Mollison, Scot- tish aviator, after successfully crossing the Atlantic Ocean, was forced to land owing to fatigue at Pennfield Ridge, fifty miles west of here, early this afternoon. After resting he will fly on to New York when he plans on mak- ing a speedy return flight to Cloydon, England. Mollison stated, after landing, that during the last eighteen hours of the thirty hours in the air he flew through clouds and heavy mist. He passed over Harbor Grace and Halifax intending to reach New York but “was so tired I couldn’t go on.” Immediately after landing on a large field, Mollison requested occupants of a nearby farmhouse to.send word to Amy Johnson, his wife, of his safe arrival. Mollison was still resting at Pennfield Ridge late this afternoon before resuming his flight to New York. He | stated he would commence the return flight to Croydon | after a “few days’ ” rest at New York. | HALIFAX, Aug. 19:—Capt. J.
