TRANS-ATLANTIC ATTEMPTS.

MYSTERY OF THE ST. RAPHAEL."

(BRITISH WIRELESS SERVICE.Ţ

Recay, September 9pil. There is still no news of Colonel Minchin, Captain Hamilton, and Princess Lowenstein-Wertheim, who 'se: out from Upavon, England, on Wednesday morning, to fly to Canada, in the Saint Raphaël mono- plane.

The Canadian Marine Depart- ment states that the whole Canadian coast, as far as 300 miles north of Belle Isle, has been combed..but all radio stations have reported absolutely no word of the Saint Raphael. It is considered more likely now that the machine bas been compelled to descend in the Atlantic. "

The weather in the Atlantic bas andergone a decided change for the worse in the last 24 hours. Almost exactly in the middle of the Atlantic, and in the northern area through which the Saint Raphael would attempt to Ay, there deve loped to day a very marked centre of bad weather. This would mean that for u, area of at least 500 miles on the probable route, strong winds were blowing, with cloud and rain. In a rough sex the collapsible Loat which the Saint Raphael CA ried, would be launched with dif feulty, and could probably be kept afloat only with great skill and effort.

In the western part of the Atlantic, and off the coast of New.. foundland, the weather has slightly improved, owing to the disappear. ance of log, so that if the Saint Raphael got well across the Atlantic the chances of being picked up are better than if it had come down towards the middle. Nearer New Foundland, there are chances also of being observed and picked up by ishing boats, many of which do not carry wireless, so that several days might pass without news reaching England.

It is recalled that when the Eng Tishman, Hawker... and his com- ranion, Grieve, were picked up in the Atlantic in 1019, by a steamer without wireless, it was week before gews of their safety was an nounced.
