CALIFORNIA CLIPPER’S FLIGHT
LAY-OVER FOR DAY AT HONOLULU [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 24. After a night flight of 16h oOmin from San Francisco the Pan-American Airways’ California Clipper landed at Honolulu at 4.50 a.m. to-day, New Zealand time. The tentative schedule for the survey flight to New Zealand provides for a full day’s lay-over at Honolulu, and it was expected that the Boeing machine would leave for the newly-established base at Canton Island at 3.30 a.m. to-morrow, New Zealand time. As the Clipper’s maiden flight across the Pacific is essentially a survey of the new route via Canton Island and Noumea, the schedule announced by the company is regarded only as tentative. The weather conditions and any desire of the Government and the Pan-American observers on board to make longer stays at the new bases may result in a later arrival at Auckland. If, however, the plans are maintained the crossing from Noumea to Auckland should be undertaken next Tuesday.
