on the flight to Suva, in the Fiji
Islands.
Packed thousands greeted Kings
ford Smith and his companions, as
they crawled through the narrow
door of the plane 5 cabin.
Special police and heavy detach-
mcnt of soldiers kept the crowd in
check to prevent it from crowding
toward the plane as it dropped
down on the landing field.
Discussing the flight with Gov
ernor Harrington who officially wei
coined the crew to the Hawaiian
Islands, Captain KingsfordSmith
said the most exciting period of the
entire trip was during the early
hours today.
At that time the plane had los'
its bearings and the crew was un-
certain as to the exact amount of
gasoline on board.
4 little before the plane swept
into view over the island of Oahu,
it had messaged that barely an
hours supply remained.
