Flying North to Get Round Storm
WET AND STORMY WEEK-END At 10 o’clock this morning the Southern Cross was only 240 miles out at sea in a dirett line from Auckland. This zcas only 10 miles nearer Auckland than to Blenheim. Captain H. H. Sergeant, harbourmaster to the Auckland Harbour Board, zoho had plotted the flight on his map, stated that the flyers were apparently travelling north and were going the longest way round in an effort to escape the storm. Captain Sergeant also stated that from the state of the barometer, which had fallen rapidly all night and was still falling this morning, the week-end would'■ be very wet and stormy. The wind would veer to the west, he thought, and thus the flyers would meet it no matter which way they went.
