SOUTHERLY GALE
ASSISTS ’PLANE —DELAYS SHIP.
[PEE press association.]
CHRISTCHURCH, July 3. Swept up from Dunedin on the tail of a southerly “buster,” air travellers from Dunedin, this morning, made the trip at 200 miles an hour. The airline distance is 203 miles, and the Union Airways’ machine, Karoro, made it in 62 minutes, leaving Dunedin at 8.20 a.m. and landing here at 9.22 a.m. , When the passengers were delivered at their hotels, breakfast was still “on,” though they had all breakfasted at a quite normal hour in the southern city. The same gale that helped tne aeroplane retarded the inter-island steamer Marama. She had a fine trip as far as tne Lyttelton Heads, but the wind was so focussed by the hills around the harbour that she could not berth till 8.45 a.m., though she had been outside the moles at seven o’clock. The Railways Department did not hold back the South express, as there is a second express at noon, on Fridays.
