Several reasons are put forth why the search will be concentrated between Bathurst and Coronation, and may be in the re- mote territories west of Fort Con- fidence. Col. MacAlpine's party of two machines left Baker Lake Sept. B, on a flight of about 425 miles to Dominion Explorers' gaso- line cache at Bathurst. The sche- dule called for a stop at Beverley, 125 miles west of Baker, to refuel. It is argued that in all probability thetwo planes reach Bathurst eith- on Sept. 8 or on the following day. It was on Sept. 9 that the com- pany operator at Bathurst began broadcasting his call letters in an effort to make a contact with the outside world. Because his station lacked a wave meter he had to guess at his transmitting wave length and it so happened that he' broadcast on 450 metres. Other commercial stations picked him up, but they could not answer on the 450-metre band. Would Have Waited A theory which holds favor in northern aviation quarters is that the Bathurst operator has been trying to get a message through to the effect that the Colonel's party hopped off from Bathurst to con- tinue his flight westward. The op- erator has not sent out his mess- age, whatever it. may be, but has been trying to get in conversation with other stations by sending out his call. The reason why the op- erator has not broadcast his mess- age on the chance it would be pick- ed up, even though it may be on a wrong commercial wave length, nas not been explained.

Tashkent, Turkestan, Sept. 30--The revolting cruelty of a woman who for 14 years imprisoned and tortured her stepsons, driving one to an early death and the other to insanity, has been placed on record here in a trial which attracted wide attention, To retain for herself and her own daughter the modest properties left at his death by her husband, she chained his two boys in a dark damp cellar.
