Honolulu, July 6.
Faint hopes were rekindled to-night for the rescue of Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam and Capt Fred J. Noonan who were forced down mid-Pacific last Friday while attempting a non-stop flight from Lao, New Guinea, to Howland Island in the course. of a projected 28,000-mile equatorial flight round the world, Ca-incident with the announcement that new directional bearings were believed obtained in the search, radio technicians were generally agreed that if signals they have been hearing actually were fróm Mrs. Putnam, her plane must have been forced down on land rather thi water, Mrs. Putnam's "Flying Laboratory" was not equipped with pontoons though "the manufacturers asserted the plane would float indefinitely on smooth waters, but weather conditions have been changeable during the four days the fliers have been lost.
The search was delayed to-day when the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Itasca and the mine sweeper U.S.S. Swan were forced to await the arrival of the U.S.S. Colorado from Honolulu to refuel before resuming the historic sea hunt.
Prospects were gloomy early to-day when all reports of sighting the missing plane proved groundless, The United States Coast Guard headquarters at San Francisco said to-day that the emergency radio station at Howland Island had heard new radio signals believed to have come from Mrs, Putnam, and to have obtained new directional bearings, The new bearings, it was announced, indicated that the signals originated along a line south-south-east or north-north-west of Howland Island, coin-iding with the last position which the aviatrix gave before she became lost. The line, it was pointed out, would out through the area searched to-day, as well as through the Phoenix Islands area which will be combed for the missing plane in the next few days.
Mr. George Putnam, husband of the missing aviatrix, said to-day that he felt Mrs, Putnam had been forced down somewhere in—the Phoenix—group. Mr. Edward Bryan, a Honolulu scientist, told the United Press that Canton Island in the Phoenix group might have afforded a possible landing spot. along the Franco-Spanish border. "They are, according to an authoritative source, that the gep in naval patrol must be restored in any form, sufficient guarantees for French approval and that control along the Portuguese-Spánish border be continued.—Havas.
