Whole City Amazed At Daring flight
Eeceived Wednesday, 9.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Jan. 7. When a newspaper reporter on the ;Sydney Morning Herald this afternoon "telephoned Menzies’ mother, saying that her son had arrived in New Zealand, she replied: ‘‘Thank you kindly. It is wonderful to know he is safe.’’ She added: “We knew absolutely nothing about the flight till Guy’s brother us at C o’clock this morning. It was a tremendous surprise to us, and naturally we were a little nervous. That is possibly why he kept his plans so secret.’’ She was not even aware that Guy had bought the Southern 'Cross Junior. The evening newspapers’ billboards feature the flight as “Lone Sydney Flyer Crosses Tasman and Crashes in '.New Zealand.’’ The whole city is amazed at the successful accomplishment of a daring mystery flight by so youthful an aviator.
