Rec. June 14, 8.10 p.m. MELBOURNE, Tues. The civil Avaition Department states the latest reports from Northwest Australia indicate that Rertram landed safely and then ahandoned the seaplane to seek- ssistance. The German Consul points out that there were originally four in the seaplane, consisting of Bertram and copilot, a mechanic, and a photographer, but the last named stayed behind at Batavia. Hans Bertram and Glausmann were engaged in a flight from I-Iongkong to Australia, and started on the last stage of the journey, across the Timor Sea. Searches were carried out over a large area of ocean and along the northern coast of Australia, but no trace of the two men was discovered. The Drysdale mission figured largely in the story of the Southern Cross when that fam- j ous maehine was lost in the vicinity for 13 days in 1929.
