ABDUCTED BY WILD MEN.

Miss Marguerite Lindsay, a great favorite in London society soon after the war, and daughter 'of a retired "stockbroker of considerable wealth, has disappeared in Labrador. It is feared that she was kidnapped 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 ;i hut with another girl, and otic day 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 said she would be baek for lunch. ' She has never been e-;een since. As no trace of her clothing was found, it is assumed that she was abducted by "Fish-Pangs," a wild! tribe of Eskimos, a;nd 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 be hurried to the east?rn shores of Canada, and. procuring an aeroplane, started a search across the barren wastes of Labrador for the "Fish-Fang" tribe. He has secured further assistance, and the rescue lias become a wild race wilh Ibe approach of winter and its attendant snow blizzards. The heseiiers haw not abandoned hope. Imt the fate of .Miss Lindsay, even it alive, is otic that hardly bears ■contemplation. It is thought that menijbers ol' Ibe "Fish-Fang" tribe layin wail, lor her, and probably carried her to I heir chief as a u ife. I The greatest hope lies with the peaceful Eskimos, who are grateful for I In- work ol I lie missionaries, and regard Ibe "Fish-Fangs" as their enemio. s The\ an- joining in the search as uell. and w ill continue it into the winter.
