THE MISSING AIRMAN
NO TRACE YET DISCOVERED.
EIGHT ’PLANES OUT YESTERDAY
(Per Press Association). HASTINGS, July 29
With nine days elapsed since his disappearance after leaving his home at Akitio to fly to Hastings oh Sunday of last week, there is now little hope of finding Mr Harnish Armstrong. Within the next day or two the number of aeroplanes taking part in the search will probably be reduced to two or three. They will then carry on for some time longer, but it is impossible to say yet when the search will bo abandoned.
On Saturday afternoon the Hastings aerodrome authorities received a message that a shepherd on a station 30 miles from Hastings on the Taihape road had seen the wing and tail of an aeroplane, but investigation by aeroplano and searchers on foot yesterday failed to reveal any sign of wreckage. The search was continued to-day by eight aeroplanes which flew over the Ruahines and north of Napier.
