A message from Bangkok states that Smith and Sliiers’ plane was forced down in rough country 30 miles from the Siamese capital. The men were unhurt but a wing of the piano is broken and the lliglit may be abandoned. The piano was unable to take off fully loaded from Sin gore on tho Malay east coast, owing to the aerodrome’s limited space . It, therefore, had to start with a rninumum load which proved insufficient in reach Bangkok.
