SUDDEN DECISION TO FLY
WEATHER REPORTS HASTEN START Press Association—By Telegraph-Copy right. SYDNEY, January 10. (Received January 10, at 12.15 p.m.) The favorable weather report received at a late hour last night decided the flyers unexpectedly to start after an announcement earlier in the day that they would not do so. This decision was not reached until towards midnight. The Manngamii experienced exceptionally fine weather on the voyage from Wellington. She reports that at sixteen minutes past 5 in the morning, when about Jifteen miles off the coast, the aviators were dimly discernable at dawn as they passed overhead at a considerable height. The engine sounded as if it was working perfectly.
