“SMITHY” TO WED
NOT TOO SURE ABOUT ATLANTIC FLIGHT SOUTHERN CROSS FOR SALE United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, Saturday. Iti the course of an interview Squadron-Leader KingsfoVd Smith said he would know definitely on Thursday whether he would attempt a westward flight across the Atlantic. There had been some discussion about the possible immediate purchase of his machine, the Southern Cross, but he doubted that it would materialise. The chances for the flight were better than those against it. If he decides to fly he will leave for England on Friday next. Then he will go to Holland and take the Southern Cross to Ireland. There he will await weather favourable for the venture by the northern route. The airman proposes to land at the Roosevelt Field and to leave there for San Francisco, going thence to Oakland. He is to return to Australia to be married in September.
