SIGNAL FLARES MAY BRING AID TO NUNGESSER.
CANADIAN FORESTERS WILL SEARCH WOODS ON MOUNTAIN SLOPES. By Telegraph.— Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received June 15, 11.30 am.) OTTAWA, June 14. A message from Quebec states that forest workers have been organised to explore the St Germain region and mountains as a result of a report from Forest Rangers that signal flares have been seen. It is considered possible that Captain Nungesser and Sergeant Coli landed and became stranded during the Atlantic flight. Captain Nungesser, French airman, left Paris in an attempt to fly across the Atlantic on May 9. He has not been seen or reported since. An extensive search failed to find any trace of the airman. It was thought probable that he might have been forced by lack of fuel to land on the inhospitable Labrador coast.
