The PN-10 left the water with ap- parent ease, and the two ships head- ed for the coast, the PN-10 flving at about a 400-foot level, with the escort on a parallel course, about 200 feet higher. Shortly 'after leaving the station the two planes plunged into rolling clouds of fog. As the fog thickened, Lieut. Thomas signaled the reporter and shouted, “Looks bad!” Twice the PN-10 disappeared in the mist, reappearing as the escort ship prepared to swing out and avoid pos- sible collision.
