SEATTLE, Sept. 16 (U.R) Long given up as lost in the' silent vastness of the north Pacific, Don Moyle and Cecil Allen, Tokio - Seattle fliers, made known their presence on an isolated island in Bering Sea today. Details were meager and resources resourc-es of the army and navy communication, communi-cation, systems were devoted to an attempt to learn more, but a radio message intercepted here carried the news that the fliers had not gone down in the Pacific as feared, but had strayed off their course and landed on an island. The radio, addressed to Frances Bresson, Moyle's fiancee, at Arlington, Arling-ton, Calif., was sent out by the navy radio station on St. Paul's island, is-land, in the Probiloff group. It was relayed by the navy radio at Cordova Cor-dova and intercepted here by the harbor radio. ' "Landed on uninhabited island okay. Be in Seattle September twenty second. Love. Don." That was all. Silence Since Sept. 7 And it was the first word hoard of the fliers since an hour after they left Sabishiro Beach, Japan, September 7, on their projected non-stop flight to Seattle, a distance dis-tance of approximately 4,500 miles. The message did not name the island or give its location, but the coast guard ordered its Bering sea patrol to investigate and attempt at-tempt to get more information on the safety of the fliers. |
