'PLANE WELL EQUIPPED.
COULD DROP "TUCKER."
(By Tclegrapli.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day,
A Sydney wireless station broadcasted the following message from Captain Chateau (observer of the Sydney "Sun" relief 'plane), describing the aeroplane •earch carried out from Wyndham:— "Our 'plane is thoroughly well •quipped. We carry food, fishing lines, •pares, guns, petrol (supplies for the Southern Cross, and so on. If we should find the Southern Cross we would be able to drop them tucker at once, and if we •hould crash we could last for months. "Although we have no news to give of * definite nature, there is every reason to think that the Southern Cross made n landing somewhere in the vicinity of the Drysdale mission station." (It is difficult to reconcile the mention the landing at Drysdale mission station, in view of the established fact that the Southern Cross was last seen at Port George mission station.)
