MONOPLANE WINGS WAY HOME FROM CAPE FLIGHT HOPES OF RECORD British Official Wireless RUGBY, Sunday. The Duchess of Bedford, Captain C. D. Barnard and Mr. R. Little, who left Capetown on Monday in the monoplane The Spider on their return flight to England, arrived at Khartoum on Friday afternoon. The fliers left Khartoum at 6.15 a.m. yesterday for Assuit, or possibly Cairo. They hope their return flight to England will beat the record established on the outward journey, when in nine and a-half days they flew the 9.250 miles from Lympnc, Kent, to Capetown.
