Wellington, Friday. The ifiquest on the two airmen, Messrs F. Cresser and G. B. King, was held to-day. After hearing the evidence of Squadron-Leader Stedman, Constable Toeker, of Johnsonville, Captain Bolt and A. W. Nisbet, the coroner, Mr. Gilbertson, returned a verdict that the men sustained fatal injuries when their aeroplane crashed into a hill which was obscured on account of foggy atmospheric conditions. It was one of those unfortunate aecidents that happen in flying. The pilot in this case had ap^arently taken a chance. He should have followed the' instructions of Captain Bolt regarding the route, but had not done so, and had fiown into the hill at a terrific rate, and both men had been killed instantaneously.
