COMPLETE REST ORDERED
TOO WARM A WELCOME BRISBANE, 30th May. Miss Amy Johnson attended two women's functions to-day, but will attend no more for a day or two, a doctor having ordered complete rest. She has been unnerved by the crowds and the pace set by her multitudinous admirers. Discussing the accident yesterday she explained that she had magneto trouble all the way from Longreach. The engine functioned splendidly while going at full speed, but when she slowed the throttle it showed sign of stopping altogether and spluttered ominously. Each time she landed the engine always stopped immediately. She anticipated trouble when coming down to the aerodrome yesterday. The spluttering returned and the 'plane began to. lose height and made a very steep side slip. She knew that • she was in for a smash. She had no fear and just waited, but did not bargain for running into a fence and turning upside down.
