FLIGHT DANGER.
CHICHESTER'S CRASH. Airman Forced to Take Perilous Route in Japan. AVOIDING FORTIFICATIONS. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) TOKYO, August 17. The British Consul, Mr. W. M. Royds, visited the New Zealand airman, Mr. F. C. Chichester, in hospital at Shingu, and reports that his condition is serious but not desperate, as a result of his crash at Katsuura. The airman is suffering from a wound in one thigh , , ehe&t and internal injuries, a bruised back, a broken arm and an injury to one eye which is not dangerous. His recovery is possible in three weeks. A Japanese naval airman, Lieutenant Mitsuwa, expressed profound regrete at Mr. Chichester's accident. Hβ said he was surprised at the official orders directing the New Zealander to follow the route through Katsuura, because it is a very dangerous place for aviation. The official belief, however, is that the avoidance of fortifications by flyers is most important.
