NEW YORK, Sept. 7. (/P)—Wireless SOS from the
monoplane Old Glory, piloted by Lloyd Bertraud, were
sent out during the early morning hours of darkness
when she was apparently some 500 miles east northeast of
the tip of Newfoundland on the trip from Old Orchard to
Rome. Liners and warships are racing to her assistance.
The cry for help as picked up by several ships and re
layed to the radio corporation of America was sent at 8:30
Greenwich time.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7. (/P)—Jack Mc
Cann, a sparring partner of Jack
Dempsey peppered the former champ

day, making the ex-champ look rath

SEARCH IS FRUITLESS
Beyond the fact the crew of three
adventurous aviators were in the gTip
of some tragedy over the trackless
wastes of water no details were given.
Within a few minutes of the receipt
of the SOS several ships were obey
ing the immutable law of the seas and
were rushing under full steam towards
the estimated position. The liner
Transylvania, westward bound, ap
peared to be nearer than any other
ship; the steamer was then 83 miles
away. A collapsible rubber lifeboat,
an emergency pump valve in the gaso
j line tanks, and a supply of flares
rockets, is said by aviation officials,
as basis for the belief the occupants
of the plane have a chance of saving
themselves if they were forced down.
The Transylvania later reported
reaching the position where the Old
Glory* was thought to have come down
and searched a 30 mile area without
results. Captain Bone said he was
proceeding further with the search.
GOOD LUCK TOKEN
NEW YORK, Sept. 7. {/P)—Aviator
Bertrand, in the plane Old Glory,
