SOCIETY GIRL ABDUCTED?

LOST IN THE WILDS OP LABRADOR. AEROFLANIi SEARCH. Has Miss Marguerite Lindsay, a great' favourite in London society, and daughter of a retired stockbroker, 'been kidnapped-i by a wild tribe of Eskimos? Miss Lindsay Is only twenty-four years of age. Some time ago she went to Labrador to work with missionaries against the wishes of her father and mother. She occupied a hut with another gin > (says the "Daily Express") and one day I announced her Intention of going down to; the sea to bathe. Her companion warned her not to go out alone, but Miss Lindsay laughed and sale she would be back for lunch. She has never been seen since. As no trace of her clothing was found. It is assumed that she was abducted by "FishFnngs," a wild tribe of Eskimos, and carried Into the interior. As soon as her brother, who Is an aide-de-camp to a high officer in the British Army, heard of his sister's disappearance, I lie hurried to the eastern shores of Canada and, procuring an aeroplane, started a search across tbe barren wastes of Labrador for the "Fish-Pang" tribe. He has secured further assistance, and the rescue has become a wild race with tbe approach of winter and its attendant snow blizzards. The rescuers have not abandoned hope, but the fate of Miss Lindsay, even if alive. Is one that hardly bears contemplation. It In thought that members of the "FishFang" tribe lay In wait for her, and probably carrleel her to their chief as a wife. The greatest hope lies with the peaceful F-sfctmos, who are grateful for the work of the missionaries, and regard the "FishFangs" as their enemies. They are joining In the search as well, and will continue It Into the winter.

Miss Lindsay has beautiful blonde hair and very bright colouring. She worked with the Red Cross during the war, and her youth and vivacity made innumerable friends for her. Her father was one of the heads of the Bed Cross in London.
