PERTH, Tuesday. Pilot Sutcliffe, who searched for the lost German fliers for three days, has returned to Perth. He expressed little hope of the men heing alive. ' The theory that they have been killed and eaten by blacks, however, is opposed hy Mr. A. Neville, Chief Proteetor of the Aborigines says there never has been even a suspieion of white men being eaten by blacks. He declares: "I do not believe for a moment that they have been eaten and doubt very much if they were killed." Mr. Sutcliffe said the gorges around the district are swarming with crocodiles. Native reports are all definite that only two men landed and these were killed.
