REPORT PICKED UP IN AUCKLAND
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, July'l6.
A report that Mrs. Putnam's aeroplane had been sighted by one of the seaplanes operating from the United States aircraft carrier Lexington was contained in a private radio message received in Auckland tonight. The information received was patchy and had to be pieced together, but the impression gained was that as a last despairing effort the seaplanes were sent out "last night" over what was considered to be the most likely area and flares were fired and that one of them received an answering flash. The position was immediately communicated to the mother ship.
Some time afterwards, another radio message which seemed to point to the authenticity of the first was intercepted.
