LANDS at wyndham
(Received September 19, 8.45 p.m.) WYNDHAM, Sept. 19
Mr. Richard Allen, of Melbourne, landed at Wyndham to-day after a leisurely flight from England. His trip across the Timor Sea took five and a-half hours and was uneventful.
Mr. Allen saw the motor-ship Koolinda, on which was Captain Bertram, who is about to salvage his seaplane Atlantis, which he beached on May 15, after which he and his companion Klausmann were lost. ;
Mr. Allen intends to fly to Melbourne, via Perth and Adelaide.
Mr.. Allen, who is 21 years old, left England on his flight to Australia on August 10. He remained at Bagdad, Irak, about a fortnight, owing to illness, and then resumed his leisurely journey.
