WIDOW EN ROUTE
ALREADY SAILED FOR ENGLAND Rec. April 30, 6.30 p.m. Sydney, April 30. Mrs. Hinkler, widow of the deceased aviator, sailed from Sydney for England by the Strathaird a week ago. The liner is now nearing Fremantle. She placed a wreath on the Cenotaph at Melbourne on Anzac Day in memory of her late husband. Civil aviatioii eircles are deeply grieved at Hinkler's fate. He is described as a peerless pilot and a wond erf ul . na vig ator . Sir Chai'le's Kingsford Smith, paying a tribute to Bert Hinkler, said: "I had nothing but the greatest admir-
ation for him and deeply regret his death. The only mistake Hinkler made was his desire for secrecy. He was unwise in starting a long distance fiight from that side of the world in the middle of winter. I know only too well the terrible country where he came down."
