GRAHAMB- WHITES
TROUBLES In AIR
On Honeymoon Trip in Aeroplane
Engine Breaks Down Endan-
gering Life Of Pilot.

London, Aug. s.-Speaking Of his flight
from France on the completion Of his
honeymoon, Claude Grahame-White said
that he had endless troubles with his
engine
Soon after leaving Etampes with his
pilot, Noel, he had to descend in a
wheat field, and the machine was carted
back to Paris for repairs. Starting again
all went well until Abbeville was reach
ed, when the engine stopped dead at a
moment Another cylinder had gone
wrong. They had to send back again to
Paris for a new cylinder and piston.
A very thick fog and a strong wind
prevailed when he set out across the
Channel at 4:3o o'clock on Sunday morn
ing. After being fog-bound for some
time they Unexpectedly saw land only
half a mile ahead. but could not recog-
nize the coast line They alighted on
the water, steered for the shore, and
found that they were near Dungeness.
Here the coast guard advised them as to
their course.
On reaching Hythe 1t was found that
they had run out Of petrol. The floats
enabled them to wait until some fisher
men put off in boats to their assistance
and brought them a further supply.
Folkestone was reached about 8 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon.
On the beach Grahame-white was met
by his wife.
Soon after setting out for London the
old trouble arise with the engine, and
they were forced to land between Ash
ford and Maidstone.
Resuming in the very strong wind they
had a hazardous time going through a
terrific rainstorm at a height of 1900
feet. They were steering for the Crys-
tai Palace. but were compelled to de-
scend in q strawberry field near Orp-
ington.
Even on the last stage OF the journey
from orpington the aviator encountered
another terrific rainstorm. Mr.. Grahame-
White said that the machine rode beau
tifully. the trouble being due to the mo-
tor.

LADY MANNERS BREAKS
UP ROMANCE BY HER
ENGAGEMENT TO MARQUIS

London, Aug. 3--The recent announce
ment of Lady Marjorie Manners en-
gagement to the Marquis OF Anglesey.
has set tongues wagging about Prince
Arthur of Connaught, who is said to have
long resisted the marriage the royal fam
lily has desired for him with Russian
princess. and resisted It because he had
lost his heart to this beautiful daugh-
ter of the Duke OF Rutland.
Prince Arthur Is said to have vowed
that he would remain single If he could
not marry Lady Marjorie. But with the
unattainable definitely removed. he may
become more tractable TO his royal rela-
tives, who are anxious that h1 shall
make a marriage which will pave the
way for his promotion one day as vice

London, Aug. 3.-Once more Cocos. a
tiny island in the Pacific Ocean. is to be
visited by an expedition in search Of the
fabulous treasures reputed to have been
buried there by pirates.
Two women who were on the island
last year are said to have located the
precise position of the hoard. which sue
cessive parties have failed to discover.
and syndicate has been formed to pur-
sue investigations. At Plymouth the
steamer Melmore. a vessel with a ten
knot capacity. hitherto engaged In the
cross-channel traffic. Is fitting out for
the search. and will shortly leave the
port for Parry TO take in coal prepare
tory to sailing for Panama, where she
will pick up those said to hold the key
to the treasure.
Thence she will go to Cocos. 500 miles
southwest OF Panama. Included In the
personnel OF the expedition is the cine
matograph operator to secure films OF the
treasure seekers at work.
1t is reported that another expedition.
with the treasure as its object. is on the
way to the island. but in London last
night the rumor was discredited.
Cocos was invested with its romance
of a buried treasure nearly a century
ago. but though there have been twenty
different expeditions to the island. the
secret of the whereabouts of the board
has remained impenetrable so far.
It was In 1921 that the notorious pirate
Bonita. having ravaged the West Indies
and the west coast Of South America,
engineered his last great coup of captur-
irg the Mexican treasure. The worth OF
this haul is estimated at 100000. and
he buried II on Cocos, where, fierce
fight ensuing among his cut-throat crew.
he left fifteen of them dead ere he set
sail for the West Indies His infamous
career ended in that region
Entire Crew shot.
Fourteen years later the British bar
quentine Mary der, Capt. Thompson. was
in the harbor of Callao, when the Span
iards, who were being evicted from Peru.
decided TO consign their treasures, val
ued at e4.0o0.OcO 10 her hold for safety.
The honesty Of the captain and crew
melted away before the vision OF un-

captured the captain and his crew. most
q whom were shot. The captain es-
capped this fate and confided the position
OF the treasure to Canadian named
Heating, who. legend states. twice re-
covered valuables to the amount of
c2,OO0
Thus Cocos has acquired the reputation
OF yeritable treasure island, and, like
all the vague islands of that type. II Is
practically uninhabitable. For sixteen
years a German. having obtained con-
cessions from the Costa Rica govern
ment, which controls Cocos. existed there
in a Robinson Crusoe primitiveness, and
sought high and low for clews to the
hiding place of the pirates ill-gotten
gains, and at intervals exploring parties
have hunted over its extent of sixteen
square miles.
Other Expeditions.
In 1886 Admiral Palliser. Of II. NJ. s.
lmperiense. landed a party Of sailors and
marines on the island. but without re-
suit. Seven years afterward the admiral
made A second essay and in 1905 was a
member of the expedition under Earl
Fitzwilliam, which left England in the
Veronique ostensibly to look for potenr
tai coal fields. but was next heard of on
Cocos.
In landslide some native laborers
lost their lives. and members of the ex-
pedition-the earl among them-were in
jured- At that time sensational reports
obtained currency that the party had
met rivals in quest of the treasure and
battle had ensued, but these were re-
pudiated.
The women, who are said to have dis
covered the hiding place OF the treasure,
are Mrs. Barry TIL and Miss Davies,
VINO are already on their way to Panama
TO join the Melmore when she arrives
there. The exact date Of departure of
the latest expedition to Cocos Island has
not been fixed. but it will probably be
within week or so.
