimated the drift at that point due to existing ocean currents would amount to ix miles hourly, which would move the seaplane, if afloat, 108 miles to the westward, by 8 a. m. today. LAHAINA, Island of Maui, Sept. 2. (AP) -Three naval seaplanes took off from Lahaina Roadsteads at the first perceptible break of today's dawn and flew toward the eastern horizon in a determined effort to learn the fate of the missing seaplane PN-9, number 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 Fran-i-isco to Honolulu. The first message received here from the three sea planes today said clearing weather permitted them an unobstructed view for miles, and that the ocean had calmed down advantageously. There was no visible trace, however, of the missing seaplane. With today's searching seaplanes navy officials as signed half a dozen submarines, several destroyers, and other craft, whVrh slodinod out Hit ssst in niu formation.
