WOODSMAN’S "JOKE"
STORY OF DISCOVERY OF HINCHCLIFFE’S PLANE
By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Received 9.30 a.m. VANCOUVER, Wednesday. THE report from Bangor, Maine, yesterday afternoon that a Canadian airplane which is searching for Captain Hinchcliffe and the Hon. Elsie Mackay sighted what was believed to be the wreckage and two bodies, on a mountain in the Moosehead Lake Region, has been traced by a detective to a “joke by a woodsman.” The report said that the searchers were unable to land on account ot, the rough nature of the country.—A. and N.Z. Moosehead Lake is in the State of Maine, in the north-east corner of the United States. On the course which the airmen were flying, it would be about 300 miles from the Newfoundland coast. The mountain referred to is probably Mt. Kineo, a peak on the north-west side of the lake, rising to a height of 1,760 ft. The lake itself is I,oooft above sea level.
