Van Lear Black Leaves for Shanghai
A GOOD SEND-OFF
Mr. Van Lear Black, who arrived here on Wednesday afternoon in his Fokker plane, en route to Japan, hopped off from Kai Tack aero- drome early yesterday on the next leg of the journey, to Shanghai.
A few friends and well-wishers gathered to see the flyers leave and they made a good get-away in spite of a rather strong head wind. Mr. Black, in the event of meeting with difficulties, had made tentative plans to land at Amoy, but a cable received later in the day, stated that he had reached Shanghai with- out incident.
