FLIGHT TO THE CAPE ATTACK ON RECORD FAILS CAPETOWN, May 27. • Flying-officer Llewellyn made a forced landing near Uitenhage, 400 miles from Capetown. He cannot now beat Amy Johnson's record, but flew on to Port Elizabeth, where he will spend the night, and then fly to the Cape to-morrow.'
MISSING AUSTRALIAN PLANE SYDNEY, May 28. (Received May 29. at 0 15 a.m.) Advice has been received from Alice Springs that the motor truck party which is going to the rescue of Sir Herbert Gepp and his party, who were stranded in Central Australia, is unlikely to reach its destination before Sunday owing to the difficult nature of the country. In fact, it may yet be necessary to requisition a camel team. Flightlieutenant Hely is dropping rations to Sir Herbert Gepp and his party, who appear to be in good health.
