STRANDED SURVEY PARTY
* PROGRESS OF RESCUERS DELAYED RESORT TO CAMELS MAY BE NECESSARY (Received May 28, 11.45 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 28. Advice has been received from Alice v Springs (Central Australia) that the motor-truck party which is going to the rescue of Sir Herbert Gepp and his geological survey party who were forced down on May 22, during a flight over the Central Australian desert, is not likely to reach its destination before Sunday. It is stated that the difficult nature of the country has made travelling slow and arduous, and it may yet be necessary to requisition a camel team. Flight Lieutenant Hely. who located the stranded party, is daily dropping rations. Sir Herbert Gepp and his party appear to be in good health. _________________
