Changing of Course Told by Wireless
Wireless reports from two ocean steamers today indicated that the trans Atlantic monoplane Yellow Bird was faring well on its air road from the United States to France. The Niagara reported that at 6 A M New York time it was in communication with the plane and all was well. The Laconia picked up the plane three hours later and received the same encouraging report. The Yellow Bird was between 200 and 400 miles northeast of the Azores when she spoke to the Niagara, and 700 miles northeast of the islands when she spoke to the Laconia. The plane gave no position, and as it has a radio range of 600 miles its exact location could not be plotted. Earlier Rochambeau had said the plane would take the southern route via the Azores and Portugal, suggesting it was somewhere between the Azores and the mainland when it contacted the two steamers. The Yellow Bird said it was taking the southern route due to high gasoline consumption. It did not mention its fuel supply in later communications, leading to the assumption that tanks were being checked. The crew includes Jean Assolant, 24, pilot. Rene Le Fevre, 24, navigator. Armeno Lotti, 31, sponsor and radio man. The story continues on another page.
