Mackay until the newspaper naen began
to come around.
Nothing more was seen Of pilot or
passenger The machine was not spotted
at all, although it must have crossed
many counties and cities, and visibility
was normal. No wreckage was found, but
after many weeks q bottle floated up
the estuary of the Dee, near Flint, in
Scotland. A boatman picked it up, drew
out a paper; the pencil scrawl read:
"Good-by to all. Elsie Mackay and Capt.
Hinchcliffe. Down in fog"
BUT the message failed TO dispel the
rumors that the flight was blind,
that the two had not intended to make
a westward crossing at all, that they
intended to land somewhere, and make
a new life together under assumed iden-
titles. Elsie Mackay had enough money
with her to keep two people modestly
for years. Lord Inchcape waited year
before announcing that he was making
a gift to the nation of the $2,500,O00 he
had left to his daughter in his win.
But despite the evidence people remain
who shake their heads and say: when
she comes back she may wish her father
had had more faith, been more patient"
Alfred Lowenstein stepped into his
luxurious private Fokker plane at Croy-
don Airport. He had been conducting
intensive business negotiations; he
seemed tired, but sanguine. In the plane
with him were two stenographers, his
secretary and his pilot. The machine
scared into the sky and headed for Paris.
Somewhere over the channel the finan-
cier got up from his seat and went into
the lavatory compartment. That was the
last seen of him. Between the sky and
the gray, tumbling water he vanished. .
When the pilot landed and reported
that his employer had disappeared from
the machine in flight the obvious infer
ence was fantastic suicide. But imme-
diately tens of thousands began to ask:
Why? True, he had gone bull on the
world at the wrong time. But his estate
yielded something more than 5000 900,
enough to be going on with for an opti-
mist like Lowenstein.
The rumors began that his man who
had had 30 vivid terrestrial existence
could not have been snuffed out like a
candle. He was alive. He had staged
. tragic death for stock market purposes,
and would shortly reappear with an i'm
mense new fortune won by alternately
bearing and bulling his own shares. A
report spread that he had not entered

his own plane, but had taken another
machine and landed on the Bray Dunes,
that long, sandy stretch of coast in Nor
mandy. A fisherman at Bray Dunes am
plified this with the statement that at
the time Of Lowenstein's supposed death
he saw a man drop from a plane by
parachute.
fortnight after the death fall de-
composed body was found floating in the
sea few miles OF the Northern French
coast. The body was unclothed. A
watch was strapped round the wrist. 1t
was said to be Lowenstein's corpse. But
what had become of his clothes?
THE doubt remains. The financier's son
this season reopened the sumptuous
Lowenstein hunting box at Melton Now
bray, closed since the fathers death.
This simple act was sufficient to revive
the Lowenstein myth. The financier
had foreseen the prolonged slump and
run to cover by way Of fake suicide;
and now he is operating on the stock
market from a secret retreat and through
agents in Paris and Brussels. Lowen-
stein may be dead-but you cannot kill
him in mans Imagination.
1t took IL years, state paper and the
surmise that he must have died of old
age by now any way to drum Lord Kitch-
ener out of the legion. Early on warm
June day the great soldier -satrap, Brit
aims war minister, secretly embarked
upon the cruiser Hampshire at Scapa
Flow, the British grand fleet base in
Scotland. He was bound for Russia.
There he intended to rally the czardom
by the majesty of that immense presence
and that daunting blue eye.
But he failed to arrive On the evening
of the first day out the cruiser struck
mine and sank. Kitchener's body was
never found. But his myth took him out
of the sea and into a submarine, and
so by devious routes to a junker's East
Prussian castle. Here Kitchener eventu-
ally died, prisoner. He was buried on
alien soil, his jailers not daring to con-
fess to their crime.
In 1923 the attention of the British
Parliament was invited to the persistent
statements of gentlemen who said he
had found Kitchener's alien grave; but
a popular campaign for the return of
the hero's body collapsed amid the dis
comfiture of certain responsible persons
backing it. Two years later German
writer gave the myth new turn.
Kitchener was not on the Hampshire

THREE weeks after he had been re-
ported lost a memorial service was
to be held in London. Suddenly 1t was
postponed. A report had come from
Switzerland casting doubt on Hinklers
death. He was alive in an Alpine hut.
Another report, current in London be-
fore this, said that he had wanted to
disappear. A third rumor had it that he
was tired and nerve-wrought and had
landed, crashed his plane over precipice
and gone to ground" as an obscure
tourist in Swiss village. These rumors
can be counted upon to continue until
the Winter SHOWS melt and disclose, on
some rocky slope or dismal crevasse,
what was once man, amid the debris
of what was once q machine that few.
Before Hinkler it was Elsie Mackay
and Capt. Hinchclinfe. That young wom-
an was an enigma in DEATH as in life.
She was the daughter of Lord Inchcape.
England's shipping king and Indias big
gest merchant prince. But, like so
many children of these self-made mil
lonaire peers, she was restless.
She danced, rode, was one Of the first
English women to get a pilots certifi-
cate. She went on the stage as Poppy
Wyndham" Back in 1917 she had mar
ried an actor, Dennis Wyndham, against
her parents wishes. The marriage was
not a success, and her father. five years
later, got it dissolved.
But that is only one chapter of Elsie
Mackay's story. She was only escaping
from youthful mistake. Wing did
she 60 with Capt Hinchcliffe, one-eSed
war time airman, married, two children,
famous pilot with Imperial Airways, on
his reckless attempt to bridge the
Atlantic from east to west, at q time
when every expert said that engines
were not yet good enough to do It? It
was the most secretive fight ever plan
ned. She financed it, but both denied
to the last that she was going with him.
He kept his 200-horsepower American
machine at Cranwell Ardrome. just out
side London; and It was from there that
he took OF at 8:35 o'clock on the windy
morning Of March Is. 1928. His wife
did not know he was kicking OF for the
big trip then, and the airdrome people
thought he was only flying over to Ire
land. He took girl with him, but she

people did not suspect she was Elsie

battle. That battle was staged to cover
q British attempt to land troops in neu-
tral Denmark and take Germany in the
rear. The invasion was repelled and
Kitchener killed.
When Ivar Kreuger lay down on the
bed in his apartment at No. Avenue
Victor Emmanuel III, Paris, and, OPEN
ing his waist coat, pressed the hard blue
muzzle against his chest and fired, he
died only to rise again as Kreuger II.
The tales began with the reporters
who caught q strong smell Of burning
wax as the Widowed coffin, said to con-
tain the match kings corpse, was reduced
to ashes in the incinerating cylinder in
Stockholm. Then the Swedish beauty,
Ingeborg Eberth, received an unstamped
letter from Kreuger, apparently posted in
Russia. Later an English tobacco firm
received from Sumatra an order for
special blend Of cigarettes made only
for the fastidious Kreuger Berlin
business man who had dealings with
Kreuger looked up from gondola on
the Grand Canal in Venice and distinctly
saw the match kings pale face peering
out from palazzo.
The March contribution arrived in
Paris from Constantinople and went out
swiftly again over the wires, radio and
telephone hook-up, and was carried by
hundreds of papers. A Swedish woman
who knew Kreuger well saw him step
from boat onto the quayside. She
called out, but he entered a car and at
once drove on. The police had been
informed and were making inquiries
Always flaw in the tale. The letter
from Russia cannot be produced. The
Berifner was with a lady whose name
might cause scandal, so he must remain
anonymous. The Stamboul inquiries got
nowhere.
QUT it matters not that q tobacco firm
may think that q little free publicity
may do it no harm, nor that in poor
season municipal press agent may take
steps to see that the world is reminded
that his watery city still exists and still
possesses the mystery and romance asso-
ciated with doges, Medicis, gondolas and
the Bridge of Sighs. The important point
Is that for causes which perhaps have
their roots in the World War, in latter
day crime tendencies and in the hunger
of q nervously overwrought civilization
for escape from the monotony of its own
complexities, the legend Of Kreuger liv-
