After reading [[Rupert Gould]]'s ''The Loch Ness Monster and Others'',<ref name="Gould" /> [[Edward Mountain]] financed a search. Twenty men with binoculars and cameras positioned themselves around the loch from 9&nbsp;am to 6&nbsp;pm for five weeks, beginning on 13 July 1934. Although 21 photographs were taken, none was considered conclusive. Supervisor James Fraser remained by the loch, filming, on 15 September 1934; the film is now lost.<ref>R.
