SEARCH FOR AIRMEN.
CAPTAIN BRAIN SETS OUT. ISLAND LANDING THEORY. (Received May 23, 9.55 p.m.) SYDNEY. May 23. There is a feeling among aviators in Sydney that Flight-Lieutenant James Moir and Flying-Officer Harold Owen were forced down somewhere on Timor Island on the last stage of their flight to Australia and that they have not been able to rise again. The aeroplane Atlanta', with Captain Lester Brain, of the Queensland and Northern Territory Aviation Service, as pilot and Mr. Robinson, director of station 4QG, Brisbane, as wireless operator on board, has left for the north coast to take part in the search. Captain Grosvenor, aide de camp to the Governor of South Australia, Sir A. Hore-Buthven, is still searching for the missing men between Wyndham and Darwin.
