FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA.
WILKINS AND RENDLE WILL RESUME JOURNEY. London, Feb. 3. The aviators Wilkins airu Rendle have returned to London from Suda Bay to arrange for a new port engine for the Kangaroo machine. It is understood that the Air Ministry has several suitable engines at Cairo, but it is uncertain whether engines will be sent from England or Egypt. The airmen hope to return to Suda Bay in a week to resume their journey as soon as possible. They travelled to England via Corfu in order to investigate Captain Howell’s fate. It is understood that thtye will be no further official investigation into that accident. Howell met a storm when returning to Taranto, and exhausted his petrol. The theory accords with the British naval reports. POULET RESUMES. London, Feb. 5. It is reported from Paris that Poulel- resumes, his Australia flight in a new machine to-morrow. —(A. and N.Z.) '
