Brown recognized the voice irom one of the news films she had seen.441 heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,“ Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. 4tShe was saying, 'This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.'"Brown quickly began writing down what she heard - parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earhart's navigator （领航员）,Fred Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled （潦草土也写）away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls （遇险呼救）stopped.Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search fbr Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made. But Brown kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earhart's disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Brown's notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of an American hero.39.
