HOPE ABANDONED
NO NEWS OF NOVA SCOTIAN AIRMEN ATTEMPT TO FLY ATLANTIC. ADMIRALTY ANNOUNCEMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON. August 13. The Admiralty announces that hope is abandoned Lor the Atlantic flyers Alex. Loeb (32) and Dick Decker (23), who took off from Nova Scotia on Thursday. They should have arrived at about noon on Sat unlay. Ships have been warned to keep a look out for them but the only hope is that they have been picked up by a ship without wireless. Loeb and Decker, two New Yorkers, after announcing their destination as Ireland, took off from a beach near St Peters (Nova Scotia) in a Ryan monoplane carrying 350 gallons of petrol. They remarked before their departure that they were friends of Douglas Corrigan, who flew the Atlantic ‘'by mistake” a year ago, and that “he gave us many valuable pointers. ’
