MISS BATTEN NOT DISMAYED
FLIGHT TO BE CONTINUED
NEW PROPELLER NEEDED
ROME, April 22. "I am getting a new propeller from London and will resume the flight in a few days," declared Miss Jean Batten, the New Zealand pilot, who crashed on the second stage of her flight from England to Australia when outside Rome yesterday. She said she struck bad weather afer leaving Marseilles and drifted toward Corsica because of a head wind and heavy rain. She managed to turn inland and find the mouth of the Tiber, which she followed to Rome, where, her petrol exhausted, she was forced to land in darkness. She had a miraculous escape as the field in which she landed was full of aerial wires.
