FLIGHT TO AUSTRALIA
CHICHESTER TO CONTINUE LONDON, Dec. 26. It is learned that Captain Chichester intends to continue his flight from the Tripoli marshes within a few days, when a new propeller and strut arrive. These were despatched by De Havilands as soon as they heard of the accident. The damage to the machine is not serious. The accident happened while taking off in the moonlight, which always is a difficult manoeuvre. It is not known whether Captain Chichester has yet received news of his wife's death.
