FRUITLESS SEARCH
NOTHING SEEM OR HEARD
LAST MESSAGE AT 11 A.M.
(Received October 20, 11 a.m.)
MELBOURNE, This Day.
Grave fears are now entertained for the airliner Miss Hobart. Three aeroplanes searched fruitlessly last evening and until an early hour this morning. Nothing has been heard of tho missing airliner. Tho machine carried two pilots. The aeroplane was last heard from when she sent a wireless message about 11 o 'clock yesterday morning giving her position as over Rodondo Island, eight miles off Wilson's Promontory. The message ended: "Everything 0.X."
There is some evidence of the machine having passed over "Wilson's Promontory, but nothing further has been heard of it. It is possiblo that the aeroplane was forced to land in uninhabitod country. This is the opinion of Captain Johnson, Controller of Civil Aviation.
