A more bizarre alignment never occurred in naval history. The commander and crew ©of the seaplane PN-9 No. 1, which ®oared into the Pacific ten days ago, were transferred in safety to the submarine R-4, and the merry com- pany at once headed for Honolulu with the undamaged seaplane in tow of the submarine. The herolc sky-pllots, thought to have perished, are alive and well; the lost have been found; and the nation, which had sorrow- fully regretted the human sacrific: of Commander Rodgers and his four men in the ill-starred attempt | to fly to Hawail, today rejoices in | the happy outcome, the safe arrival in a port of call. The rescue was in the nick of time; tew days more and the! intrepid airmen would have toppled over from hunger and exhaustion. Today they are happy and incline te joke about the experience, and | with the courageous spirit of the navy personnel, are ready for the| next flight wherever the powers that be may direct. Hope had been all but abandoned by the observing citizens at home, but the sea-wasps of the tinued combing the blue expanse of the Pacific around the Hawailan | islands. The rescue v d and a thrilling climax. The men are to be congratulated upon being brought buck to the fold, and the mation s to be congratulated upon retaining this heroic and crew within the living. o unexpecte RECOGNIZING THE PRESS AT C.
