SOUTHERLY GALE.
AIRLINER HELPED. STEAMER DELAYED. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, July 3. Swept up from Dunedin on the tail of'the southerly “buster,” air travellers from Dunedin this morning made the trip at 200 miles an hour. The airline distance is 203 miles, and the machine Karoro made it in 02 minutes, leaving Dunedin at 8.20 and landing here at 9.22. When the passengers were delivered at their hotel breakfast was still “on,” though they had all had breakfast at quite the normal hour in the southern city. The same gale that helped the aeroplane retarded the inter-island steamer.
The Marama had a fine trip as far as Lyttelton Heads, but the wind was so focussed by the hills around that she could not berth till 8.45, though she had been outside the moles at 7 o’clock. The Railway Department did not hold back the south-bound express, as there is a second express at noon on Fridays.
