SUVA, June 7. (/■P)—The Southern
Cross rested on Naselai Beach await
ing the ebb tide to permit the hop for
Australia at 6 o’clock, Pacific coast
time, tonight. The unruly surf pre
vented the plane from starting yester
day when the government steamer
Pioneer arrived with 800 gallons of
gasoline.
The work of transporting the drums
to shore was rendered difficult and
slow by the rough sea. So great was
the delay that dusk found the plane
but partially fueled, with the tide
coming in.
The craft will be completely fueled
today, Kingsford Smith said, and he
anticipates reaching Australia in
about 20 hours.
