LOW VISIBILITY AND MIST.

The enterprise of conveying the Prince of Wales’s mails concluded successfully. Captain Jones, who continued his flight from Cootamundra, found it necessary to descend at Campbelltown, owing to low visibility and mist, and finished the journey to Sydney by motor-car, where he arrived about twelve hours after the start from Port Augusta. The mails were immediately conveyed to the Renown, where the Prince expressed his hearty appreciation of the efforts made to bring them, and handed presents to all the aviators participating.

Sir Ronald Munro-ferguson, replying to the Prince of Wales’s farewell message, says: “I rejoice to know that your Royal Highness carries away happy memories. The ever-growing enthusiasm and daily demonstrations have, I hope, made your Royal Highness feel that to the homage paid to the Prince has been added the personal affection and respect evoked in all hearts by your high sense of duty, your charm and spontaneous friendliness. Those who now regretfully bid you good-bye rejoice to think that in the Prince of Wales Australia will always have a true friend.”

Sir R. Munro-ferguson has sent the following message to the King: “His Royal Highness sailed this morning, bringing to an end a visit which will long live in the memory of the Australian people. The enthusiasm of the greeting accorded to his Royal Highness on his first landing has grown from day to day. The Government and people of Australia greatly appreciate the unsparing efforts his Royal Highness made to visit every part of the Commonwealth and to acquaint himself personally with the people and conditions of life in Australia. He has endeared himself to all, and it is with infinite regret that the Government and people of Australia bid him good-bye.”
