  John Saunders: "G. H. Hastings left Perth, Western Australia, on May 16th [1939] to join the Australian team at Sydney, to sail on the 20th. He was substitute for M. E. Goldstein, otherwise engaged—viz., to Miss Maud Slessor, one of Sydney’s leading women players. After travelling a thousand miles, he was turned back at Adelaide by wire from Sydney. The cable from Buenos Aires announcing postponement of the Olympiad had reached Sydney on the 17th!

"Australians claim this as a record for chess—retraction of a 1,000-mile move!

"Latest reports state that Australia cannot re-consider their entry, there being no regular means of reaching Argentine from Australia direct. A sad story!"

Source: CHESS, July 1939, Vol.4/46, ppn 383-384. The Olympiad began in August 1939, but without Australian participation.
