MAJOR BLAKE’S PROGRESS.
ROUGH WEATHER EXPERIENCED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, London, July 29. Major Blake cabled on July 29 from Lahore: .“En route here we had to land and Montgomery had his first real taste of the monsoon. Twenty Indians were needed to hold down the machine in the terrific gusts. It rained in a solid sheet for half-an-hour, turning the aerodrome into a lake. After unloading all the cargo we managed to rise from two inches of water. The machine stood the test wonderfully. We arrived here plastered with mud and soaked to the skin. Ambulances were ready, but were not needed.”
