LATER.
THE MISSING AIRMAN. HIS DEAD BODY FOUND. NEAR WRECKED MACHINE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (British Oilicial Wirelfiaa.) RUGBY, July 23. Captain Warwick, the London barrister, who had been missing since the first day of the air race round Britain for the King's Cup, was found dead to-day. The body, which was half hidden by heather, was found by a shepherd boy on Broadlaw Hill, between Peebles and Selkirk. Captain Warwick's aeroplane smash--2d and piled up on the hillside. It was some distance from the body. Broadiaw lies directly in a straight line between Newcastle and Renfrew. The airman was dead right in his reckoning when disaster overtook him. He was passing over mountainous country that offered little chance of a safe landing. It is possible he had been searching for ground to make a forced landing, but had been compelled to continue until his machine was forced down.
