CHICHESTER IN SYDNEY
REFUSES AN INTERVIEW SYDNEY, Juno 13. Efforts to interview ■Mr Chichester on board the Albatross were unavailing. “I do not wish to be discourteous,” ho told an officer who tried to bring him in touch with a pressman. “I will not see reporters. I have done nothing to make a song about and I do not like publicity.” Ho is the guest of the captain. It is understood that Air Chichester told the officers that visibility on the hop from Lord Howe Island was so bad that he was at times flying within a few feet of the sea. The wind was unfavourable, and the magneto gave trouble. He is wearing a black bushy beard and says that there arc more important things to do than shave. It is believed that he is looking in the direction of Japan for his next hop.
