Pt. Moresby, Dec. 15.
MESSRS. SPEEDIE and Middleton, ac companied by Mr. Lett, to-day, in a Guinea Airways Ford aeroplane, flew from Mt. Hagen, in the Mandated Territory.
They searched the headwaters of the Purari River, as far south as Bevan Island, but without result.
Increasing rain and cloud over the mountains then forced the party to fly south-eastwards, over Central Papua, to Port Moresby. They propose, to-morrow, to return to the search, and examine areas further to the westward.
M. Charles Legras, a municipal coun cillor of Noumea, New Caledonia, visited Sydney in December, en route to New Zealand.
