ROUND-THE-WORLD FLIGHT.
ANOTHER STAG® PASSED. BASRA REACHED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 15. Major Blake, on Sunday, telegraphed from Basra: “We had an enthusiastic welcome here, but the journey from Bagdad itself was uneventful. Dust storms sometimes rose 7000 feet and the conditions were very bumpy. We were caught by ascending currents and the aeroplane suddenly lifted a thousand feet. The heat was intense. Especially haiuiened chocolate melted and flowed over our kit. “The Royal Air Force provided an escorting aeroplane from Bagdad, which is fitted with wireless. To-morrow we leave for Bushire. The naval authorities are keeping a look-out for us along the Persian Gulf.”
