The French aeroplane takes off on Saturday morning at dawn and reaches Bangkok about noon, taking off again after dropping her mails and taking on others and arriving at Rangoon that same evening.
On the following morning it again takes off for Calcutta, arriv- ing there that same evening, thus making the trip from Hongkong to Calcutta in about four and a half days, as compared wih an average of fourteen and a half to fifteen by steamer.
