MISS JEAN BATTEN LEAVES
CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS VISIT.
STRENUOUS DOMINION TOUR.
By Telegraph—Press Association. . Wellington, Last Night.
After having led almost as strenuous a life during her eight or nine weeks in New Zealand as she did on her record flight from England to Australia, Miss Jean Batten will leave Wellington tomorrow afternoon by the Maunganui for the Melbourne centenary.
During her official aerial tour of New Zealand Miss Batten visited 20 towns and made about 150 speeches. She spent to-day in attending to her machine, which will be stowed on one of the Maunganui’s decks, and getting a clearance certificate from the quarantine authorities for her kitten Buddy, which has done 60 hours’ flying in New Zealand.
Miss Batten’s plans are indefinite.
