Mr. Ulm and Companions WREATH DROPPED INTO SEA t . Honolulu, December 28. A wreath of Australian flowers was dropped by the Monterey at 11 a.’m, to-day into tlie sea 3QO miles eastward of Honolulu in memory of the missing airmen, Ulm, Littlejohn, and Skilling. Captain Johanson said the wreath was made in Sydney and carried in the ship’s chilling room. For the ceremony the Monterey stopped and the passengers and crew assembled for a short service. Taps were sounded as the wreath was lowered into tlie sea. Messrs. David, Yaffa,' and Kenneth G. Hall, Sydney friends of the late Mr. Ulm, were to speak at the .service. In sailing from Honolulu, Captain Johanson said: "We are paying homage to a man who furthered commercial aviation with which modern steamship enterprises are in closest sympathy.” Messrs. Yaffa and Hall, in a statement, said“ Australia has been deeply moved by the fine search by the American service and the public. The great sympathy shown in America has brought the two nations closer, and Australia will never forget this human gesture.” . Search has been made at the isles westward of Hawaii, but without finding any traces of the wrecked aeroplane.
