{1310}{490c PROF. HUNLEY MISSING, PRESUMED DEAD!}
{1311}{492c _ EXPERIMENTAL SUBMERSIBLE FAILS TO RETURN _}
{1312}{483l  Professor Aldous Hunley of the League of Scientists has been listed as missing and presumed dead after his experimental craft failed to return to port at its previously scheduled time.
"This is a sad day for all science," commented his sometime adversary on the council, Professor Jonathan Frink. "We may have disagreed on quite a few matters, but we respected each other's opinions. He will be missed."
Professor Hunley launched his experimental submersible some seven days past, and was scheduled to return two days ago. Professor Frink predicted this as a likely outcome, and tried to dissuade Hunley from proceeding with the test, to no avail. "I imagine my colleague is resting somewhere on the ocean floor, about now," he was heard to say as he walked away from the press conference where Hunley's disappearance was made public.
