He indicated he would make alterations on the plane with a view to enabling it to soar higher at the beginning of the voy- age. London, Sept. 2.- (/P) —Whether Charles A.

He and his pilot, Captain Walter Ilinchcliffe, are proceeding to Cran- well this afternoon to superintend the installation of radio equipment in their plane, the Columbia. Levine told newspaper men this morning: “It will, of course, depend on weather reports, when we go; also whether news is received of the safe arrival of the St. Raphael on the other side.'* Constantinople, Turkey, Sept. 2.

Mr. Miller, who received a tale- phone call from- “Duke” Schiller, pilot of the plane, shortly after it was forced down by a friction fire, said the blaze did no damngej but that the tail skid was loosened by the landing jar. A country blacksmith repaired the skid and the ship was made ready for the second hop off. Schiller and Phil Wood, co-pilot, spent the night at a farmhouse near where they landed and expressed the opinion they would encounter little (iifticulty getting away today.

The Bluebird had proceeded about 90 miles when she turned back. The plane was then over the country between Rftmbouillet and Itennes. (Jivon explained that with the heavy load -the plane weighed 12 tons - his ceiling at times was 4*5 > nietet i ibout 1 131 feet).

A few minutes after landing, the Bluebird was back in her nest in one of the vast hang- ars of Lc Bourgct airdrome. Official permission was received lute last night, and this morning the plane darted from the Yeshilkeuy airdrome, soared over the gray mina- rets of Stamtioul, and soon was but un orange splash in the mist over the gulden horizon.

Captain Terry Tully and Lieuten- ant James Medcalf found it raining when they arose this morning after a good sleep at the Vaughn House in this town. “We don’t mind the rain,” said Captain Tully, “but it looks as if we would run into the same fog that forced us back yesterday if wc tried to take off today. 1 figure that we covered about 900 miles in the air yesterday and most of the time we were trying to dodge the fog. We have about 140 gallons of gasoline left and I don't think we'll have to take on any more here. We plan to start for Harbor Grace as soon as we can be reasonably sure of clear weather,' but there’s no occasion for hurry as wc haven’t uny set schedule. As things look now, I think we-’ll loaf around here until tomorrow.” Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 2.—(7P> —Re- peated disappointments in the wake of groundless rumors concerning the fate of Paul Rcdfern, missing Georgia airman, have failed to dim hope here that the flyer would be found alive soon.

Captain Leslie Hamilton and Colonel Frederick F. Minchin, held the attention of two continents as a waning hope for its safe arrival gave way to preparations for a hunt over land and sea. The most generous estimates of the plane’s fuel supply gave it a flying period of 44 hours, barring accident. but at 10:32 o’clock, eastern daylight time, last night—the expiration of the estimated fuel limit no word had been received from the craft. The plane hopped off at 7:32 o’clock, London time (or 2:32 o’clock, eastern daylight time) Wednesday morning. Captain Hamilton had estimated he would make the trip in 37 hours. Lighthouses Keep Vigil Lighthouses dotting the northeast- ern Atlantic coast kept a vain vigil through the night, while radio stations listened intently for the cheer* ing messages that did not come. Flares penetrated the darkness about flying fields to guide the plane to a landing in case it reaches Newfound- land behind schedule. Constant vigil through the day in Newfoundland was ended at mid- night, local time. The signal station above St. Johns was closed, in the belief that further wateh was hope- less. Throngs at Lindbergh field, the destination of the St. Raphael, waited patiently through the day. Mrs. Hamilton, the young wife of the co- pllot of the St. Raphael, was confi- dent and cheerful despite the absence of news of the planers location since it was renorted passing out to sea off the Irish coast at noon Wednes- day. Anxiety Increases Anxiety for the safety of the plane increased with the passing hours. The provincial government prepared to send airplanes in search of the St. Raphael, on the first report indicating it may have descended any- where between the Labrador and Quebec-Ontario boundaries. Captain Robinson, who piloted the plane, sent in search of Nungesser and C'oli, was one of those ready to start on the hunt. ST. RAPHAEL FLYERS CARRIED RUBBED BOAT London, Sept. 2.— (4*) A nxiety deepened today for the safety of the transatlantic plane St. Raphael, two aviators, Captain Hamilton and Col- onel Minchin, and their princess passenger. If the plane alighted at sea, what- ever hope exists here is based on the rubber boat which the St. Ra- phael carried, for it was taken for grunted the plane would sink quick- ly. It was realized, however, that this boat could not be expected to float long if the sea was rough. Nevertheless the experience was re- called of Harry G. Hawker, the Brit- ish aviator, who was rescued in mid- ocean by a steamer in May, 1919, while on :t transatlantic light from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Ireland. It was felt by some that the St. Ra- phael crew might have been picked up in a similar manner if t(icy wu9 forced down. '/< W EATHER CONDITIONS SOMEWHAT UNFAVORABLE Washington, Sept. 2~ -(A*)—Weather conditions along part of the rnutn the now overdue St. Raphael plane expected to follow from England to Canada are believed by naval hydrog- raphers here to have been comparable in part to that encountered by Lieu- tenant Commander Byrd at the time of his landing at Vcr Sur Mer, on the French coast, earlier in the sum- mer. Lieutenant Earl H. Kincuid of the naval hydrography office, after a study of the weather bureau reports, estimated that along the announced route cross winds of about 108 miles an hour prevailed, and then to mid- atlantic head winds from between 13 to 18 miles per hour.
