AIRMEN RETURN.
M'INTOSH AND HINKLER'S EXPERIENCES. (BY CABLE—PREBS A63OCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received December 4th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 3. Captain Mcintosh and Lieutenant Hinkler have arrived in London. The former declared that the flight would be attempted again in February or March, when better weather may be expected. They found after landing in Poland that tho remaining petrol would only carry them to Afghanistan, where a descent waß unthinkable. The aeroplane might possibly bo repaired. [The two airmen left London to follow Lieutenant Carr's route across Europe to Constantinople, Bagdad, and Karachi, and continued until their 740 gallons of petrol were exhausted. Bad weather compelled them to descend in Poland after a flight of 24 hours.]
