LATE KINGSFORD SMITH
BROTHER ARRIVES AT AUCKLAND (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, November ®9. “I expect to hear any day now of the fate that overtook my brother,” said Mr R. H. Kingsford Smith, of Oakland, California, a passenger in the Aorangi. “That is if he was killed,” he added. To that implied hope Mrs Kingsford Smith did not give concurrence. “There is no hope of that. I think he has gone,” she said. “The belief now is that my brother struck the cliffs of the little island of Aye, in the Gulf of Andaman,” said Mr Kingsford Smith. “When he last was seen by Jimmy Melrose he was going in that direction.” He added that an expedition was setting out to explore the cliffs and sea bottom when the monsoon season was over. Mr and Mrs Smith will spent a short holiday at Auckland with their daughter, Mrs John Stannage.
