VENEZUELA BRINGS RB BULLET! ‘NEWED Hi k, Georgia, Aug. 29.—(P)— Renewed hope that Paul Redfern may have reached South America was giv- en to the wife and friends of the aviator here today on receipt of the Associated Press bulletin from Caracas, Venezula. The news was communicated im- mediately to the young wife of the aviator, who has been staying with friends here since her husband hopped off at 12:49 p. m., Thursday, for Brazil. Redfern's plgtted course, however, did not carry him over Venezuela, and if the airplane reported sighted there was not Port of Brunswick, the aviator had been blown off his course a few hundred miles to the westward. Redfern's mapped schedule called | for his passage over the Grenada is- lands and to town of St. George Fri day morning. A stretch of 489 m‘ of water thet should have brought him’ over the Tobago islands, 489 miles from continental land. Friday afternoon he expected to reach near Port of Spain, isle of Trinidad, and Friday night he hoped -; to pass over the continent through Dutch Guiana, but if he encountered severe head winds he would have been held back possibly until Satar- day morning before entering South America, BALL KILLS SWALLOW Steep Falls, Me.—A swallow flying over the all diamond during a fame between Biddeford and Seeep led by from the bat of John (Spink) O’Con. nell of Portland, playing for the lo- cal club.

Redfern had mapped out a course which would have placed him in the path of this moderate storm had he followed his schedule. Its intensity, according to the belief of the Miami pilots, led to the con- clusion that Redfern might have been forced from his path and in so do- ing may have made an error in recke oning his position. Faint hopes are entertained here that Redfern, when his gasoline gave out, may have landed on the water or possibly near some island along his route either near the Bahamas or somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. The plane was constructed to keep afloat for a considerable time, and - the chances are declared to be far more favorable for his rescue on the water than, if he had been forced down within the jungles or mountainous toes South America, _ The. thet the plane. was noi sighted™at any ia, ajthoagh ed course lay over a portion of. the Caribbean frequented by stenmers jane over the sea ianes between the two continents, gave rise to the be- lief that Redfern had not proceeded that far on his journey.
