ATTITUDE OF FATHER
CONFIDENCE AND ANXIETY "DO NUT WANT TO SLEEP" "IE the weather holds good, then Jean will come through all right," said -Miss Batten's father, Mr. P. H. Batten, of Auckland, on Tuesday. But m 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 af night." Mr. Batten confessed. "It does not seem right to be sleeping when dean 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 coming ventures, on account of the anxiety of waiting for the flight to commence. "Therefore, I have iiot 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.
