MAKARA COAST
SEARCH FOR 'PLANE
"I was at South Makara during the weekend," a resident of Wellington told a "Post" reporter today, "and gained the impression there that the farmers and settlers considered they were being blamed for not making a more intensive search for the aeroplane that, went missing some weeks ago. From what I saw and heard, they are all very interested and are watching the coast closely. There were two policemen on the coast yesterday,' so the search is still going on." ■■
While* there appeared little : doubt about the fate of the aeroplane, he added, he did not think anything" more would be "found until a. storm swept the coast. . He1 had visited the coast frequently and knew just how difficult it was to search. Yesterday ■he travelled five miles along the seafront, going to places considered unsafe to visit, but there was no sign of any wreckage; At one place he discovered broken rock on the cliff face and had climbed to it at some risk, However, he was satisfied the break was due to weathering and not to the impact of anything, and the examination he was able to make would have revealed signs of scraped paint or "dope" if the aeroplane had struck the cliff at that spot.
