“SMITHY’S FATE”
DID HE CRASH ON CUFFS? BROTHER'S SEARCH EXPEDITION P'ee United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, November 29. “ I expect to Lear any day now of the fate that overtook my brother,” said Mr R. H. Kingsford Smith, of Oakland, California, who is a passenger by the Aorangi. - “ That is, if he was killed,” he added. 1 , , To that implied hope Mrs Kmgsford Smith did not give concurrence. “ There is no hope of that.
