WEATHER CONDITIONS
NOT YET DETERMINED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
Mr. Harold Gatty, the Pan-American Company's representative, emphasised this morning that he gave Friday as the earliest possible date for the arrival of the clipper, so that those who were preparing a welcome and making other arrangements would know what to expect;, but as it was a survey flight nothing definite could be stated until the ship left Pago Pago. The weather reports indicated that storm centres were developing westward of the Samoan Islands, and it would be another 24 hours before there could be clear indications of what the weather conditions were likely to be. Referring to the proposed service to be inaugurated after the survey flight, Mr. Gatty said the company never intended to span the Tasman, but he considered that without a .Pacific service with a terminal in New Zealand a trans-Tasman service would be a costly undertaking.
