SEEN OVER ISLAND BAY
[Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, January 13. Other observers now corroborate the story that the 'piano was seen from Mount Victoria, above Wellington. It is asserted that it was plainly visible over Island Bay, and headed north, passing behind tho hills to westward, which would coincide with the report of its appearance at Paokakariki. It is positively alleged that fitty people or more saw it and raised loud cheers. Further calculations by radio men, based on the last signals, are that at 5.30 p.m. tho machine was only 10U miles away from Wellington. OTAKI, January 13. A local resident of standing says that ho and his wife distinctly heard the aeroplane pass over, going in tho direction of Martinborongh. They are willing to sign an affidavit to this effect.
