 It was feared they had been swal- lowed up in the Atlantic, like so many of their predecessors who |attempting the perilous crossing. It was not believed possible they could be still in the air, the only hope be- ing that they might have been forced down on some remote coast. The weather in Denmark was clear and fine and the flyers would have been sighted if they had reached this vicinity.
 Hoiriis mother and sister and several members of the family, left the airdrome sadly, after waiting in vain since early morning. The re- ception committee also had lost faith. The crowd of 15,000 melted away and flowers and bouquets were laid aside.
 The evening papers carried inter- views with Danish flyers, saying that flyers should be prohibited from at tempting the crossing without radio equipment.

 The Liberty left Harbor Grace at 3:30 a. m., E. S. T., yesterday. At S:30 a. m. E. $. T. they had been gone 29 hours.

(Contlnued rom rage l) that the ex-senator had met with foul play.
 Pending the autopsy report, how ever. authorities expressed the be- lief, after viewing the body, that death resulted from accidental
 The body found to-day was float ing about 500 feet off Needle Point, half a mile from Horse Island, near which Arrigoni disappeared. It was discovered by Will Raymond, cap tain of the steamer Moultenboro, and two companions, Will c. Glidden and George Wood.
 The body was clad in red sweat CT such as Arrigoni was wearing whon he disappeared, and other ap- parel also was said to answer the description of that of the missing ex-senator.
 The body was brought here and turned over to Sheriff Frederick Elliott of Belknap county. Later 1t wan taken to Wilkinson's undertak- ing establishment at Laconia, where Medical Referee l.. R. Brown was to perform an autopsy.
 Arrigoni had left the Meredith Neck camp of Jack Delaney, former world light heavyweight boxing champion, only a. short time before he disappeared. With him in the motor launch were Miss Catherine Hance of Red Bank. N. J., a former beauty, prize winner, and MT and Mrs George Billings of New York.
 Several theories as to the 31-year ~old ex-senator's fate had been con- sidered by investigators. One was that he was 8 victim of foul play. Another was that he had reached one of the numerous islands dotting lower Winnepesaukee and perhaps was wandering around in dazed condition.
 When Billings reported Arrigoni's disappearance, police noted blood stains on the formers shirt. Blood stains also were found on the motor boat from which the ex-senator dis appeared. But investigation con- vinced Sheriff Elliott that all this blood came from a cut on the right hand of Jack Delaney, who had ac- cidentally broken the windshield of the motorboat shortly before 1t left his camp.
 Reports that a man had been seen on one of the islands in the lower part of the lake led to a search of that island and several others by paid possemen. Traces of habitation were found but nothing to indicate that the man reported seen was Arrigoni.
 Frank Arrigoni, father of the missing man. recently offered $10.- 900 reward for the discovery of his son alive. and $1,000 reward for the recovery of his body.
