RAPHAEL Eear Plane Has Dropped Into Atlantic Ocean On Flight Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 3—(INS) —The' ' airplane St. Rapheal and its three daring occupants, dropped today into the limbo of the missing. Despite reports from two Trans-At-! lantic vessels that the light of an airplane had been sighted overhead far ’ out at sea Wednesday night, no further word came today which might definitely indicate the fate of Cantain Leslie Hamilton, Lieut. Col. F. F. Minch in and the princess Lowen- ‘ stein-Wertheim, who left Upavon, Eng--1 land early Wednesday morning in an attempt to fly across the ocean. If the reports that a plane's beacon was seen are authentic, it would ap- ! pear that the St. Rapheal kept to schedule during the first half of its flight across the ocean, then flew far off its course. What is believed to have been ] the last trace of the missing plane was seen several hundred miles southeast of New’ York City, a point far away from the course the aviators intendI cd to fly to Ottawa. Canadian officials searching for the plane have been informed by the British air ministry that a light was seen , midway across the Atlantic on Wed- ! nesday night by the German-American j oil tanker Josiah Ma®. The spot where the glow was seen in the sky was in latitude 53.15 and Longitude . 29.45, indicating that the St. Rapheal ( had safely negotiated the first half . of its trip across the Atlantic. Word of sighting the plane's light I was contained in a wireless message picked up from the Josiah Macy by the Irish broadcasting company. The other report, emanating from . Halifax, stated that the Dutch steamship Blijdendijk had seen the light .. Os ;j..nlane at 8 M. T. Wedn. sday at latitude 39.28 north and lo:iI gitude 64.3 west, a point 420 miles . southeast of New York City, and far I off the plane's course. Meanwhile, with fiopes of the fliers being found alive decreasing hourly, • every agency at the command of Cana- • da was being pressed in the search tor ■ the fliers. Althrongh the night. Radio ; stations throughout the Dominion hum I med with broadcasts seeking to pick up some word of the Princess and her . two companions, but without success The hope still pfesists that the fliers may have been able to make a safe landing at some isolated spot in Canada or Newfoundland, and that the'" emergency rations will keep them alive for several days, or on the other I hand, if the St Rapheal was forced to : descend at sea, the hope is held out j that the collapsible rubber lifeboat ! carried by the fliers w'ill keep them 1 afloat until rescued by some ship. Mrs. Hamilton, wife of the St. Rapheal's pilot, has not given up hope for the safety of her husband and his two companions. She made the following statement to International News Service: “I still have the highest hope- There is reaWy so little one can say when everybody brings such gloomy messages. yet I am sure that Leslie will be found. I have done nothing but wait since early Thursday, and It is hard for me to see things properly’. “But I am just bucking my knowledge of Leslie’s ability and Col. Minchin's record against tremendous odds. 1 know what these men are like when they are in a tight corner, and it is that which makes me so confident. o Asks Heavy Damages Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 3—(UP) — Damages of $75,000 are asked of the Chicago, Indianapolis, and Louisville railroad in a suit filed here by Henry I Spriggs. A truck driven by’ Spriggs . was struck by a train at a local crossing June 30, 1926. He alleges that as a! I result of injuries his right shoulder' and hand are paralyzed.
