KINGSFORD SMITH AT KOEPANG
AERODROME SOAKED BY RAIN (Press Assn. — By Telegraph — Copyright). Rec. Jan. 18, 7.10 p.m. KOEPANG, Monday. Air-Commodore Kingsford Smith arrived on Sunday afternoon. He landed despite a danger signal and struck soft ground at the aerodrome, as a result of continuous rain. The machine was dragged out of the bog on to a harder patch after two hours' work. The ground is not yet dry enough to jus'tify an attempt to start, but may improve later to-day.
