JOYS AND FEARS OF A
MILE LONE FLIGHT.
BERT HINKLER ON HIS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.
DANGER IS ALWAYS LURKING NEAR AT HAND."
How many people realise fully what is meant by a 10,000 mile lone journey to Australia by air like that of Miss Amy Johnson 7

In this article Squadron Leader Bert Hinkler, the airman who flying by himself, made the 15-day record for a fight from England to Australia, tella vividly the trials he met on his adventurous journey.

The omis sion of one small duty may mean the difference between failure and sectes, At the start, above all, there must be no mistake.

When I left the aerodrome last night to get three or four hours' sleep everything was O.K. Now I must make my final inspection You cannot take any risks with air- planes if you want to get safely to that little dot on the map ten thou- sand miles away.
A little while ago I got my wea- ther report, and from it calculated my course. I hope my calculations
are correct,
Carefully I go over the machine- a tashlamp is necessary. I test the controls to see that they are working smoothly and properly I examine the undercarriage, the tyres and the wheels; I scrutinise the petrol and oil tanks to see that they are sound.
I do not bother with instrumente: I know they are correct.
With flashlampa working overtime I make my tour, and at the end. of it see to the last essentials.
Firet, my map section for to-day and the area that lies just beyond, I place the map in the cockpit ready to hand.
Great Adventure Begins. Then in a little canvas bag, fixed to the side of the cockpit, I dump my food supply. There is not much it consists of two or three sandwiches, apples and bananas, and a vacuum Bask, containing hot
black coffee.
A moment later the bumping has ended. I am up. I feel extra- ordinarily relieved, but haven't any inclization to dwell on it, for other important duties follow.
My ascent must not be too rapid if I am to avoid the danger of stulling. Carefully I go ahead, and in a few minutes the aero- drome is well behind me. Street lights twinkle, there is a dull shine from railway lines. I pass over a sleeping community of my way to
the coast.

Not until I reach the Rhône
Valley can I catch another glimpse of anything.
But I don't mind. My journey of many hours is still young, and somewhere in my path I shall find the sun shining. That glimpse I had of the Rhône Valley has shown me I am keeping my course. There

head seems to rattle.
I have been flying for nine hours when the sun begins to "sink, and I decide to land at the earliest opportunity. But the landing place comes in sight too late, and I go on. I.will make for Rome. I know that aerodrome, because I landed there eight years ago.
The darkness becothes intense, and then, after three hours reach Rome. There is no light of any kind on the aerodrome, and I have to search for it systematically,
I am almost in despair when I recognise it. I signal with my flashlight. Nobody sees it. By a miracle I get down in safety.
Early next morning as I take of again I see that in the darkness 1. missed the aerial of a new wireless station.. by a few feet.

All Sorts of Weather, England seems extraordinarily remote, when you are plodding alone to Australia.. One day I meet the monsoon. Some people regard the monsoon in pretty much the same way that they think of a lion in the desert, but there are compen- sations in the intervals of good wea- ther.,
On this day I meet the contrasts in all their variety, and violent enough they prove to be. I fly in rapid succession through dull wen- ther, torrential rain, thunder and lightning, a howling gate, brilliant" sunshine, and then heavy clouds that cause semi-darkness.
Of all the changes I and the rain most trying. It is a wall of water that reduces visibility; it blurs the windscreen and makes me, try to see at a tangent.
Drops of water hit me in the face. They are like stones, and they sting Ike a whip-lash. If I were over land I would try to come down at once, but I am over the sea and I cannot. If I were to land I should never be found again.
There is one steamer service on this route to Port. Darwin, and it ruas once a month.
