Up to noon to-day tho only news of Lieutenant - Commander Maedonald, who left St. John's, Newfoundland, in a Gipsy Moth aeroplane on vVednesday afternoon in a lone attempt to fly the Atlantic, is that he was sighted by a Dutch steamer early on Thursday morning six hundred miles from his starting point. It is believed that on a general estimate his'fuel supply will by now havo been exhausted, and it is foarod that he has been lost. A close watch is, however, being kept, on the coast of tho West of Ireland, and on tho chance that the machine might have got through to London without previously being seen, the aerodrome at Croydon was illuminated last night.
