Early the next morning, an Army bomber was sent to search the area from which "Carolyn" had sent her distress message; the destroyer and the tug were sent to assist. The Army bomber returned without having sighted anything. The tug and the destroyer encountered such heavy weather that "Sagamore" was recalled; "Noa" searched the area until fuel shortage compelled her to return to New York on 30 March. Other flights were unsuccessful until 30 March, when two Army planes and one PBY-5A Catalina flying boat out of Norfolk reported that they had sighted wreckage roughly ten miles south of the original reported position.
