repairs that were necessary. From
now on it is planned to have a reg

appropriation which will take care
of all deterioration in the buildings

The greatest part of the improve

Lieut.. bocatelli, the Italian pilot. : !
The orders issued at 11:2O Green

launched in the search.
Naval officers aboard the Rich
mond were inclined to the belief
that Locatelli may have proceeded
on past Frederiksday and continued
his. flight to Ivigtut. 1t was point
ed out that he was leading Smith
and Nelson early in the afternoon
and if he lost them he might have
recalled that Smith hoped to 60 on
to Ivigtut if weather and time per-
mitted when they reached Freder-
iksdal.
Locatelli, riding bigger machine
than the Americans, carries cOnsid-
erably more fuel and could easily
have reached Ivigtut.
Efforts are being made to ascer->
tain if he did this.

The flight from Frederiksdal to
