The World Awaits News
of Miss Earhart’s Plane
An entire world is awaiting with
breath-taking interest the result of
the greatest rescue expedition in
flying history that is searching for
Amelia Earhart and her companion,
Frederick Noonan, in the remote
South Seas between Honolulu and
Australia.
Miss Earhart took off from Lea,
New Guinea, at 10 a. m. Friday, her
next stopping pace to be Howland,
a small Island one-half mile long
and a mile wide in the Mid-Pacific
Ocean. The distance to be covered
was 2,570 miles, and it was conced
ed to be the most hazardous lap of
her round-the-world flignj. Ac 3
p. m. Miss Earhart reported by
wireless that she was flying at an
altitude of 7,000 feet, and at a
speed of 161 miles per hour. A
later message said that she had only
a half hour’s supply of fuel, and
that no land was in sight. She
evidently had overshot the tiny coral
island on the daring oversea flight.
Since then there has been no news
from her plane except unintelligible
radio messages that may or may not
indicate that she is still above water.
She is believed to have been forced
down at sea somewhere near How
land, and the only hopes of rescue
is that she is on some small island.
Several near-by ships are racing to
the indicated position, which is
1,800 miles from Honolulu.
Miss Earhart left Oakland, Cal.,
May 21, to fly around the world on
an equatorial trail of more than
27,000 miles. She made the stop
ping points in relatively leisurely
stages. On June the Ist she was in
Miami. Leaving there, she flew
along the eastern coast of South
America, across Africa and India,
then to Australia and New Guinea.
She left New Guinea for Howland,
where she disappeared. If she had
landed on Howland, only one other
stopping place, Honolulu, was be
tween her and the end of of her
journey, Oakland, Cal.

CHAPTER SIX— EVIL SPIRITS
At the beginning of the sixth
chapter of Eddie Rickenbacker’s
“Ace Drummond,” Universal air ad
venture film at the Roosevelt on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Billy taps
the inside of the urn with a metal
bar. The loud clanging noise makes
the superstitious natives fear evil
spirits. They drop the sandblaster
and run. Billy jimmies the door
and frees Peggy, who has found her
father’s diary. They start home and
hear shots. Bauer, lying in the
road, gasps out “Tell Ace Drum
mond that Henry Kee—” He never
finishes the sentence. Peggy rushes
to tell Ace, just as Kee arrives.
Billy recognizes his car as the one
that fled from the shooting. Ace
and Jerry go to the Lama who have
him translate Chinese code messages
in Trainor’s diary. While Chang
Ho, the translator, is decoding mes
sages, he is overcome by poisonous
fumes. A mysterious hand tears a
page from the book. Ace rushes in
to the smokefilled room and collaps
es in the fumes.
