A Calm Flight—Enthusiastic Reception at Kiangwan —Lieut. Ferrarin on his Experiences After many delays the Italian airman, Lieutenant Ortur: Ferraria, accompanied by mechani¢, Mot. Cappannani, finally arrived at Kiangwan on Sunday afternoon at 3.20 on his flight from Rome to Tokio.
From early on Sunday morning many inquiries were received at the Italian Consulate asking when the aeroplane' was expected to arrive. They were told that a telegram had been received stating that the airman was leaving Foochow at 10 o'clock and would probably be here at about two or three o'clock. Thus the journey which covers about 800 kilometers took about five hours.
About three o'clock residents of the Western district saw the plane flying in from the direction of Siccawei. Evidently, it had spotted the Huangpu near Seven Mile Reach and then followed it up to the Shanghai Club, after ich it crossed country to Kiangwan.
