TRIBUTE TO ILL-FATED FLIERS
WREATH TO BE DROPPED IN TASMAN SEA.
BY SOUTHERN CROSS. Auckland, Last Night. When the Southern Cross wings her way across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand a wreath will be dropped into the water by Squadron-Leader Kingsford Smith. It will be a tribute to the gallant fliers, Captain Hood and Lieutenant Monerieff, who were lost in the ill-fated attempt to fly the Tasman Sea some months ago in their ’plane, the Ao-tea-roa. The wreath was ordered by the New Zealand Government from an Auckland firm and was given to Mr. T. 11. M'Williams, who will act as wireless operator, on board the Aorangi to-day just before the vessel sailed for Sydney. The wreath is made of New Zealand flowers and shrubs, and has the New Zealand ensign attached to it.
