Construc ts crew are In good physical con- 1 dltion was attested by brief ra- 1 dio messages reporting the rescue. The big piano was forced down i when wlthln-an hours flight of Its' destination. Receipt of news of Its safety caused a acene of re joicing among people of Honolu lu and the men and officers of the j U. 8. fleet which Is here after Its ! visit to Australia and New Zea land. The seaplane was towed into ; harbor, at 11 p. m., with crowds greeting It. Commander Rodgers on landing said that only one' rough day had been ezperlenced at sm Hiihomh rain had made | ! matters uncomfortable. Commander John Rodgera and his crew of four men. were found] alive yesterday IS miles east of! | Kauai, by the submarine R-4. The plane was sighted floating! 1 shortly after 4 o'clock In the after- j [noon (D:30 p. m. Eastern stand-' ard time), when the submarine I 1 R-4 started to meet the destroy- ! j ers coming In from the fleet. J Details of Rescue The submarine was commanded I by Lieutenant Osborne, who. upon | taking off Rodgers and his crew, j . Immediately notified naval author- j j Hies, saying the plane was In tow and would arrive In Pearl Harbor I , last night. I Rodgers and his crew were In j , good health. This was indicated , : in a meaaage Intercepted by an : amateur radio operator from Na-j J wilt will . which said.

Island time. Aviation offlcera here last night estimated that the seaplane had fallen from 175 to 200 miles from Kahalul, Island of Maual, the flrst objective of the flight. The poaltion of the seaplane, when picked up, was the point where navigators, allowing for winds and currents around the isl and, had flgured the seaplane to be last Saturday at 8 a. m. As soon as word of the finding Of the seaplane was received. Ad miral S. 8. Roblson. eommander I In-chief of the battle floet. ordered all ships engaged In the search to . return to Pearl Harbor at once Navy officers gave the hlgheat . praise and credit for the finding' I of the PN-9 No. 1 to Commander I Frank C. Martin, commanding th" submarine haae here, who sta | tinned his submarines in the post- ! j tlons which enabled them to pick j i up the aeaplane 216 hours after! I It had dropped Into the sea. Hopr Almoot Abandoned Hope for rescue of the aviator* i had almoat been given up by naval offlclala here, although they had , doggedly stuck to the tg"k of i i learning what had become of the I aeaplane. I The finding of the big aeaplan*. j with all her crew alive and well. I j cam? almoat as a miracle. The I i broad Pacific haa been stormy In j | the paat week, and even the most , hopeful of the searchora had har bored feara that the PN-9 No. I had gonA to the bottom. It was off 'he coast of Kauai j that the mine aweeper Whlppoor I will reported seeing rockata flare i s dsy or two after the aearch for the missing plane had atartad. Im mediately after a check of calcula tions. the searching operations' were transferred to this region., which was considerably oatalde of the zone prevlouely aearehed. When the news of the finding I of Rodgers and his men was con firmed by the Navy here, Honolulu papera laaued extras and the peo Pie of the city went wild with Joy. aaactlag acenea reminiscent of the Armistice White-clad aailora from the fleet. some of whom had bean ship mataa of tha men of the PN-f No. 1. mingled wpb civilians U> a a lion wax begun this summer. and proceeded In systematic and rapid fashion by reason of exceptional ly favorable weather.

The following afternoon, 24 bourn after .his snnplane. the PN-9 No. 1, hopped off. the plane and crew didsappeared about 300 miles from Its destination. I?ast messages from the PN-9 No. 1 stated that lis gasoline aupply was about exhaOstcd and a forced landing waa expected. It went down In a terriic storm, calling for help. The naval vessels stationed along the court* of Ilia flight im i mediately took up the search for , the plane, but nothing of the miss i Ing men wsa seen until late yes I torday. The Island of Kauaf Is 64 miles west by northwest of the Island of Oahu. Oahu, of which Hono lulu is the principal city, was the destination of the big seaplane in its flight across the waters of the Pacific. Rejoicing at . WaMhtngton , I Washington. 8ept. 11. ? The i Navy Department was advised for j mally of the reacue of the crew of the PN-9 No. 1 in a radio mes sage shortly after midnight from the naval radio station at San [ Franclaco, which aald the crew waa In good health. The message read: "PN-9 No. 1 found by R-4, 15 miles /rom Nawllfwlll. Command er Rodgers and crew in good health. En route to Nawlllwlll with plane In tow at 8 o'clock to night." News of the rescue of the crew of the PN-9 No. 1 brought expres sions of relief and delight from of ficials In Washington, where, ex cept officially, hope had been vir tually abandoned that they would be found. "We are delighted," said Secre tary Wilbur, when apprised by The Associated Press that Commander John Rodgera and his crew had been found. "We are very happy that the men are safe." Rescue of the crew, after a search of more than a week, aerved to ease, to some extent, the lines of disaster that seemed to have gripped the Navy Depart ment, with the apparent loss of the seaplane and the killing of 14 men two days later in the wreck of the dirigible Shenandoah. Both accidenta have been mad* the basts of considerable criticism of the Department, including that contained In the atatement Is. if Saturday, by Colonel William Mitchell, former aaslstant chief ef the Army air service, and they art* generally expectod to be made the subject of an Inquiry when Con gress meeta la December Admiral Edward W Eberle. chief of naval operajlons. declared he waa "very, very happy" over the reacue.
