The voter was required to take an path not to tamper with the ballot 0X, Theodore Hardéen, the retiring president, reached for the frat bal. He drew out a rabbit.

C. D, Bagnard in an account puiblistiod in the London Dally Ex- The Duchess of Bedford, Bob Little, and myself have therefore 'the 'satisfaction of knowing that we have traversed the 9,600 miles of 'our journey 'quicker, by a sub- stantial margin, that any human being before us. ¢ owe this achievement In a large degree to the splendid functioning of our 500 hip. Bristol engine and Liftle's kil. ful navigating of the route, Although, as is understandable, our success has a special satisfac tion to ourselves, the real Interest to the public is in the proof which wo have demonstrated that alrtrav- ol for passengers and mails between Great Britain and South Africa Is not dependent on luck, but is a thoroughly practical proposition. Varied Expe: Now that we have completed the outward journey it is possible to sort out our impressions of the varied and exciting 'experiences which we met on the way. For the last few days, especially when we were flying over miles and miles of country inhabited only by wild beasts, and landing for the right's rest in remote villages where white men and women are hardly ever seen, our main thought has been our néxt objective. Now, however, we can look back at the flight in its true perspective, To our recollection, perhaps the outstanding feature was the first lap which, took us non-stop from England to North Africa. All long- distance fifers who have flown south or east know that the crossing of urope is always the worst from the poipt of view of weather con- ditions. In our case this reputa- tion was fully justified. We left England in a thick morning mist, which usually forbodes a clear, fine day, but by the time we drew near to the west coast of France, we encountered fog, rain and hail, #0 much sp that we had four times to change our compass course to avold the bad weather, Dense Clouds For hours we never saw the ground, and even the peakg of the Pyrendes were shrouded in dense clouds, Moreover, this lap includéd the long sea crossing of the Medit- erranean for a distance of nearly 160 miles. In the vile weather, coming, as it did, at the end of the day's flight, when we were racing the dusk, this was a formidable pro- position, But thanks to faultless navigation, wé picked 'up the little town of Oran, in Algeria, without any trouble, although every one of the aerodrome was surprised to see us arrive in Africa at all, in view of the weather conditions, It way a long and tiring lap-- over 1,100 miles--and we were glad to glide 'down to Oran Aeo- drome #nd land, : At Ordn, Tunis, and Benghas! the first two in French and the third in Italian territory, I'got into diMculties with the local postal au- thorities, whom I had to interview about sending off my dally message to the Daily Express. They made ma produce all sorty of evidence of my business in detail in order to gatisfy them. They caused me much loss of time; and I was glad to arrive at Assiut on Sunday night: and find myself in British territory again, Near the Equator We were now getting nearer the' equator, and the tempefature was between 105 and 110. degrees in the shade, and by no means pleas- ant. We spent Monday night at Khartoum, where the. Prince of Wales had arrived the previous day, as dsual earrying out a heavy pro- gram of engagements, and trying to erowd as many visits and inter- views into his'brief stay as possible We were off again at dawn on Tues- day morning, flying over jungle country and really getting into the wilds. Juba is a remote village which appears on very few. maps of Africa, and 'here ill Juck befell ug as we landed, The rain had been heavy and the Spider stuck in a hog on the waterlogged aerodrome, Wa ieollected a. erowd of natives, and with their help extricdted the mach- ine, The heavy rains had made it Im: possible to land at Tabora, the next point at which we had arranged to stop. We had, therefore, to change our course at the last min- ute to Dodoma, an alternative which invelved a great deal of in- convenience, one the less, on looking back o regard our first lap from England to North Africa as one of outstand: ing memories, ~ Duchess' Enjoyment Every one seems to assume that {his long-distance flying ix a nerve: | racking business. The answer to this notion fs that the duchess, at- | ter more than 9,000 miles of steady Alying, is wonderfully fit, and has J orqughly the flight. scene prevehts bore§om, and twelyq hourg out of the twenty-four are 'spent on the ground, All of which goes to show that when the Croy: don-Cape airway is established people iL travel on it for ph prom m og a ablest'of our fight with many i... a ourlous co- | 1 for Bouth| yy the flight, we still i enjoyed every hour of | The constant change of |.
