SECOND PLANE HOPS OFF FOR
ISLAND WITH REPORTERS
AND PHOTOGRAPHER
MONTREAL, April 16. <£>)—Snow
and rain swirled over Newfoundland
today composing a storm barrier thru
which no news penetrated of the Bre
men crew or the Canadian plane which
went to their relief.
Out of the storm drifted rumors.
One reported the crew had left the is
land for the mainland but t$iis was not
confirmed.
It is possible, and it is generally
believed, the aviators had little chance
of reaching the mainland for the time
being.
First details of the flight told of the
crew battling thru a fog until they al
most gave up hope of achieving their
purpose. They then sighted land and
they thought it was Newfoundland.
Their fuel was almost gone when they
landed.
Another plane has left for the island
today with reporters and a photo
grapher.
