Despite rapidly dwindling hope of the safety of the London-to- Ottawa bound monoplane St. Raphael, with the princess Lowenstein-Wertheim, Capt. Leslie Hamilton and Col. Frederick F. Minchin, an extensive search was under way on land and sea.

Only two slender clues liad been received to bolster the hope of searchers. The Dutch steamer Blijdendijk reported that at 6 a. m- Thursday (Greenwich mean time) its lookout had sighted a white light, probably from a plane, about 400 miles east southeast of New York while the Standard Oil steamer Josiah Macy reported sighting a plane at 9:44 p.m. fGreenwich mean time) Wednesday night 900 to 1100 miles off the Irish coast. Doubt that the light sighted by the Dutch steamer was the St.

Raphael was expressed in view of the distance of the point given from the start of the flight and the elapsed time. Tlie position given w-is nearly 3000 miles from the starting point, and as the light was sighted only 24 hours after its start, it would have had to travel at a tremendou.s speed to get there. Even then its fuel would have been nearly exhausted. The position indicated in the Macy report was half way across the Atlantic and at that point the plane, according to weather reports, would have run into head winds and fog. While some belief was e.xpress«^ that the plane might have been forced down in some spot in Newfoundland or eastern Canada, aviation authorities at Ottawa and in London said they thought the plane had plunged into the ocean with no help at hand.
