Bruce Merely Held Up By Bad Weather.

HOPES TO RESUME SOON.

Fears for the safety of Mrs. Victor Bruce, engaged on a Bight from England to the Far East, were set at rest this morning when it became known that she is merely de layed by bad weather.

The noted aviatrix left Bangkok at dawn on, Satur- day for Hanol, and news has. now been received by the local office of the A.P.C., in a. telegram from Haiphong, that she has been delayed halfway between the ports named, and is awaiting better weather be- fore resuming her flight.
