S. SOON Elsie Mackay, Daughter of Lord Inchcape, Is Believed Passenger New York, March 14.— (AP) — Captain Walter Hinchliffe’s plane, Endeavor, in which he left Cranwell, England, yesterday morning presum- ably with Hon. Elsie Mackay as a passenger, for America, was unre- ported this forenoon, although if all had gone well he should have been off the Nova Scotia coast. Thirty hours after the British war ace had left English shores, no ships at sea had reported sighting him and the big wireless tions along th> coast were likewise’ silent.. The last positive news of the plane reported it off the Irish coast yesterday when a London press report said a ship had sighted it about 170 miles from shore. His minimum average speed, un- less great storms were encountered, was estimated at about 80 miles an hour. The Endeavor, provided it followed the great circle course, would have covered 2,400 miles about 9:45 a. and_ should’ have been in the vi y of Nova Scotia. The plane, however, was capable of greater speed under ‘favorable conditions. The commander of the Hamburg- American liner Deutschland reported in a wireless message to the Assd- ciated Press at 7 a. m., eastern time today, that he had seen no sign of the plane. The vessel is due in New York about. Mond: ind today in midatlantic found visibility good, with a light wind from the north, northwest. A little earlier the White Star liner Cedric, 500 miles out of New York and somewhat south of the probable’ flight route, had not seen the plane and. was. running into a , north gale. Last reports from Newfoundland deep on landing fields. Along the New England and Lond Island coast, however, there was fog ‘and a threat of rain. Not Worried “Iam not .a bit troubled,” she said with a little quaver in her voice. “It is not time for that yet and I don’t think there gill be any need to be.” Mrs. Sinclair, wife of Gordon Sin- clair, who was first reported to be aboard the plane with Captain Hinchliffe, spent the night with Mrs, Hinchliffe and the latter Mrs. Sinclair had not rec word either. Consequently Sit whereabouts also was a mystery. The Incheape household has not heard anything about Miss Mackay ince she left home late Monday This is not the first time (Continued on page two) VILLAGES ARE FACING THREAT OF FUEL FAMINE Grand Marais Power Plant Must Close Soon Unless Coal Is Obtained Detroit, larch dents of snowbound up; Peninsula vill faced another day of isolation jay with the threat of a fuel famine added to the food shortage problem, Officials of Grand Marais, on Laks Sie re gies over ee: felephone it e r int there would be forced’ to close. un- 14.— Resi. r Michigan 5 e Island, ea, ane Stalwart also report- e)_ shortages. , Although food is being rationed in most of the villages, there is said to be no immediate danger of star- vation.
