AEROPLANE FOUND
Wrecked in Australian Bush Country OCCUPANT IS ABSENT By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Rec. June 18, 7.30 p.m.) Melbourne, June 18. The Civil Aviation Department has received a report that a wrecked aeroplane, believed to be the property of Inspector J. Ekins, the missing aviator, has been discovered by an Italian in rugged, heavily-timbered country near Tallarook, 60 miles north of Melbourne. There is no sign of the pilot. Searchers have gone to the scene. On Juno 10 Mr. Joseph Ekins, Aircraft Inspector of the Civil Aviation Department, was reported missing between Melbourne and Albury in exactly the same circumstances as those attending the disappearance of the ill-fated Southern Cloud. He left Melbourne under very bad flying conditions.
