SEARCH IS CONTINUED
BUT NO TRACE Is FOUND
Hunt For Hassel and Cran.er Thus
Far Brings No Tangible
Results

Copenhagen, Aug. 25 UPl-Three
nations continued their search along
the Greenland coast today for traces
of the airplane Greater Rockford in
which Bert Hassell and Parker d.
Cramer started from Cochrane, Ont,
to Mt. Evans, Greenland.
Belief was expressed that the
aviators had landed some place in
Greenland after reports reached
here saying that citizens of Liecht-
enfels and E'iskenasset had seen Il
plane passing over the two towns
Sunday morning.
Advices here from the governor
OF Greenland and the sheriff Of the
Ice Cap island said that the plane
circled over the two towns, the
aviators were seen peering over the
side of the cabin with binoculars,
and that later the plane was seen
flying eastwards. The two towns are
well off the course for the flight
from Cochrane to Greenland. The
two cities mentioned in the dispatch
from the governor are Oh the south
! ern coast.
I 1t was considered likely, however
that the ayiators had been blown
off their course by high winds
which they encountered in Quebec
had struck lower Greenland and still
were attempting to find the landing
| field when they were forced down
/ from lack of fuel.
! The small power boats are search
/ ing in the fjords along the lower
part of Greenland while Norwegian
vessels and the United States cuttDl
Marion. also are working along the
western side of the island.
