ATTITUDE OF FATHER
CONFIDENCE AND ANXIETY "DO NOT WANT TO SLEEP" "If the weather holds good, then Jean will come through all right," said Miss Batten's father, Mr. F. FT. Batten, of Auckland, yesterday. But in spite of his confidence, his attitude betrayed that ho does not altogether approve of his only daughter making long-distance flights. "I do not want to go to bed at night," Mr. Batten confessed. "It does not 6oeni right to be sleeping when Jean is flying out there." Mr. Batten said he did not know anything of the flight beyond what had been cabled, for he had arranged with his daughter not to advise him of her coining ventures, on account of the anxiety of waiting for the flight to commence. "Therefore, J have not the faintest idea why she is coming out here." he said. Mr. Batten claims to know the route almost as well as his daughter, and is able to quote the distances between various airports, not merely in round figures, but down to the last mile.
