AUOKILANlD, NZ. (AP) — A French scientist-adventurer who believed prehistoric peoples - could have drifted 5,000 miles back and forth across the Pacific has paid with his life attempting to prove his theory.

Eric de Bisschop, 66, was killed Sunday night when his raft broke up on a South Sea island reef after drifting from South Amer- 1ca.

Thevgrey-halred explorer had escaped from several shipwrecks during a hazardous life searching the oceans for knowledge.

“But he said he would rather die at sea,” his Wife, Constance, said in Honolulu. “He would hate to die and be buried under six feet of soil.” ,

The crew was en route to Ta- hiti Monday aboard a mine- sweeper. carrying de Bis'schop’s body. Details of the wreck were not immediately, available.

The first voyage proved the Polynesians could have drifted from the South Seas to South America. This was aimed at proving they could pick up cur- rents to take them back.

De Bisschop’s theory is that the two ancient cultures—Polynesian and South American—could have maintained contact and perhaps conducted commerce over the ocean. -

It goes one step beyond the idea first put forth and proved by Nor- wegian anthropologist Thor Hey- erdahl, who also sailed from Cal- lao and drifted across the Pacific aboard his raft Kon~Tiki in 1947. Heyerdlahl did not attempt to test
