sea last night Harry Brooks was piloting it to was found partly submerged a half mile oft shore near here Such a stiff wind was that it was believed there was little chance that it could ered tonight Three seaplanes from Miami sighted the diminutive airplane about noon and Major M K and Captain Harry who were in the planes said they plainly made out the ana also the number Later two fishermen went out in a and tried to throw a lope over the but the rough sea forced them to put back The planes reported that the tail only was above water but tlie fishermen said it was the tip of a wing that could be seen The sea was so muddy that even the men could not make out the pit C F of the Ford branch at said Brooks was strapped m the plane when he left Titusville late and would be found still fastened to it The fishermen expressed the ion however that the body was not in the cock although they could not be certain The after finding the flivver went on to Fort Pierce to send a flat boat back in an fort to recover the it was be- that it would take several hours to get a boat liere from Fort however Fishermen said that due to the direction of the wind and tide it was feared the plane would be ried out to sea unless recovered in a short time On the other the turn of the tide might bring it to shore late tonight or early morrow who had made a distance record for planes of 40 horsepower or less in his flight from Detroit which ended at instead of as because of a leaking gasoline had been held at Titusville by a broken propeller for several days He took off from Titusville late yesterday to complete his hop to Miami and about dusk was seen oft apparently seeking a place to land Persons along the beach saw the head out to sea a short dip and then recover itself momentarily Then it seemed to dip into the water It was not certain for several hours that it was Brooks but as the night wore along and he did not arrive at or report from certain that it was the Ford flivver some other watchers became plane that had been seen go down Melbourn is on an airplane between Titusville and Miami The small plane appeared to have been kept from going to the bottom by its relative combined with whatever was plied by the partly empty gasoline How long it thus could be kept buoyed was a matter of con- jecture A strong ebb tide was indicating that the disabled machine might be carried far to sea before a boat of sufficient iness could reach it There were no here cient to cope the rough ing rescuers to turn to Fort Pierce miles south of for a tug Its equipment of derrick and grapples was thought to be necessary to cure the foundered plane in view of the fishermen's failure to attach a line to the wing to bring it ashore At the time it was the diminutive craft already had ed some 12 or 14 miles down the coast from the spot where it seen to fall into the sea on page Weather Indications Body Has to Dispose Even One of the Most Im- portant Questions Feb 26 Although at the half
