An Aviator,s Terrible Experience

Paris, Dec. 22.-"Shipwrecked il
mid-air; or marooned in the flooded
Seine" was comedy drama enacted
here today by the Belgian aviator Ian,
ser, whose thrilling aeroplane expert
ence are almost without parallel in The

Lanser, with a companion, left Issy
early today in a bi-plane, competing in
the round trip contest between Pari:
and Brussels; prize of $4,000 being
offered for the aviator who makes the
trip in the shortest time.
A heavy fog obscured the earth after
Lanser assembled and for long while
he flew, unable to see the ground be,
meath him. He lost his direction com.
pletely, flying in an opposite direction
from that which he desired when disas
ter overlook him.
At high speed, Lanser crashed
head-on into tall chimney, which
broke down, the bricks smashing
through the roof OF the house and
greatly frightening the residents. The
tip of Lanser's aeroplane wing was
broken and the machine wobbled Q
short distance before falling. The aero.
plane landed in a tree top, the aviators
falling through the boughs and escap.
ing serious injuries. They then found
that they were on an island i'll the
flooded Seine. No boats are running
and the two men waved signal flag;
and called aloud for hours before they
we're finally seen and rescued.
