The lumber caught the sun and secied to the naked eye from 30 miles anay to be bright garnishings, such as the mirage ship might wear, The binoes ulars dispelled the notion, The ship bore not liquor and love, hut hard wood and toil, While the alrplane was making its unofticial survey of the sca, the Coast Guard cutter Seneca, plodding along At eight knots, kept up the search it began yesterday for the mirage ship which was reported to be lying miles off ire Island, Up to late last night the Seneca was still looking, without success, finding that to locate a needlo in a haystack is easy compared to picking up a mirage ship on the Atlantie, Incoming liners, the Volendam of the Holland-America line, and the California of the Anchor line, report- ed passing the vague spot described as the mirage ship's position without viewing anything approaching a 1 000 ton ocean liner. Capt. Blaikie, master of the Cali- fornia, sald he was surprised to go past Rum Row and not notice a sin- gle liguor-running schooner, He of- fered the opinion that the ship is a myth, as to support it would require $2,000 a day. Capt. Dejong, of the Volendam, said he had had radio reports of the mirage ship and had kept a sharp lookout for her coming Into port. He saw no such ship, he said. All Craft Plainly Visible, A steam yacht bound for New York was the first vessel picked up by the ebserver in the airplane after it left Rockaway oPint. Tt was 25 miles out. Off Jones' Inlot, about 14 miles off Fire Island Inlet the lum- her vessel was seen. A short dis- alr small o tance farther eastward a tugboat was | sighted. West of Fire Tsland, well out to sea, three small steamships of Long Island’s Rum Row were seen lying motionless. The flight covered 70 miles of coast- line and included the region of the &ea described as the cruising ground of the mirage ship.
