LONDON TO MELBOURNE BY CAR.
Francis Birtles, who is motoring from London to Melbourne, has again been heard from at Taminu (Upper Burma) close to the borders of Tibet, where he arrived on March 9, after an eight weeks' journey from Calcutta. Motoring circles in England are thrilled at the information, which means that Birtles has crossed virgin country and mountains which, as far as is known, have not previously been crossed. No particulars from Birtles of his experiences on this part of his journey have yet been received. He is travelling alone and is now on the road to Mandalay.
