Flyers Smile Goodbys As I bade them good luck en leaving, both Williams and Yancey had broad smiles on their faces and they grasped their hands as if in a handshake and waved goodby to me.

On my return I bucked headwinds. I was figuring on landing at Old Orchard, but I could not get weather reports on conditions there from the patrol boats and finally Gloucester base Informed me that the conditions and vlsability were good here. I headed direct here hut my fuel started to run low with the headwinds. Ascertaining my position to be near the Boston Lightship I discerned fishing schooner and came down with enough gas supply to give me control of the amphibian. I hailed the schooner and went alongside and asked the skipper to give me a tow to the lightship about 10 miles away, which he very kindly did.

borrowed 20 gallons of gas from the keeper of the lightship and made my return to the base.

Rumors persisted In Madrid today that Ramon Franco, Spanish flyer, may be disciplined for alleged disobedience of orders In making his recent transatlantic hopoff In the Domler IS, but the Government Is withholding comment. The authorities would not reveal that any formal charges had been preferred, but it was reported Cpl Kindelan, chief of the Air Service, considered hit orders were not obeyed when Franco took off in the Domler instead of the Xumancla, his original plane, and when he hopped off at an unexpected time, minus some of the equipment the air authorities prescribed.

CONNECTICUT PLANE CRASH BLAMED ON EMPTY TANK NEW PRESTON, Conn. July 8 (A. An empty gaaollne tank waa blamed today for a 200-foot nose dive which yesterday carried an air mall pilot and a 19-year-old youth to their deaths. The plane wee an old one that Gordon Spencer Whlttley, 19. of Kearny, had bought for 1500 and reconditioned himaelf.

He had rebuilt the motor and relined and reooated the fuselage. Yesterday Gordon and Martin F. Brown. 34, of New Brunswick, who recently married Gordons sister, Eleanor, took off from Metropolitan Airport, Newark, to visit Gordons brother, Philip, and hla Sunt, Mrs Oscar Swanson. Philip Whlttley saw the plane come Into view and cruise about as if In search of the Lake Waramaug Field here, he said.

He signaled the wind direction and the location of the field. The plane banked to the left. The fuel supply gave out then. It la thought by Clarence M. Knox, State Aviation Commissioner, and George D.

Pranitls, State aviation inspector, who in their inquiry noted the empty tank. The ship went into a nose dive, with no power to right lta course. It burled its nose In the ground. Brown and Whlttley were dead when they were removed. CITY HALL FIRE PUT OUT BEFORE ANY DAMAGE DONE A small blase, discovered In the sub-basement of the City Hall shortly after the building waa closed last night, waa extinguished by Robert F.

Brennan, superintendent of the Fire Department garages and others before damage could be done. Discovery of the lira waa made by patrolman Thomas Brown on duty in the Hall at the time The patrolmans prompt work In summoning Superintendent Brennan gava the fire Uttle tart and it waa put out with the aid of six fire extinguishers. Bob McHugh, Mayor Nicbol'a chauffeur, assisted. It la believed that men. repairing a boiler In the aub-baaement, caused the blaze when their acetylene torches ignited a pile of rubbish.

Rescue Was Planned He arrived hers as preparations were under way to send a rescue plane out searching for him and his two companions, W. R. Kenley, warrant machinist, and A.

G. Descoteaux, warrant radio operator. There is no question in my mind but that the Pathfinder, piloted by Roger Williams and navigated by Capt Lewis Yancey, will land safely In Rome by Wednesday morning, Lieut Melka said at Ten Pound la land on his return. As the last man to eee or to be In communication with the Home; hound aviators, Lieut Melka gave a detailed description of the start of the Pathfinders flight. Several times Melka departed from hla do Ecriptlon to express hla admiration for the superb manner In which the pair controlled their Bellancft monoplane.

Made Survey tor Flyers Lieut Melka left Old Orchard Beach about 8 oclock this morning and went out on a coastal exploration trip to ascertain the height and density of the fog and weather and wind conditions at various altitudes off the beach. Satisfied with the conditions, he returned and dropped a special container in which was a message to Williams and Yancey informing them that the conditions were good and giving them data regarding the fog and wind. For three-quarters of an hour he soared around the beach until the Pathfinder took off. Then he took up his official duties aa escort. As soon as I saw Roger and Lon were up I watched them closely until they reached about 400 or 500 feet," he said.

They were well off shore, but did not seem to be getting much altitude, so they made a wide circle outside of the beach and when they made 800 altitude, Williams swung the Pathfinder out onto its plotted course. Flying Boat Turns Back Due to the fog increasing in height aa they went eastward, the Pathfinder had to continually climb until it reached 2000. The Savoia-Marcbetti was in escort with my plane and when It reached a point about 50 mllea out, the flying boat bid adieu to the boys and tufned back. I brought the amphibian up closer, within about 300 yards and when we were about 60 miles out, the fog became heavier. Roger nosed hla plane upward until he reached 3000 and he kept right on course under the guidance of Yancey.

When wa were out about 75 miles I crept in closer so as to get tha prearranged K.K. signal from them.

Yancey saw me coming in and he opened his window, stuck his head out and waved his handkerchief to me, thus informing me that both he and Williams were satisfied with tha action of tha monoplane. Fog Again 100 Miles Out 'Despite" tha fact that I had received the signal I kept abreast of them. About 100 miles out tha fog rapidly grew higher and so I decided to stay with them, because there was no telling what emergency might crop up under such a condition. But there waa no need of me, for Williams brought tha Pathfinder up to about 4200 with great ease, displaying hla wonderful ability aa a pilot. On -this level, the plane was then about 500 to 1000 feet above the fog.

Everything was perfect, and Just as they calculated for they flew into a tailwind of about 35 miles an hour. When I left them about 10:15 at a point 125 miles out, the Pathfinder was sailing along beautifully at an air speed of 120 miles an hour, the tailwind working to the advantage of William and Yancey. This tailwind will prove to be a wonderful faetx in the success of the trip as it will lower their gas consumption and give them greater mile AMUSEMENTS mmm No Eoslter Coal SbMfUM promts ADOLPHE MENJOU la hla first aH-talking bit FASHIONS IN LOVE featuring the bright stage stare FAY COMPTON and MIRIAM SCEGAR la the newest ot smart emnediee!

A hasty summons brought a towing truck, which removed the car, but meanwhile the tide had turned, threatening to cover the ruuway before the plane could take off. Williams borrowed a plane that had been brought over from the Portland Airport and taxied the length or the beach for an examination of the runway.
