THE MISSING AIRMEN.
NO NEWS YET RECEIVED.
SEARCH PARTIES STILL OUT. Up to the time of going to press no word had been received of the missing airmen, Lieutenant J. R. Mpncrieff and Captain G. Hood. ' In common with the rqst of the Dominion, the keenest anxiety is being felt locally. The wild rumours which were in circulation on Tuesday night concerning the alleged arrival of tlie aviators have ceased, and the public have now accepted the inevitable and are anxiously awaiting reports from the warship Dunedin, an aeroplane, and t'he tramping parties which have been organised to search. The Tasman flight and the fate of the airmen 'have been the topic of conversation fo : r spline days past, and the question, “Any word of the airmen ?” is asked many times a day. The earnest hope is still maintained that the two intrepid men wi'll yet be located in the mountainous bush country of New Zealand. Arrangements have been made by His Worship the Mayor (Mr W. Marshall) to fly a flag on the staff on Primrose Hill in- the event of authorative information being received of tlie finding of , the airmen.
