BYRD EXPEDITION LANDS IN OOEANj Byrd, AconU, Novllle and Biltlm Far* To Fscc ffHk Death WM> Hterni Rages Over France and M| Monoplane, With Gas Banning Low, Gropes For Landing Field Paris, July 1.?Lost in a dense low hanging tog that enveloped them vir tually from the moment they passed from the ocean into Franco, and with their compass out of order, Command er Richard E. Byrd and his crew of three brought the monoplane a merles down in the sea early today at Ver. Sur-Mer, about 135 miles from Paris. Everybody aboard is safe and re hour battle with the elements. The America, its landing gear broken and otherwise damaged, is anchored to a, boat "200 yards off the beach awaitingj low tide that French naval officers may endeavor to bring her ashore. Just how badly damaged the great monoplane Is cannot be determined until it is brought In. ? m Hews In Air . Advices that the great explorer and his intrepid band were safe brought relief after' an anxious night, during "Wtrtcb the heavens appeared to be trying to literally embrace the earth and rain fell in torrents. It was in., dlcated that they landed in the ocean, at 5:45 o'clock. 43 hours and il min utes from the time they left Rooeevelt1 FJWd, New York, with Paris as thslr goll. Fight With Fog i Battling through a fog that envelop-^ ed them over the ocean for many hours, the airship crew apparently faced death through much of their flight for nearly two days. For hours their only guidance was rddlo bear ing received from land stations an. ships. On three occasions dispatches from the plane said even the wing tips were obscured from the pilot Fssll dm Land? | Rut it was not until the world hall inr -ft>?n"a?"ttew conquerors or thu stormy air lgjies of the North Atlantic j and breathing a sigh of relief that they bad safely passed over the ocean and Jigaln were above land that the | great peril came. A dense fog en-, veloped them. Clouds hung so low I they could not get beneath them toj see the great flares of the landing! field at Le Bourget. Rain fell In tor-* rents. Then their compass failed and J somehow the radio that had guided ' them over the sea failed to function over land.. Receiving stations bearir.r the signals from the monoplane were unable to locato her position, and the ship wandered high In the air like a bird seeking a Pla< e to alight. Passed Over Paris The most critical time of all came when it seemed to all that they must be over Paris searching through the clouds and tog tor the lights of the landing field. Then their signals ceased. At last at 1:26 a. m. came the seaman's call for help, "SOS.". But no one knew where to find them j and help was impossible. Anxious watchers on the ground waited help lessly throughout .the dark hours. The reports from Ver.Sur-Mer In dicate that they were ovkr Parle at 3 o'clock in the morning, and that for ' some reason, as yet unexplained, they turned about and went westward again. The last place the plane was actually seen was at Brest, about 200 miles west of the spot where it came down. That, was at 8:33 p. m., when the French Cable Company announc ed It had clearly seen the distinguish ing marks of the craft All Sorts of Burners After that the air was filled with all sorts of incorrect reports that the j plane had been sighted, even that It 'had landed sgfely at Issy Lea Moultn eaux. The landing at Iesy was an. nounced by Commandant Renvoise ot Le Bourget air field and the prefect of police, who later admitted that their Information was erroneous. The night. was one of the worst ot the season in Parts. Rain fell In tor rents, the clouds hung low and so thickly that the earth was completely i hidden to the men in the plane. Con trary winds whirled gbout, and as hour after honr passed the watchers were, sure the plane had either been forced down or crashed in fields that | surround Pails. Among those who anxiously wait I ed news were Sheldon Whitehouse, Charge d'Afffllres of the American Embassy In the absence of Ambassa dor Herrick; Captain RicUard E. .White, the naval attache; H. A. Gib rsonal representative of Rod man Wanamaker, Backer of the flight, and government officials. Clarence D. Chamberlin, and Chas. A. Levine, who knows the dahgers ot the trans Atlantlc vpyage, also were there Byrd Tells of Landing Ver Sur Mer, France, July 11.?An account of how* the America camep down and how Commander Byrd and ; his three companions got ashore was|t given by the Commander himself to u?t Mathey. a French aviator and Journalist, who Wrought an Associat ed Press correspondent from Paris in an airplane ? .

He said the arrival of the Associated Press] plane woke him up. He was uneasy] about the sack of U.

"Byrd told me that Jtiif bdfOre "the America came down he and his com panions had been turning around and around in the fog - without knowing where they were. Virtually no oil was left and no gasoline. . J "No Choice," Say- Byrd " 'We had no choice but to neck a landing,' said Byrd. 'When w# struck water th?> t?n pf the girpiiny wag tons off together with the landing wheels. rubber boat. We were up to our breasts In water. We got ashore but had no Idea where we were.' "Do you think you'll go to Paris I MM. r - "To tell you the- truth, T doirt anow what We will do." replied Byrd. "Commander Byrd reverting again to his landlhg, said: "We sat'on the beach until 4 ? m, and waited" '00111 the deputy mayor and the Usher man Marl us arrived. *"Th4h while the cuuiiiiander and 1 were talking. M. Bayeux, the assistant prefect, came in and with great se riousness and formality .presented the congratulations ot PresidentDeumer gue, Prime Minister Polncare and the French government." . BALLOON FLIES OVER LOUISBURO Pilot Rasmnssen Files Big Gas Bag From Detroit To Point hear Kin. ston; In Air 25 Hours Goldsboro, July 6.?Strong north winds blew Pilot A. U.
