YESTERDAY'S. SEARCH
SYDNEY, 26th March. To-day's search for tho Southern Cloud was extended to cover new territory in New South Wales as far north as Yass and Guudagai. Pilot Allen in the Southern Star made an unsuccessful tour of the Kosciusko district. The theory that the 'plane has gone into the sea is supported by a statement by Group-Captain Cobby to AirCommodore Kingsford Smith that he heard a three-engined 'plane over his home at Malvern, Victoria, at 3.30 p.m. on Saturday. Kingsford Smith to-day flew down over the waters of Port Phillip. One of his observers sighted what might have been part of the wing of a plane. Kingsford Smith turned sharply, but the object could not be seen again. Horsemen are investigating numerous reports from Bowser that a 'plane was seen flying in the diection of the hills, and that in the night flames were seen from all points of the compass. Ground parties have advanced on Mount Disappointment, through rough and difficult country... Many believe that this mountain holds the secret of the air liner's disappearance.
