Admiral McDonald was the first greet Rodgers. He pumped the flight commander's hand, repeating, “Well, well, well!” “Good evening, governor, I have some mail here for vou people,” Rod gers said to ( . Farrington, reading aloud the inscription on a letter to the governor and handing it and others to_the chief executive. Lieut. Connell, also dr khaki, followed Rodgers down the gangplank, with two chief petty of- ficers, dressed in rumpled blue suits Radio Operator Stantz, in blue dun garees, was close on their heels. On the dock were Mrs. Farrington and her daughter-in-law, who decorated the fiyers with flowers, In the midst of the crowding, jos- tling surge of humanity, the surgeons took charge as soon as the mail w distributed, and bustled America’s latest heroes off to a hospital, In a signed statement sent by radio from the MacDonough Comdr. Rodg- ers previously had related in modest language the history of the flight, the descent to the sea, when both motors falled from an exhausted gasoline supply, the fight against the elements, efforts to sail the craft to an island of the Hawaiian group, and finally of the rescue after 218% hours by the submarine R-4 Lays Failure to Calm. He revealed that failure of the flight was caused by not encountering fa- Yorable winds that had been expected, and that the only miscarriage of plans fas failure to alight near the tender Aroostook “The plane at all times behaved yery well,” said the commander, #peaking of the seaworthiness of the eraft. *“Our only concern was a question of water supply.” That was contrived for in pure Ploneer fashion. “We knew we could get along with- out food, of which we had small emergency rations,” he said. “We were depending upon a small still for water.” It was carried at the behest of the commander’s mother. The small su olv that it provided by being heated with wood from the seaplane's wings was augmented by two gallons caught in the fabric stripped from the lower wings during a rainstorm. ““This enabled us to survive and con- sequently we were in very good con dition when we arrived off Nawili wili.” It was 15 miles from that port that the PN-9, No. 1, was sighted by the R-4 and the flyers, for whom all hope virtually had been abandoned, were rescued An extemporized radio sending set would have solved their problem quickly, sald Comdr. Rodgers, but they could not arrange their set to send more than a few miles. It re- ceived perfectly, however, and the lost flyers were acquainted with the steps in the search for them. “The outstanding feature of the ed in faded pt as it | popu- | Trip in Ice Car Saves the Life of Victim of Heat By the Associated Press.

We were certain that we had beén sighted and would be picked up, as she seemed to be steaming for us, but, after coming on a mile or so, she put about and headed south Again as we neared the shore of Oahu, which we er sighted, we saw two planes, but just as they were about to approach us they, too, turned back.

But 'twas here Rodgers showed his stuff. He joshed us along, kidding us, and said, ‘Hell, boys, we might be worse off than this; why, I once knew a man who was adrift with nothing but a log under him for 15 days.’ “We drifted for two more days, I think, when a rainstorm struck us. It was then we managed to get our first drop of really fresh water. We put out a bucket. overside and spread our fabric to catch it. Big boy, it certalply felt good and tasted good Were Without Food. In answer to questions about food, Bowlin said: “We hadn't any; we ate 'most everything we had the first two days. Water was all we had to keep us alive for eight days of the time we were adrift.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, |LACK OF WIND DEFEATED PLANE IN HAWAII FLIGHT, RODGERS SAYS Failure to Find Air Tender Was Only Hitch in Plans, Commander Avers—Crew Sailed Craft With Jury Rig 400 Miles. BY COMMANDER JOHN RODGERS, U. 8. N.,, Commander seaplane PN No. 1. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, September 12.—For the benefit of the interested public, I desire to make at this time a definite statement of facts in regard to the ge of the PN-9 No. 1 from San ncisco to Nawiliwill. Other state- ments heretofore published by the press are unauthorized by me. The PN-9 No. 1 and No. 3 left San Francisco approximately at the same time on August 31, No. 3 leading by about 20 minutes. The PN-9 No. 3 was not sighted by No. 1 after the de- parture. Plane PN-9 No. 1 proceeded as per instructions, sailing on a straight course to Kahului. The wind out of San Francisco wa very light from the northwest, grad- ually hauling to the north. The igation was done entirely by dead reckordng, no attention being paid to radio bearings. We flew between 200 and 400 feet below the clouds during the night, the being thickly over cast and all destroyers were picked up as expected at a distance easily visi- ble from the PN-9, while at the same time the plane was easily visible from the destroyers. Engine Worked Perfectly. The engine worked perfectly and there were no slgns of leaks or any other trouble. The wind changed to northeast as expected about 600 miles from San Francisco, but was much lighter than had been hoped for. In the morning it became evident that the gasoline supply was running short and it would be doubtful if we could reach Kahului, due to the fact that expected favorable winds were not en- countered. About noon we declded that our gasoline supply would carry us about midway between- the Aroos. took and the Tangler, respectively, the next to the last and the last station ship. I therefore decided to land at Aroostook, which is a fully equipped airplane tender. ‘We still had plenty of gasoline to land, refuel and take off agpin for Honolulu. This was in accordance ‘¥ith the pre-arranged plans to meet the situation with which we were agreed on approaching the Aroostook. We received radio bearings from her, indicating that we were south of her and that on reaching a point where I thought she should e visible nd not belng able to see her, we changed our course to approach on these bearings. It became evident that she would not be found on this course. I started to write a message which would give her some clue to our whereabouts, but just then the gasoline gave out. Both engines were cut out simultaneously and we started to glide from about 800 feet. Made Beautiful Landing. Lieut. Connell, who had the con- tacts, made a_beautiful landing in the heavy swells, both engines being dead, having no power. Due to total diture of gasoline we could not and were therefore out of communieation at twilight. I deter- mined our position to be 50 miles north of the Aroostook's station. We rigged a radio antenna on the plane and recelved without much difficulty everything that was in the alr. We safled before the wind, endeavoring to the plane in toward the 2 Islands, hoping to make We made 50 miles a day, that an average of 2 miles an hour, although the plane appeared to be making much better speed. We cut the fabric from the lower wing and rigged a foresail. Weather conditions were moderate, although during the afternoon the seas we high. The plane at all times beh very well. After the first day we felt sure that unless the weather ch very much for the worse we | make Oahu, or, failing that, we would certainly be able to make Kauai. Our only concern was a question of water supply. We knew we could get along without food, of which we had s emergency rations. We were depend ing on a small water still for water. Burned Wings for Still. This supplied water, but the plane still required gasoline as fuel. We managed to get the still going on the sixth day by burning wood from the trailing edges of the lower wings. On the seventh day we made a canteen and a half of water in about five hours. The water in the radiators of the engines was undrinkable, due to being impregnated with a patent solu- tion to prevent leaks. We managed to make our small original supply of wa- ter, about two canteens a man, stretch over seven days. On the eighth day a heavy rain squall passed over us and we caught about two gallons in the fabric which had been cut from the lower wings. This enabled us to survive and consequently we were In very good conditlon when we arrived off Nawiliwili All during the trip we realized that an extemporized radio sending set would solve our difficulties in a few hours by giving our position to the searching ships, We tried rigging one up, but were unable to make one which worked a sufficient distance. The 1« ~er, as 1 have said, func- tioned pertectly all the time. We knew just what was golng on about us. Crossing the steamer lane from Honolulu to the coast a steamer cross- ed our bow about five miles ahead, in the early morning. Due particularly to the fact that the sun was low and directly in the eyes of observers we were not seen. Saw Oahu Island. On the 7th, Lieut. Connell devised leeboards, which enabled us to crab off the wind about 15 degrees, and were of great assistance to us in get- ting across Kauai Channel. Without them we could not have made Kaual. We passed Oahu about 40 miles dis tance, the island being clearly vistble, the afternoon of the 8th, and headed and close-hauled for Kaual. We had reached a noint about 15 miles of Nawiliwili, and were trying to signal that port when we were sighted by the patroling submarine, 10 miles off Nawiliwill, were taken in tow and towed into the harbor, where the whole island population was out to re- celve us. The most exciting part of the whole journey was getting the plane anchor- ed safe in the harbor of Nawiliwili. Finally' we got it well secured in a safe place and went ashore. We were taken care of by the good people of the island, who Insisted on treating us as invalids, whereas, as a matter of fact, we were in very good shape and perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves. y The outstanding feature of ‘the trip was that there was no failure of mate- rial at any time either in the air or the water. We believe that the PN-9 is a great plane in the alr, capable of maintaining itselt on the surface NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS To avoid omission in receiv- ing The Star when changing address give at least two days’ advance notice.

The morale of the crew was high, They were always cheerful and worked with as much energy as if they had been getting a full ration every day. As a matter of fact it appears from what we heard after our arrival that we were the least concerned people in the world as to our safety. It should be understood that the flight was planned to be a non-stop flight if favorable winds were found. In event that we struck an unfavor- able wind it was planned that we should refuel from a station ship along the route and retake off for Hawail. Che only miscarriage of the plan was due to our failure to find the Aroostock, the ship we had selected to refuel from, having passed close above all other sta'ion ships en route. The PN-9 was sailed under a fabric jury rig approximately 400 miles safely to port, and secured before any of her crew left her. Supported by Chiefs. I wish to say finally that as Hawallan flight commander 1 was fully supported by the units of the Navy chiefly concerned, as follows: First, the Secretary of the Navy personally issued orders to the Bureau of Navigation to spare no expense or effort to glve me everything that was needed for the unit. Second, the Bureau of Aeronautics complied” with every request made upon them by me. Third, my immediate senior, my commander, Capt anford E. Mose: carried in ‘detail complete plans for upport “of the flight and gave me ev opportunity to make Sugges- tions. RODGERS MADE SPOKESMAN. Crew Picks Skipper of PN-9, No. 1, to Tell Their Story. LIHUE, Island of Kauai, T. H September 12 (#).—The decision to have Comdr. John Rodgers issue an official statement of the events of the flight of the PN-9, No. 1, was made ving & confrence of the seaplane" as Rodgers and Lieut. Con- nell had both been deluged with offer for “exclusive stories.” The five men who had made the flight and had been rescued after flont- ing on the Pacific for more than nine days agreed that the story of thelr ex perience belonged to the whole world if the world wanted it, and they de- cided that Comdr. Rodgers should be their spokesman Told Story in Bed. The commander told the story while stretched out on a bed aboard the destroyer MacDonough, en route from Nawlliwili to Pearl Harbor, relating it to a stenographer whose notes were quickly transcribed and sent out from the radio room. Rodgers’ narrative was given halt- ingly at times. Just as “the skipper had talked many, many times during the long nights adrift,” he groped for words and ideas. They came hard, but he kept on despite the physician's warning, “don’t talk too much.” Among numerous details and inci dents of which he told it seemed that the crew felt most keenly a shortage of tobacco. “Our cigarettes ran out too quickly,” he said, “until among the five men we only had three cigars left. One was lighted and the lighter would take a few puffs and then hand it up on a wire so that the next man could take some ‘drags.’ " Asked First for Cigarettes. In this manner the five smoked up last of their tobacco. The first thing the rescued flvers asked for of their plane was Another incident related by Comdr. Rodgers was of their fear that the plane would strike a reef and stave in its hull, which would force them to take to the water to swim ashore, and he said, “We wanted to step ashore from our plane.

By the Associated Press NEWARK, N. J., September 12. With _four indictments returned in New Jersey against Harrison W. Noel, lawyer’s son and confessed murderer and kidnaper of 6-year-old Mary Daly, the resignation 1s sought of Dr. John W. Thompson, senior physician of the Overbrook (N. J) Asylum for Defec- tives, from which Noel escaped two months ago. The demand is made by the Essex County board of freeholders, which declares Dr. Thompson granted a virtual parole to Noel without knowledge or consent of his superfor. Noel was indicted yesterday at Paterson for the murder of the girl and the shooting of John Sandin, chauffeur, who gave chase after the abduction. A few days ago he was indieted in Newark for the abduction of the girl and the murder of Ray- mond Plerce, negro taxicab driver, whose automobile he seized for the kidnaping. Action by the two grand juries was necessitated by the differ- ent localities of the crimes. It {s expected sanity proceedings will start shortly after Noel's arraign- ment on the Indictments. Another New Jersey kidnaping has developed with the arrest of Lawrence Wright, a negro, at Warrens Point. He was found walking in the woods with Emile Scarpa, 6-year-old white orphan gi and was accused of taking the girl from her grandmother’s home in a taxicab. The girl was unharmed. Wright was released last June from the State prison at Trenton after serv- ing five vears. He sald he was given permission to take the child for a walk. Wright pleaded gullty to kidnaping, however, when arralgned in Paterson today. He was held without bafl for the grand jury.
