1500 AUTOGRAPH BOOKS AWAIT SIGNATURES.
AIRMEN START BIG TASK OF SIGNING THEM. Autograph books—just on fifteen hundred in number—awaited SquadronLeader Kingsford Smith and FlightLieutenant C. T. P. Ulm at their hotel when they returned from the north. In addition, there were some hundreds of letters awaiting attention, besides photographs which the senders desired to te autographed. This morning the airmen decided that they must undertake the formidable task of dealing with all this correspondence and of signing the autograph books, and at 11 o’clock, when it was agreed that the southern tour could not be undertaken on account of the weather, a start was made. Every book is being attended to personally by the co-commanders of the Southern Cross. It is hoped to have the major portion of the work finished by to-night.
