somewhere in the Pacific Ocean grew today as hours passed 
without word from tho seaplane. The clipper had been missing

to Manila plane was far south of its regular course when 
last reported headed for Manila from Guam. The Hawaiian 
Clipper carried six passengers and an •augmented crew of nine.

Wah Sun of Jersey City, and D. C, Me. j . Howard French of 
Tacoma, Washington . The- list of the crew will be published

emergency landing, at Sana Island, tho easternmost island 
of tho Philinpino Group.
