CAPTAIN ASH POSTPONES
"AMBITION."
PLANE UNSUITABLE.
Tokyo, Yesterday. Captain Thomas Ash, who has been preparing for a trans-Pacific flight in Harold Bromley's City of Tacoma to-day decided to aban- don the flight,
The plane refused to take off with its heavy load of fuel, and lightening her would reduce the fuel to a dangerous minimum. Also the engine was sluggish, not developing sufficient power.
Capt. Ash in a statement says the abandonment is a postpone- ment of his life's ambition. He is convinced that a non-stop trans- Pacific flight is practicable, with a suitable machine, but exhaustive calculations have convinced him that it is impossible with the pre- sent plane. He concludes that he hopes to be able to attempt the flight later, in a more suitable machine.-Reuter.
