STILL NO SIGN
AIRMAN LONG OVERDUE PETROL COULD NOT LAST Australian Press Association—United Service LONDON, 19th October. There is still no sign of LieutenantCommander Maedonald. Thirty-Bix hours have elapsed since he left Harbour Grace, and the time is long past for which the little Moth would contain petrol. The Free State authorities had hundreds of civic guards patrolling the j west coast all night, from Malm Head, Donegal, to Dingle Bay, on the west coast, and Cape Clear to Rosslare on I tho south. The police have kept beacon fires alight, and have been in constant communication with Dublin. Mrs. Maedonald broke down for the first time when the second wireless bulletin last night mentioned that there was no news. She was persuaded to retire to bed, but not abandoning hope, she lay sleepless. The Air Ministry has received a mes- J sage stating that the aeroplane was sighted by the Dutch steamer Harden-1 berg at 12.30 a.m. yesterday, six hundred miles from tho starting point.
