At Singapore three alternative at- rangements have been made for Mr. Cobham's alighting, and his decision will be cabled down from Rangoon or Penang. The most probable place is in the harbour near the Yacht Club, but if that is not practicable he will either land in the fairway at Tanjong Pagar,-where there is a long stretch of sheltered water but fairly strong current or in the Empire Dock, which is smooth water, but does not provide too much room for elighting.
