OFF THE ROUTE PERNAMBUCO, January 29. The Italian flyers are long overdue. The last message from their wireless, intercepted at 12.30 a.m., appeared to be somewhat weak, indicating that they had strayed from the direct route. Reports from Fort Aleza that a plane had been heard in that vicinity at 12.10 a.m. strengthened that impression. Fort Aleza is 300 miles north of Natal. PLANE CRASHES THE CREW SAFE.
