CAPE TOWN, March 1.
Grave anxiety is felt tonight in regard to the fate of the wife of the Governor of Rhodesia, Lady Young, and Dr. Kirby, missing in an aeroplane. The fear is expressed that Lady Young, who was recently ill- with malaria, had been overcome with weakness and crashed. The Governor, Sir Hubert Young, flew over the thicklywooded country between Chofna and Monze today, searching for traces of the missing aeroplane.
Police patrols are visiting native villages for possible news, and the Rhodesian Railways are sending a hundred men to join in the search, while two hundred men of the Northern Rhodesia Regiment arrive at Livingstone tonight. ,
A message from Cape Town yesterday stated that two aeroplanes were searching for Lady Young, wife of the Governor of Rhodesia. She left Livingstone on the morning of March 1, flying her own machine, accompanied by the Government medical officer, for Lusaka, where the Governor is staying at present. The aeroplane was sighted an hour after leaving, but since then there has been no trace.
