FATE OF AIRMAN
SIR CHARLES KINGSFORD SMITH A BROTHER'S SEARCH (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Nov. 29. " I expect to hear any day now of the fate that overtook my brother, Sir Charles," said Mr R. H. Kingsford Smith, of Oakland, California, who is a passenger by the Aorangi. " That is, if he was killed," he added To that implied hope Mrs Kingsford Smith did not give concurrence. " There is no hope of that. I think he is gone," she said. " The belief now is that my brother slapped the cliffs of the little island of Aye in the Gulf of Andaman," said Mr Kingsford Smith. "When he was last seen by Jimmy Melrose, he was going in that direction." He added that an expedition was setting out to explore the cliffs and seabottom when the monsoon season was over. Mr and Mrs Kingsford Smith will spend a short holiday in Auckland with their daughter, Mrs John Stannage.
