Delhi, July 14
It is now known that Hook and Matthews were not injured when their plane crashed in a flat open space in the jungk. They started off in the direction of what they believed to be a village but, after some time, found themselves back where they had started. They made a further attempt by following the Buyo stream but, as they had to swim the river several times Hook collapsed. Matthews carried him for some distance, but he was too weak to continue. It was a matter of going for help or lying down to die with Hook, and Matthews took the most practical course.
At present there is no' news, of Hook although numerous search parties are scouring the neighbourhood where Matthews states he left him. It is reported that the accident happened about 1.50 miles from From®.
