NO SUCCESS
SEARCH FOR MISSING DUTCH
AIRMEN
(Received October 3, 10.30 a.m.)
PERTH, This Day.
The aerial search for the missing Dutch airmen was continued yesterday without success. The land party found that the fire seen 60 miles from Kalgoorlie had been lit apparently by a native. No trace was found of the wreckage of the aeroplane.
A cable from Perth published yesterday stated that an extensive aerial search of the country near Kalgoorlie failed to reveal any sign of W. Rous and H. Van Beekman, two Dutch airmen who had been missing since Wednesday morning. A land party left Kalgoorlie to investigate a theory that the aeroplane crashed where a fire was seen 60 miles from Kalgoorlie, and that, together with the missing men, it was incinerated. The Dutchmen were making a holiday flight around Australia.
Such of the cable nowa on this page as Is so headed has appeared In "The Times" and Is cabled to Australia and New Zealand by special permission. It should be understood that the opinions are not those of "The limes" unless expressly stated to be so.
