LONDON-CAPE RECORD
♦ j MR MOLLISON TO, MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT (Received December 29, 1.20 a.m.) LONDON. December 28. "I am tired of this humdrum life," said Mr James Mollison, on landing from a South African liner. He was not wearing an overcoat, in spite of the wintry morning. Mr Mollison said he intended to make another attack on the Cape record late in January, flying the same aeroplane, and accompanied by M. Molinier, the Frenchman, who was his co-pilot on the recent unsuccessful attempt. "I shall take the west coast route, which is considerably shorter," said Mr Mollison. "Also the high altitudes of some of the east coast aerodromes are unsuitable for my machine. I am glad I did not break the record on my recent flight, as I would only have beaten it by a few hours. I want to smash it by a day, and also to fly home."
