C. Macdonald, long over- due on his flight from Newfound- land to England, might have been forced down somewhere along the Scottish coast led to the mainte- nance of a close watch by the coast. guards in this region, but nothing has been seen or heard of the air- man’'s tiny plane.

Steamer Makes Report Steamship Mirach, Oct. 19 @ — (By Radio to the Associated Preas) ~—The Mirach sighted at 11:30 p. m., Greenwich meridian time, Wed- nesday night (6:30 p. m. eastern standard time) at latitude 53:03 north, longitude 43:42 west in bear- ing 130 true at a big distance lights most probably resembling an explo- sion. : The position given by the Mirach 1s about 550 miles east of Belle Isle, New Foundland, and along the course which Lieutenant Com- mander H. C. Macdonald was flying Wwhen sighted by the steamship Hardenberg at 7:30 p. m., eastern standard time, Wedneaday night 160 miles farther east. S8ince the Hardenberg reported that the air- plane passed an hour later than the time given by the Mirach for sight- ing lights it seems improbable that the 'Mirach has evidence of & dis- aster to Macdonald’s plane. - % The name of Lieutenant Com- mander H. C. Macdonald appeared today to have been added to the Jong list of those lost in the con- quest of the Atlantic by air. Twenty-three others have perish. od in the 18 years since Walter Wellman and his crew started in the airship America from Atlantic City for Europe, and were rescued by a steamer some 800 miles out.

Donaldson, Alfred Ford and George Lunt left Brooklyn in the balloon Graphic to eross the sea, but got no further than Connecticut. 20 Acrial Crossings In all, the Atlantic has been crossed about 20 times by airship and airplane since three United States navy NC flying boats made & crossing from Trepassy Bay, New- foundland, to Spain via the Azores.
