queer phenomenon of "too good"
radio reception which so confused
the pilot of Seattle-8an Fran
cisco United Alrllnei plane he
became lout and had to brine
tha transport down on the aea
whon It ran out of gasoline. Ona
aaid the phenomenon had oc
curred Just three times and never
before had caused an accident.
Cabin Dry
Added to the grief of the five
Tlctlms' famillea was the knowl
edge that had the plane occu
pants remained in the cabin iu
atead of scrambling to the top
of the fuselage "for safety,"
they probably would have reached
shore without Injury. The cabin
of the wrecked and haltered air
liner was dry when It finally
washed ashore. The pilot and
one passenger survived.
Dispatched to the scene by the
civil aeronautic! authority in
Washington was a board of In
quiry headed by Thomaa O. Har
din, member ot tne ltaa saiety
board.
Their task, as a United Air
lines official expressed it, will
be "to make formal findings
about what everybody now al
ready knows was the cause of
the accident."
Other Two Escaped
"The poor pilot Just got so
many short wave atations he
couldn't sort them out," the offi
cial said. "The Oakland airport
did send out instructions to clear
the air until the plane got lta
correct bearings, but it was too
late then, for he waa already
far oft his course, with gasoline
fast dwindling."
O. C. Richardson, assistant
western divisional manager of the
airlines, said he knew ot only
three times in the history of
commercial aviation comparable
atmospheric conditions had con
fused pilots. But pilots who were
confused twice before managed
to escape without accident, he
aald.
"It waa one of those perfect
nights when every radio signal
was coming In strong," explained
Pilot Stead. "You could have
called a friend In Australia and
recognlxed his voice. There waa
such a hodge-podge of radio sig
nals we couldn't pick out our
own to follow."
1 M Gallons a Minute
The record ot short wave mes
sages at Oakland airport tella a
laconic story of the prolonged
efforts ot the plane pilots to get
their position, of their failure
until so late they were out at
sea, with but 20 gallons of gaso
line left, and the plane Burning
these up at the rate of 1H gal
lons a minute.
Tha airport gave last-minute
advice trying to direct the filers
to a sandy beach, but their last
desperate message before commu
nication was snapped at 6:22 a.
m. was:
"We pulled a flare and the
ahore is too rough for landing.
Give us the wind!"
Perfect Landing
The keeper ot the Point Roves
lighthouse, H. J. Pflegbaar,
watched the plane circle toward

its way, unheeding.
"It was a perfect landing. Just
like a plane landing on the
ground," Pfleghaar said.
Only a few minutes before did
the passengers learn they were
In any danger. Stewardess "Bob

about to make an emergency
landing on the water and ad
vised taking off coats and shoes.
Up Through Hatcli
"We all went through the
hatch," related Passenger Edel
Btein, "and I helped some up
onto the top of the ship. I sat
alongside the pilot. He was a
fine man. Once, a wave pushed
me Into the water and I yelled
for help. He reached down and
pulled me up.
"Everybody else went off be

the water. We swam ashore. It
was a tough swim, but we made
It, I don't know Just how."
The stewardess had kept
afloat, too, and landed on a rock

was pushed into tbe seething
