VANISHED AIRMEN
The astonishing suggestion that two French airmen have been prisoners. on an obscure island off the coast of Portuguese Guinea in West Africa for eighteen months has been • made by lime. Gate, the wife of one of the missing men. On June 30, 1933, a seaplane belonging to the French West African air centre at Dakar left that airport piloted by Chief Adjutant Gate and Pilot-Sergeant Constant Bree, and was not seen again. Mme. Gate, however, now declares that the machine landed. on one of the group of aboutthirty small islands known as the Pissagon, belonging to Portugal, where a search was not permitted. Her explanation of the alleged kidnapping of the two men is that they discovered a secret German.submarine base.
