war time shipments to India from
melted dollars, Director of the Mint
Baker has disclosed how thousands
of tons of the metal were hauled

90 pounds and was worth $1,000,
and each train carried between $5,-
900, 900 and $1O,O00,0O0 of the
bricks. Guarded shipments of sill

ABANDON HOPE
FOR SAFETY OF
FLYER HAWKER
Australian Believed Lost,
Others Prepare to
Cross Ocean.

St. Johns, N. F., May 21.-Hope
for the safety of Harry G. Hawker
and Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
missing since they set out eastward
through the air on Sunday in their
Sopwith biplane for Ireland, was
virtually abandoned today by the
British flyers preparing here to
take wing in their wake. News of
the safety of the n. C.-3 after be-
ing so long on the water had been
source of encouragement, but is
recognized that the Hawker-Grieve
macI.-n carried only a cockle-shel
emergency boat as compared with
the stout hull of the American
naval plane.
Others to Attempt Flight.
Undaunted by the Sopwith's dis
appearance, which must be taken
into consideration as part of the
hazards of transatlantic flight,
members of the other cross-ocean
expeditions today continued to ma
ture their plans for flights with
the next full moon, three weeks
hence. From Harbor Grace the big
Handley Page bomber will be in the
air within 10 days instead of a
fortnight, as the assembling of this
machine is being expedited.
Captain Alcott of the Anglo
American team which will attempt
flight in a Vimy bomber expects
the latter machine to reach here
tomorrow or Friday. While here he
will use as his base the Mount
Pearl airdrome vacated by Hawker.
Flying light to Harbor Grace he
will there take on a full load of
S65 gallons of gasoline before
''hopping-off" His plane will haze

Alcott said today that he would
carry as a life saving device an
enflatable vest as he considered
other contrivances as of such
doubtful value that he would not
burden his machine with them.
Collapsed at Start, Belief.
Regarding the fate of Hawker
and Grieve, some of the airmen
here believe the Sopwith. collapsed
within a short time after leaving
St Johns and that the wireless
failed The opinion is gaining
ground that the fields of ice and
icebergs may have affected the
work of the engines through the
intense cold congealing the oil.
