The Missing Woman Novelist. The search for Mrs. Agatha Christie, tlhe novelist, who disappeared on Friday night trom her bome at Suuningdale, Berks, was continued yesterday nea- Newlands Corner, where her car was found abandoned. Police, special constables, and others made a total of 300 searchers, many of whom were accompanied by theit dogs. All the ponds and watercourses within two or three miles were again systematically dragged, but without result. Two civilian aeroplanes took part in the search yesterday afternoon. They crossed and recrossed the wooded downs and circled many times around the spot who.re the car was found abandoned, but it is under- stood that they discovered nothing that would assist in solving the mystery. Colonel Christie. who last saw his wife on Friday morning, had a long consultation vith Deputy Chief Constable Kenward yesterdaY. Mr. Kenward aftenvards stated that the search would not be continued to-day from the spot where the car was found, but that investiga- tions would proceed in a different direetion. It was learned late last night tlhat a brother of Colonel Christie living in London bad received a ledter written by the missing woman since her disappearance, and that in it she stated that she was in ill-health and was going to a Yorkshire spa. The Surrey police, how- ever, have communicated with certain centres in Yorkshire, and as a result are satisfied, it is understood, that Mrs. Christie is not in that county. Mrs. Kitching, who lives in a cottage at Little London, a hamlet south of Albury, stated yesterday that while walking down a lane about 12 o'clock on Saturday she met a lady with red hair and grey eyes, whom she after- wards identified, with the aid of a newspaper photograph, as Mrs. Christie. She appeared to look rather strange, and she was walking very slowly. Little London is some three or four miles from the spot where the car was abandoned, and the lane spoken of by Mrs. Kitching leads on to some of the wildest heath country in Surrey. Edward McAllister, of Merrow, who told the Police on Monday night that he helped a lady motorist to start her car near Kewlands Corner on Saturday morning, made a statement on the subject yesterday. He said that when about 400 yards from the top of Newlands Corner on the road leading over Merrow Downs he saw a grey car. A ladyl came out from behind the car and asked if }ep would start it. The radiator was quite cold. TbZ, woman had no coat or hat on, and was wear.pg a grey jumper. After some time he got -he car started, and the woman drove the cat very slowly away down bill towards Merrow ind away from Newvlands Corner. it that vas thi car that was abandoned the woman must have' turned round and driven up the hill behind hin. He could see nobody else about, Frederick Dore, of Alexander-road, Thames Ditton, who found the car abandoned near Newlands Corner on Saturday morning, said yesterday that he found in it a fur coat, a case, and some other things. A gypsy girl whom he saw going away from the car told him that about midnight she heard a car coming along the track on the top of the downs leading from Guildford to the place where the abandoned car was found. When he found the car the brakes were off, and it was in neutral. The running board and the under- part of the carriage were resting on the bushes. The position of the car suggested to hbi that it must have been given a push at thle top of the hill and sent down deliberately. The lights were off and had evidently been left on until the current became exhausted. If any one had accidentally run off the road the car would have been pulled up earlier. There was no sign that the brakes had been applied. THE MISSING WOMAN NOVELIST. SEARCH BY AEROPLANE.
