ANXIETY IN BRITAIN
NO CAUSE FOR PESSIMISM
MR. C. W. SCOTT'S OPINION
(Received November 11,11.30 a.m.)
LONDON, November loi
The British public are anxiously awaiting news of Sir Kingsford Smith, to whom the newspapers pay a tribute as "the greatest airman."
A friend who farewelled Sir Charles Smith, said that the airman believedthe machine would float for two days, and he carried shears to cut the engine away. . ■•
The "Morning Post" emphasises that there are thousands of islands.in the Bay of Bengal and. vast tracts of jungle and forest on the mainland. It is quite possible that Sir Charles is safe, even if nothing is heard for several days.
Mr. C. W. Scott, winner of the Melbourne centenary race, in an interview with the "Sun-Herald" Agency, said he refused to consider that a tragedy had occurred. It was absurd to be pessimistic before the search parties had a chance to thoroughly comb the area.
