AVIATOR’S FATE
NEWS AWAITED By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, November 29. "I expect to hear any day now of the fate that overtook my brother,” said Mr R. H. Kingsford Smith, of Oakland, California, 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 not hope of that. I think he has 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 Smith. "When he was last seer, by Mr J. Melrose he was going in that direction.” He added that the expedition was setting out to explore the cliffs and sea bottom when the monsoon season was over. Mr and Mrs Smith will spend a short holiday in Auckland with their daughter, Mrs John Stannage.
