Missing Vessel
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received November 12, 1.40 a.m.) Sydney, November 11. Mr. L. E. Clark, the New Zealand aviator, will be unable to take off tomorrow as the weather is most unfavourable. lie hopes, however to leave on Friday between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Mr. Clark has received consent to leave from Richmond Air Force Aerodrome. He received a cablegram from New Zealand to-day saying that his sheep are wet and shearing has therefore been postponed. Consequently there is not the same need to hurry home. Meantime Mr. Clark has offered his services for an aerial search for the missing cruising vessel Viking. The offer has been gratefully accepted by the board of control of Lord Howe Island, and the matter is now in the hands of the Minister for Defence at Canberra, whose consent is expected to-night. In that event he will fly to Lord Howe Island and back to-mor-row, carefully searching and taking provisions and water-bags in case he should sight the crew.
