MOIR AND OWEN
FURTHER PARTICULARS
(Australian Press Association)
(Received this day at 1.5 p.m.f SYDNEY, May 28
When we asked the lighthouse people if they could inform Danvin of our whereabouts, to our dismay they informed ns they were completely isolated, without telephone, wireless or boats of any description. Every day since our. arrival the natives have been burning fires in the hope of attracting the attention of any one passing. Though disappointed in not reaching Darwin, we realise we had a very fortunate escape * after having fought every mile of the way from England, through terrific beat, sand storms and monsoonal rains.
Moil* worked every night, and in most cases all the night to eliminate any chance of engine failure. ,
