Melbourne, Oct. 24. Fighting a storm through the night and finally forced to land within 160 miles of their destination, the Dutch airmen, K. D. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, finally reached the finishing mark of the great air marathon at 10.52 a.m. to-day. But until they left Albury aerodrome, where they were badly bogged on the soft field, the crowds which awaited them at Melbourne half expected Col. Roscoe Turner, racing south from Charleville, would beat the Dutchmen home.

Col. Turner, flying with Clyde Pangborne, made à final determined bid for second place. Scarcely stop- ping long enough to take fuel, he rushed south from Darwin, to Charleville and then off to Melbourne. He left the last control station at Charleville before Parmentier could start from Albury, and for a time he was making up the distance between them at the rate of -more-than-200-miles an hour. He was only 600 miles

behind when he started his last hop.
