They thus went into nation-wide mourning to emphasize the Indian view of what has been taking place since the Mother of Parliaments enacted in London a new Constitution for India (TIME, Aug. 12, 1935).

Musick again soared into the sky. this time turned southwest and faced the world's most ticklish navigation problem- that of finding a speck of land 120 ft. long, 90 ft. wide, and only three feet high, which no plane had ever seen.
