MISSING AIRMEN
RENEWED HOPE TRACKS OF WHITE MEN SEEN NORTH-WEST AUSTRALIA (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.5 p.m.) Perth, June 13. Information has been received here from the Drysdale Mission in NorthWest Australia that the tracks of two white men were discovered by native messengers attached to the mission a hundred miles north-west of Wyndham. The tracks are believed to be those of the crew of the missing Junkers seaplane, Hans Bertram and
his companion, who were not reported after their departure from Koepang for Darwin last month.
A cigarette case on which the initials “5.8.” and German writing were scratched with a nail and a handkerchief were discovered. The tracks were lost on rocky ridges. A Western Australian Airways aeroplane is now located at Wyndham, and a local ground party has begun a search of the North-West Territory.
