EMPIRE AIR MAIL
DELAYS CONTINUE SERVICE ACROSS TASMAN CARGO SHIP'S DESPATCHES After nearly a week in transit across the Tasman Sea two despatches of Empire air mail will reach Auckland this morning from Sydney by the intercolonial cargo steamer James Cook. The James Cook left Sydney last Wednesday night, the day of the arrival of the mailf which left London on September 10 and 11, and the voyage by sea has taken more than half the time occupied on the long stage from England by air. This is the first occasion on which an intercolonial cargo ship, apart from those of the Union Company, has carried Empire air mail over the Tasman. Having left Sydney for Wellington about an hour before the arrival of the Empire flying-boat on Saturday, the motor-liner Wanganella has only Australian mail. The next Empire air mail is expected to reach Auckland from Sydney by the liner Niagara on Monday.
