PACIFIC FLIERS WILDLY CHEERED BY AUSTRALIANS (CONTINUED FROM PAflg ONE) ing of great valor.” It was pointed out that the flight from Oakland airport to Brisbane, including the two stops at Honolulu and Suva, had taken only eight days. Twenty days are reqired by the fastest ocean liners. Miss Caroline Smith, an aunt of Captain Kingsford-Smith, was the first relative to greet the flight commander in his native land. Ahother woman, Mrs. Silver, a leader of the National party, placed a rose garland about his square shoulders and praised him as "a son of whom Australia may well be proud.” An equally hearty reception was given Ulm and the two Americans. High officials expressed keen pleasure at the decision of Warner and Lyon to visit the country. They originally had planned to remain in Suva, but yielded to the entreaties ot Ulm and Kingsford-Smith to finish 'lie ocean voyage from continent to continent. Only one more flight, a 500-mile jump to Sydney, must be made before the journey is officially ended. The men planned to leave at 10 a. m. tomorrow (8 p. m. Saturday e. d. t.) Sydney is the home of both KingsfordSmith and Ulm and the two pilots were extremely eager to return. Shortly afterward, however, they will return to Brisbane on a tour. Their arrival here today marked the completion of 7,351 miles of sea flying since they left Oakland airport. It took 83 hours and 21 minutes to negotiate the distance. Kingsford-Smit li said Lyon could not be blamed for the ship going off its course before it reached Australia. “We were blown 100 miles south of our route by the storm, which was the worst we hail encountered,” he said. "The ignition switch and carburetor were water soaked and the radio was fading. It was a most hazardous situ ation. “I hesitated to throttle down because I knew if we faltered it might necessitate a dive ami we would have dived deep if we had not filattened out. We were having Yankee palsy.” When the plane landed Lyon and Warner jumped out and tried to escape. They almost succeeded fur both were dressed in civilian clothes. Lyon was bare headed and Warner wore a straw hat. The navigator anil radio operator will not be in the plane when it leaves for Sydney tomorrow morning. They will remain here three days, then go to Sydney and board a vessel for the United States, they said. In the Hights from Harking Sands, Hawaii, to Suva and from Suva to Brisbane the airmen charted new air lanes over the south seas. During that pioneering part of the trip the crew o! the Southern Cross encountered tropical storms which might have spelled disaster but for the masterful flying skill of Kingsford-Smith and Ulm. his relief pilot. Tlie second leg of the voyage, between the Hawaiian Islands and tlie Fijis was the longest non-stop flight ever made over water. Throughout the long hours they were in the air their plane kept in constant touch with radio stations on land and sea. That was pointed to by aviation experts all over tlie wprld a:, demonstrating the invaluable aid of communication in ocean flying. A second outstanding phase of the Southern Cross’s flight was its demonstration of safety in using three motors instead of one. At. no time did the crew’s confidence in the big silverwinged ship waver. —o Timber Preservation “Falne’s process" Is a process for preserving timber and making it In combustible by impregnating It successively with solutions of sulphate of Iron and calcium chloride in vneuo.
