HAWKER RIDES A POLICEMAN'S HORSE.
GRIEVE TRAVELS IN A MOTOR
LORRY.
Received 11.40 p.m.. May 28
LONDON, May 2 7
No one knows exactly what happened in the next few minutes after the train's arrival. Australians climbed on top of the carriage, pulling lady friends after them. Then, amid piercing coo-ees and singing "Australia Will be There," Hawker was carried to a motor car, which the Australians had prepared. When it was found impossible to move this, Hawker crawled over the heads and shoulders of the crowd in order to reach a policeman's horse, which he rode to the Aero Club. Arrived there, Hawker was lifted from the horse and borne by a burly policeman into the building.
Grieve reached the club aboard a motor lorry.
