A WONDERFUL VIEW
COUNTRY EN ROUTE
ULM'S LONG FLIGHT
(By Telegraph.—l'ress Association.) INVEHCAEGILL, December 12. The Faith in Australia, with her seven passengers, left Auckland at 4.38 a.m., and at 12,35 p.m. landed at the Southland Aero 'Club's aerodrome. It was not anticipated that Mr. Ulm and party would reach Invercargill much before 1 o'clock, and, consequently, when they arrived, few spectators were assembled to moot them. Two of the Southland Aero Club's aeroplanes escorted the Faith in Australia to the aerodrome. Mr. Ulm had very little to say when interviewed. "We had a good trip down, tbe weather being ideal," he said. "The bus gave us no trouble whatever. We had a wonderful view of the country all the way down, and Mount Cook showed up very clearly, giving us a remarkable picture." Besides the mail, a box of flowers from the president of tho Auckland Aero Club, Mr. E. E. Boucher, was brought for the wife of the president of the Southland Club, Mrs. H. J. Macalister. The party was unofficially welcomed by Messrs. H. J. Macalister, J. E. Cuthill, secretary, and other members of tho Southland Aero Club, and later officially welcomed by the Mayor.
