THE SOUTHERN CROSS
SHIPPED TO SYDNEY "FOLLOWING HER MASTER" Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SAN FRANCISCO, January 9. The Southern Cross was to-day loaded into tho steamer Golden Bear lor Sydney. The ‘ Examiner,’ in an eloquent tribute, says: “Twenty-six days to cover what these roaring whirlwind motors accomplished in eighty-eight hours! No gallant conquest, of darkness now, no tempestuous storms out of Suva, or lashing gales in tho South Seas no cheering throngs at Honolulu and Brisbane. Just a crowded place in the hull of a crawling tramp lor the dauntless pathfinder that kings and presidents acclaimed on that second mighty victory last year, the first cast-to-west Atlantic flight. Air-commodore Kingston! Smith has gone on to Australia, and the lonely old crate follows her master in tho only way left.”
