Last night, angus houston said -- i'm just keeping an eye -- forgive me, i'm keeping an eye to see if he will stop me. he said they will go several more days. here's angus houston. >> okay. good morning. i'm accompanied by the same team as on previous occasions. i'm pleased to be here to brief you today. today i can report some further encouraging information regarding the search for missing flight mh-370. on monday, i advised the pinger locater deployed by the ocean shield had detected signals consistent with those emitted by aircraft black boxes on two separate occasions.

Think the "ocean shield" needs to refine the location. you already have four detections and you say you need more detections to refine the location and second, do you have more information regarding the detection we received about the chinese ship and do you think it is a reliable one? >> in terms of "ocean shield," the more detections we get, the better. the other thing that comes in to it is the quality of the transmission and the detection. what we are after is the best return that we can get. by triening a la triangulating data we will come up with a more sharply defined, much smaller sear...

Planes and 14 aircraft out scouring those waters, but it has sob said in some 23 days of the operation we have had no reported findings of any kind of debris. as you mentioned, all eyes right now focused on the australian vessel, the ocean shield with the american ping locater on board scouring the waters in a ladder-like formation, trying to redetect that signal that gave so many people hope here on sunday. again, it will be interesting to see if mr. houston has any comments, any updates on that. the past few press conferences of this kind that we have experienced over the past few days there...

Lead us to the point where the drift is. that area you asked about anderson, i have been watching all day. there have been a cluster of about eight ships all day in that box, and just to the east on the plateau is only ocean shield. so separate from this other flotilla of other ships, i'm not quite sure. >> so they will continue obviously along the line of where they received the pings. they're going to continue ocean shields with the towed pinger locater, but again we don't know how long that will go for. basically they will just make an assessment of when they think they're diminishing retur...
