LORD SEMPILL'S FLIGHT
LONDON, July 11. Lord Sempill, who set out on Friday i'ith three companions to fly to Australia in Mr. C. R. Anson's Monospar Croydon ten-seater monoplane, Britain's fastest airliner, returned to Hanworth from Vienna, where he found that the auxiliary, petrol supply was1 working unsatisfactorily arid could not be rectified without returning to London. It was unsafe to proceed in such a condition owing to fear of monsoons.
He expects that the defect will be speedily rectified, and the flight may be restarted on July 12.
