SAINT-BRIEUC. -- Several fishing boats patrolled in vain yesterday off Pléneuf, in search of the wreckage of the plane that, according to four witnesses, supposedly plunged into the waves on Tuesday evening. Since no aircraft disappearance has been reported in the past 48 hours, the authorities are convinced that the Pléneuf holidaymakers—Mr. and Mrs. Brûlé, Mr. Bougault, and Mrs. Crolays—were the victims of an optical illusion.
