BLAKE’S FLIGHT.
BLAKE’S PROGRESS. LONDON, July 16. Blake on Sunday telegraphed from Basra:—“We had an enthusiastic welcome here but the journey from Bagdad itself was uneventful. Dust storms sometimes rose 7000 ft and conditions were very bumpy. We were eaught by ascending currents, end the aeroplane was suddenly lifted 1000 ft. The heat was intense, the chocolate molting and flowed over our kit. The Royal Air Force provided an escorting aeroplane from Bagdad, which is fitted with wireless. To-morrow we leave for Bushir-?. The naval authorities are keeping a look-out for us along the Persian Gulf.
