TOXIC, August %. Maj. Pedro
Zanni, the Argentine around-the-
world flyer, whose airplane was irrep-
arably damaged when he attempted
to start from Hanoi. French Indo
China, for Canton, has decided to con-
tinue his flight. A reserve plane,
which has been held at Kobe, will be
shipped to him at Hanoi.
Zannfs spare plane arrived at Kobe
from London aboard the N. Y. K.
liner Kamo Maru, and will be shipped
Immediately, probably on the same
company's liner. Wakasa Maru, which
leaves Kobe tomorrow. Zanni, tele-
graphing Garcia Uriburu. the Argen-
tine minister, gave him the first news
of the whereabouts of the plane, and
ordered 1t sent Immediately to Hal
phong, the port of Hanoi.
1t is estimated that 1t will be two
or three weeks before Zanni will be
able to- resume his flight.
Patrick Murphy, Zanni's repre-
sentative, has been directed by the
minister to proceed through Man.
churia and Korea, marking the route
for the aviator and selecting landing
places. These will probably be at
Mukden, Manchuria: Pingyang and
Taikyu, Korea. and Hiroshima, Osaka
and Tokororawa, near Toxic.
The question of the transpacific
flight will remain undecided until
Zannis arrival here, but Minister
Uriburu believes 1t is not feasible at
this season of the year and so cabled
the authorities at Buenos Aires.
However, he has been negotiating
for a steamer to lay supply dumps on
the Kurile Islands for the aviator.
Zanni's message to the minister, say
ing the spare Fokker airplane was
aboard the Kamo Maru and asking
for its urgent shipment, said: "Plane
wrecked, but I am determined to con.
tinue."
Toxic officials have offered their
fullest cooperation In reshipping the
machine, which will be carried out
under the supervision Of Pablo Rollini,
Argentine consul at Kobe.
1t probably will be necessary to
transfer the airplane, which is in
three large cases, to a smaller steam
er at Hongkong, since Haiphong is
not on the main steamer routes.
Discussing Zannis possible trans
pacific flight, Minister Uriburu ex-
pressed his appreciation of the offers
of aid and advice from the military
attaches of the American embassy
including Lieut.. Clifford~C. Mutt, who
prepared the way across Japan for
the American world flyers They have
placed their charts and data at the
disposal of the Argentine flyer.
Experts here consider that the
difficult at this season Of the year
The flight along the Kuriles would
not be the worst part of the trip, al
though the fogs are heavy, but the
Aleutian Islands, with the Autumn
northeast winds, are believed to be
virtually impassable.
Japanese officials, who expressed
keen regret when they heard Of the
accident at Hanoi, are gratified a,
Zannfs decision to continue his flight
The spare airplane was originally
consigned to Yokohama, where 1t was
to await the aviator for possible use
