THE SOUTHERN CROSS." | SPANISH MYSTERY FLIGHT. MEXICAN STATE SCANDAL.
FIRST STAGE COMPLETED.
ONLY JUST IN TIME.
{THROCOK BEUTER'S AGEÑOT.]
HONOLULU, June 1st. The Southern Gross has arrived here.
It was on Thursday that the Australian airmen, Captain Kinga- ford Smith, and Mr. Charles Sulm, both of whom were formerly pilots in the Royal Air Force, accompani- ed by two men formerly in the U.S. Navy, started in the Southern Cross for a 6,000 mile flight to Australia.
The first lap, of 100 miles, to Hawali, has now been completed..
Lost Over Pacii.
HONOLULU, June 1st. Wireless played a notable part in the 2,100-miles flight on the two-engined manoplane Southern Cross.
:
The greatest anxiety prevailed throughout the night when the machine lost its bearings and groped over the wastes of the Pacific.
The pilots desperately watched the diminishing petrol gauge, whilst the wireless operator, with a waning battery, was striving to speak to some passing ship.
It was the American destroyer Richmond which eventually got into contact with the seroplane, after which the machine soọn made Honolulu.
The fliers arrived on a sunny morning and were greeted with a chorus of syrens and much cheer- ing from the large crowds which had gathered.
Just Enough Oli
The following are some speci- mens of messages picked up from the Southern Cross in sequence:
Land sighted."
"No land. We were fooled by clouds. Can stay up four hours longer."

"Guess we are lost."
"Got bearings from the Rich- mond,"
Land sighted. Just enough oil
