FREMANTLE (W.A.), Friday.—The bodies of Sir Ross Smith and Lieuten- ant J. M. Bennett reached Fremantle today on the s.s. Large Bay.
They have come home again: not as they came In days before, on their triumphant flight— They have come home again, each with a name That shall endure; for, while their day was bright, They shone as men. What more is there to tell? So we salute. Pass brothers. All is well. They have come home again: not to cheers, The shouting, and a whole wide land's applause. Silent we watch the passing of the biers Of those who perished in a noble cause. Pass, brothers, to be numbered with the blest; Silent, we watch you flying—flying West.
