FATE OF THE AIRMEN.
REPORT OF HEARING PLANE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department has received a letter sent to the Chief Postmaster at Wanganui by Mr. A. G. Chesswas, of Makakaho. He states that between 9.25 and 10 p.m. on January 10 he and his wife heard what they considered could not be anything else but an aeroplane, both having heard aeroplanes before. They live 40 miles inland from Waitotara railway station, and the only road passing the house is a bridle track, so that it is not possible that they heard the sound of a motor car or of any other vehicle. The statement agrees with that of Mr. Metcalf, made a week after the airmen disappeared.
