OVERHEATED ENGINE
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received 12th September, noon.) PINE CREEK (Northern Territory), 11th Sept. Keith Anderson telegraphed that he had experienced trouble all day with a Lot radiator, and landed near a windmill to refill the radiator, but about 30 miles north of Katherine the radiator again boiled; "It was a case of a forced landing, and I decided to try and save the engine. I pancaked the old Pioneer into some trees, and broke our fall. Wo then crashed rather heavily. I called out to Hitchcock, 'Are you all right? 1 He replied, 'Yes.' He had a deep cut in his bottom lip, and strained his right shoulder. I escaped unhurt.| The machine was badly damaged, alfthough the engine is o.k. Owing to the tHeavy cost of freighting, the machine must now be written off. Wo are extremely disappointed, and will be heavy loßers. We are anxious to return to Sydney to get another machine. The police here are treating us generously."
