% m m HAWKER AND GRIEVE SAVED One Thousand Miles On WayAcross The Atlantic When His Plane Drops London.—Missing for six days and virtualy given up for lost, Harry G. HaWker and his navigator, Lieut. Com.

The little Danish steamer Mary, bound from New Orleans and Norfolk for Aarhuus, Denmark, picked the way farers up and continued on her north ward voyage. Hawker and Grieve were in the water for an hour and a half before being taken aboard the steamer Mary. Lacking a wireless outfit, the cap tain of the steamer was obliged to withhold the good tidings of the res cue until he was opposite Butt off Lewis, where the information was sig nalled by means of flags that Haw ker and Grieve were aboard his ship. Immediately word was flashed to ithe British admiralty, which sent out destroyers to overtake the Danish ves sel and obtain confirmation. This was done and one of the destroyers took the airmen off, and later trans ferred them to the flagship Revenge. Prom this safe haven Hawker sent a message that his machine had stop ped owing to the blocking of the wa ter ' circulation system. When the airplane sped away from ker starting point Hawker let loose his wheels and undergearing, there by lightening the weight of the ma chine by a considerable amount, but making a possible landing on the soil of Ireland a most hazardous venture. This, however, probably proved of much advantage when it became nec essary to alight on tlie surface 6f the water. The airplane remained afloat without difficulty during the hour and a half it took the Danish steamer to to come up and effect a rescue.
