Her first act on landing was to throw of her lifebelt, unhook her goggles, take out a comb and begin to tidy her ruffled hair.

Her First Ambition. Amy Johnson is twenty-two years of age and she took her first flying lesson eighteen months ago, After leaving Sheffield University, where she obtained the Bachelor of Arts degree, she took up secretarial When she stepped from the plane work in the office of a London soli-on to Australian soil she proved to citor.

She was so persistent, however, that her father enabled her to buy a secondhand machine some years old in which Captain Hope, the well-known airman, had already Дown thirty-five thousand miles in Africa and elsewhere. It was a good machine, however, of the famous de Havilland Moth light

Finally, oil and petrol companies, probably more out of good nature than in any expectation she would get that far, promised to help along the route.

She acknowledged the cheers of the enormous crowd with a grace- ful bow and a smile and waited patiently while an army of photo- graphers snapped her, though she was obviously very tired and par- tially deaf from the roar of the engine.

"I Am So Happy." Afterwards she was driven to Government House where she is the guest of the Government.

Flight Described.

Australia has gone mad with enthusiasm over Miss Johnson. The women, who, more than the men, throughout the hopes and fears of the flight, have never lost their confidence in her success, are now animated by a fierce pride for their daring sister.

Premier's Message.

London, May 24, "Thank God," was the fervent exclamation of Amy Johnson's father when Reuter's news of Amy's safe arrival in Australia was telephoned to him

Hull.

This expresses the popular relief at the success of the exploit, which has captured the imagination of the British public: Flags flying in honour of Empire Day seem a special salute for the "Empire's Empire Day heroine."

Their Majesties have cabled the

of Governor-General

Australia their congratulations on "Miss Johnson's wonderful and courage- Fous achievement.”

Colonel the Master of Sempill cabled his congratulations on be- balf of the Aeronautical Society. Other famous flying experts who include express their admiration Sir Sefton Brancker, who told Reuter that Amy's feat was more difficult to accomplish than Lind- bergh's. He mentioned that she flew in fog all the way to Cologne on May 5, when the pilots of air liners objected to starting.
