PERTH, Jmio 21
Tho Junkers seaplane which the fl'ieiy Bertram and Klauscman abandoned, Ims been seized as salvage by ,a launch party, searching for the mi-sing airmen. The log book found in the pAme .shows the pair .landed at 7.30 on the morning of May 15:h and went aloft again at 12.25, coming down ten minutes later. The tracks of natives and children were found near the spot-and taken as an indication that aborigines assisted the men to turn die machine round. This is now regarded as a rebuttal of .The theory that they were murdered near the scene of the landing. There is still nothing, however, to indicate their fate. They had guns and wuter- was still in the radiator and shows they did not perish of thirst. The log shows.the other two occupants of the plane were dropped lit various points along the route.
