Urania Island Still Visible, Pilot Reports AP Newsfeatures
NEW YORK. - Pan American World Airways says one of its pilots, Capt. G. F. Maxwell, had given the United States Navy a report on his observations of Urania, the new volcanic island in the Pacific.
The island, which was discovered some months ago by a British cruiser, had been reported disappearing.
But Maxwell, on a recent charter flight to Shanghai, reported sighting the island and estimated it was 150 feet high and 150 feet in diameter. He said the water around the cone was discolored, indicating continued volcanic activity beneath the surface.
