"I have been strongly influenced by the cables from my wife and Lord Wakefielcl, but the decision will depend upou how I feel v I feel better to-day than yesterday."
Mollison later confirmed the news given out by his wife in London that he has abandoned the flight. He leaves on Thursday by 'plane for Quebec, whence he sails on September 3 in the Empress of Britain for England.
