She had the option of returning to And a landmark or continuing in the hope of reaching tho Niger before her petrol was exhausted. AVIATRIX FAR SPENT. WORN-OUT AND FEVERISH. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received Jan. 21, 12.45 p.m.) PARIS, Jan. 20. In an interview one of Lady Bailey’s rescuers, said: “Lady Bailey was very pale and worn-out by the effort of flying when she was not well.
