SOUTHERN CROSS
REPORT OF MACHINE BEING NEAR DRYSDALE. NO CONFIRMATION RECEIVED. INDEFINITE NEWS. PERTH, April 10. Pilot Woods has arrived at Derby from Wyndham via Drysdale, where he received word that the Mission had news of the Southern Cross. The report was that the Southern Cross was thirty miles to the south-west on the coast. The Mission boat was reported to be standing by to pick up the crew. This may be only a Native rumour, and should not be hurriedly believed. Pilot Chater is sceptical. The “Telegraph” says that in answer to Woods’s questions the monks at the mission signalled that the Southern Cross was between Drysdale and Port George and a boat had been sent down the coast. There was no answer to the question whether the crew was all right.—(Australian Press Association.) FLYING TO WYNDHAM. SYDNEY, April 10. Keith Anderson, in his Westland monoplane, has arrived at Alice Springs and is leaving for Daly Waters, en route for Wyndham, in the morning. Matheson’s Goulburn Moth has arrived at Cunnomulla. The next stop will be at Charleville.—(Australian Press Association.) X
