" TWO LARGE FLYING BOATS CROSS ATLANTIC SWIFTLY News-Observer '? ? The Norbh Atlantic was span ned by two commercial flying boats yesterday as pioneers in continent-to-continent air service [or passengers, mail and express. The 19-ton British Imperial Airways airplane Caledonia strea ked across the ocean east to west in the official t<ime of 15 hours, 28 minutes. A tail wind helping it, the Pan American.Clipper III, United Stat es flying boat of 22 3-4 tons, i crossed^in the opposite direction in 12 iiours, 29 minutes, the offic- j ial time. The starting points and termi- 1 ni of the long over-water ' hops were-'Botwood, Nfd., and Foynes, Irish Free State, separated by al most ?,000 milfs of often turbu lent water and freakish weather born in the Arctic. . " - j , Great .Trip "It was a great' trip," commen i ted Capt. A. S. Wilcockson, Of the ! Caledonia, 'singularly lacking in | inventiveN descriptions for a man whetiiad iust_ flown the Atlantic. Capt. Harold E. Oray of the clipper was not much better. "It was a pleasanK enjoyable trip," he said. But to those thousands who massed at Botwood and Foynes to watch two groups of fliers ush er in a new era in transportation, the occasion had portents which warranted cheers. They yelled t'heir enthusiasm as the two silver-bulled, four-en gined winged boats settled on the water at either side of the Atlan tic and the crews clambere,<J out to receive'their welcomes. The flights, for survey purpos es; began at Southampton, En gland, and Port Washington, N. Y.; and there they will end. The Caledonia is due at the little Long Island community Friday and the Clipper at Southampton Thursday. ~^n all, tihe Clipper will tly some 3,400 miles to link Great Britain with the United States. The Caledonia will fly 3,560, veer ing northwest before proceeding ; down tb Port Washtmrftfiji. ? Capt. Wilcockaon and h? ere* .

Noo nan, mlssingtruus-Pacifle Ai?j-s. Tlio three seaplanes carried by the mighty battleship swept southward toward the I'hoenix Island group for (lights on ?which the pilots and the eb scrver aboard each plane hoped to find some trace of the miss ing fliers. The aerial search began shortly after II p. nir, K. I>. T. Honolulu, July 7.- ?

Authorities agreed that if the signals came from t-he plane, Miss Earhart and her navigator, Fred J. Noonan, must have reached land because the radio would not operate if the plane alighted on the water. The battleship Colorado was be lieved to have reached and refuel ed the Coast Guard cut'ter, Itasca, which lias been constantly seek ing some trace of the fliers near minute Howjand Island, th^ir transpacific goal. Three searching planes were poised on a catapult on the Colo' rado to scan the seas for Miss Earhart and Noonan.. Miss Earharti's husband, GSOrge Palmer Putnam, and other asso ciates clung to the belief that the aviatrix lauded on some island or coral formation east or south of Howland. Coast Guard listeners reported t'he "carrier wave" signals which began coming in on the Earhart plane's wave length Saturday and continued nightly. They said the signals today were weak. - Putnam described as "fantas tic"! the only other radio manifes tation reported during the early hours this morning? that of an Oakland amateur who said he heard Miss Earhart at 7:10 a. in.

The Colorado presumably re fueled the Coast Guard cutter Itasca 100 miles northeast' -of Howland and both proceeded in to the -southern phase of t'hft great hunt. ? T . The minesweeper Swan, which helped the Itasca search a great area north of Howland without success, was ordered to accom pany the cutter and tihe battleship. Still bearing up after five days and nights of suspense, Putnam aijd his colleagues contended the fruitless 104,000 square, miles search north of Howland by the Itasca and the Swan fell tar short of exhausting the possibili ties of rescue.
