By his pre-flight computations, Redfern today should be northeastern part of Brazil, already across Dutch Guiana and blazing a range, one peak, litself 8,600 feet in height and Red- | fern must put these crests below and behind him before he can cross the great continental plain, with its vast unexplored morasses and jungles. | It“was here that Redfern was ex- pected to make his choice of ob- i jectives — 1f unforeseen circum- | stances had not already landed him !at Para. If his great Stinson-Detroit- er monoplane is still whirring har- moniously and his fuel supply has not been depleted when he strikes mountain ranges, his course will take him zooming to Rio. If his judgment labels that too great a task for his motor's and his own endurance, he will swing eastward into an arc that will bring him up at Pernambuco. Redfern's ambitious effort, if Rio De Janeiro were reached would carry him approximately 3,783 miles south of Brunswick and about 2,640 miles east of it. The monoplane was not charted to travel over the hy- pothenuse of the triangle thus formed, but over the great circle, a distance much further, which has been calculated at 4,600 miles. By the Assnciated Press. Bushwick, Ga., Aug. 27.—The Caribbean sea alone knows the whereabouts of Paul Redfern, Pan- American flyer, bound from Bruns- wick to Brazil. No direct word has been heard from him since he took off from here at 12:46 o'clock Thursday afternoon. A radio message from Nassau, picked up at St. Petersburg, Fla., Isaid Redfern’'s monoplane, the Port of Brunswick, had been sighted 300 miles east of the Bahamas Islands by a steamship yesterday afternoon. This report, unconfirmed from any other source, placed him from 400 to 600 miles out, and indicated that he was holding his course. No Word For Day More than 36 hours of silence have intervened since that time, however, despite the fact that ships at sea and islands had been asked to report it his plane were sighted. 1f the young pilot had maintained | his schedule as mapped out before he left Brunswick he should have been over Dutch Guiana last night. Redfern would have passed Porto Rico Thursday night and passed over the the Caribbean during the remainder of the night.. Daybreak George, Grenada Island, or Tobacco Island. Dr. Frederick C. Redfern, dean of Benedict college, Columbia, 8. C., who came here to help his son map his course, said that after passing the Grenadines and “while flying 50 miles east of Trinidad Isle and Gceorgetown, British Guiana, to Point St. Andrews and well beyond Dutch Guiana, he passed through greater belts of calms, where severe thunder storms, cyclones and hurricanes' oc- | cur almost daily.” Many Unknown Areas The unexplored highlands of Guiana also lay between him and his | tirst objective, Macapa, on'the north- {ern estuary of the Amazon river, At | this place, Where the equator crosses the great stream, he was to decide { whether to turn east to Recife (Per- nambuco) or continue on to Rio de Janeiro. > Redfern expected to make flight in 50 hours from Brunswick, which would place him at his destination early Saturday night, if he were able to maintain his advance schedule. The profound silence that has sur- rounded her husband on his haz- {ardous flight has increased the |anxiety of his young wife. Friends with whom she is stopping comfort- ed her by suggesting that a great portion of the first leg of the 4,600~ mile flight lay outside regular steam- ship lanes and that. as Redfern en- | tered more traveled lanes in the Caribbean sea, he probably would ifly at such a high altitude that hi motor would be unheard and the plane would be invisible in the tropi- cal darkness. xperts Doubtful Naval men said that if Redfern rcached . his objective it would be little short of a miracle. They es- timated he wouldd miss his objec- tive at Rio de Janeiro by about 450 ,milfls. as theq did not believe his {gasoline supply would last more !than 57 hours, while with favorable conditions it would take 62 hours to reach his goal. They believe when he reaches the northwestern coast of Brazil he will turn east to Pernam- buco. Redfern, in referring to his flight called it the Brunswick-to-Brazil flight, and said that when he reached the Amazon river he would check his gasoline supply whether he would change his course to Pernambuco or keep on to Rlo. The fact that Redfern will be in contact with land during most of his flight, naval men point out, is in his favor, as he will be aided In keep- ing his course at night by naviga- tion lights on the network of islands over which he {s flving. He will be assisted also by ship lights, as- his course carries him over the United States-South American ship lanes in which there are numerous shipping board vess Hazards Many Not discounting the hazards he faced, Redfern left prepared for any eventuality, but at the same time ex- pressed confidence that he would reach Brazil.

CATULDAY, AJGUST 27, 1927, GREATEST BATTLE OF GOLF WORLD EXPECTED TODAY (Conginued From First Page) first amateur tournament and on this course, in the same year, he won the national open. Chick's next amateur victory came in 1920 and Francis Ouimet, the man Bobby beat 11 and 10 in the semi-finals yesterday, Evans’ finalist opponent. Evans was last a finalist in 1922 when Jess Sweetser beat him. Bobby's amateur championships were won in 1924 and 1025 against George Von Elm, 1926 title holder, and Watts Gunn respectively. Von Elm beat Jones in the finals at Bal- tusrol last year and Jones lost his| to Dave| first championship test Herron in 1919. Of the fourth round matches yes- terday, Evans and Mackensie's wa probably the most interesting. Jones had a lead of eight up when he and Ouimet stopped for lunch. Bobby didn’'t do as well on the last eight holes as he had on the first round, going over par twice and not re- peating the birdies sessfon. Quimet was tired, however, and he couldn’t improve. He took six on the second hold to Jones par four and five on the seventh, again one over Jones' par. They halved the eighth in fours and the match was over. Mackenzie was one up on Chick at luncheon, but the older man squared on the first hole They continued, neither hav- ing more than one hole advantage. Roland evened the score at the 33rd for the last time. The next three were halved. Both drove evenly on the 37th but Roland’s pitch was six feet the bet- ter. Evane’ ball landed 20 feet from the cup. He approached it casually and tapped it straight for the hole. It seemed to the gallery that it took hours for the little sphere to go that 20 feet. The ball had just momen- tum enough to get to the cup, but it trickled in. Ronald made a hard tr ball stopped six inches hole.
