From the Timor Sea, where their left motor seized, Scott and Black have been followed with some anxiety, for it was feared that their hard-driven engines might not last the whole trip. The Dutch entry, piloted by K. D. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, was half expecting a break-down of the Scott machine, but their backers have now conceded the race to the British.

London, Oet. 22.
The amazing performance of C.-W. A. Scott and Campbell Black in their Comet plane, which has only two, six-cylinder Gipsy VI engines, is warmly praised everywhere.
The physical endurance displayed by the airmen is revealed by fact that their stay in Darwin of less than 2 hours was their longest stay on the ground since they left Mildenhall.
