The message added that iden tification was satisfactory. Dunedin, New Zealand, Jan. 12. According to reports reach ing Dunedin tonight, the Samoan clipper is still afloat 74 miles due west of Apia, British Samoa. These reports did not mention when the Clipper, missing on a flight toward Auckland, N. Z., was sighted. Around midnight (7:30 a. m. E. S. T.) Apia radioed that all aboard the craft were well. She carried a seven man crew com manded by veteran Transpacific flier, Captain Edwin C. MusickT Because the western Samoan islands under New Zealand mandate are sparsely populat ed and lacking in communica tions equipment, uncertainty as to the clipper's fate was pro longed. It was indicated that the plane could lie in an isolated bay for a long time or taxi a good distance before being sighted. Anxiety prevailing in New Zealand was relieved by the Apia message after earlier reports that the clipper was, sighted at Apia were found to be incorrect.
