HINKLER'S FATE.
Nine Feet of Snow Fallen Since Airman Was Seen. CAPTAIN HOPE FOR LONDON. (Received 11.30 a.m.) ' PARIS, January 22. Interviewed en route to London, Captain W. L. Hope, who has been searching the Swiss Alps for Mr. Bert Hinkler, said that the missing airman had circled seven times over a party of ski-ers at Diablerets apparently trying to gain height to cross the ranges. Nine feet of show had since fallen there, and the machine would now be invisible. Despite the conviction that Hinkler reached the Alps the search is continuing in the Forest of Othe, near Auxerre, owing to the peasants' belief that they saw a 'plane like Hinkler's passing on the night of January 7.
