WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Ensign E.
A. Stone, United States Naval Reserves.
of Norfolk, Va, given up for drowned
in the English Channel last month, has
safely arrived in London, according to
information received here to-day from
the London representative of the Com
mittee on Public Information. With a
companion, Stone chung for eighty
hours, without food or drink, to the
underside of seaplane pontoon be-
fore he was saved.
Ensign Stone tells a thrilling story
Of how he and companion, Sub-Iieu-
tenant Uric Moore, of the Royal Naval
Air Service, drifted on the seas from
a Saturday morning until Tuesday
night before reaching safety. His ac-
count follows:
81 left our station in British sea-
plane as pilot, with Sub Lieutenant
Eric Moore, of the Royal Naval Air
Service as observer. at 8 a. m. Our
duty was to convoy patrols. When two
hours out, having met our ships COM
ing from the westward, we thought we
sighted a periscope ahead and turned
off in pursuit. We lost our course.
Our engine dropped dead and at 1880
o'clock forced us to land on the sur
face in rough sea.
Carrier Pigeons Released
Eve had no kite or radio to call
for assistance, so we released our two
carrier pigeons. We tied message
with our position and the word sink
ing on each. The first, the blue-barred
one, few straight off and reached home.
But the other, which was white
checked, lit on our machine and would
not bulge until Moore threw our navi-
cation clock at him. which probably
upset him so that he failed us.
Heavy seas smashed our tail planes,
which kept settling. l saw they were
pulling the machine down by the rear,
turning her over. We tore the tail
fabric to lessen the impact of the
waves. 1t wasn't any use to stop. The
tail fiat was smashed and it's box filled
with water. This increased the down.
ward leverage and rose her perpendic-
ularly- in the air. At $3.50 p. m. we
capsized, climbing up the nose and
over the top to the under side Of the
pontoons.
"Our emergency ration had been in
the observers seat at the back, but we
had been so busy trying to repair the
motor and save ourselves from turning
over that'we didn't remember this until
too late. When l crawied aft for food
Moore saw that was only helping the
machine to capsize. He yelled to me to
come back and I did, just in time to
save myself from being carried down
with the tail and drowned.
Lashed by Seas Four Days
From then on for nearly four days,
until picked up by trawler, we were
continually soaked and dashed by seas,
and had nothing to eat or drink We

British infantry positions. A call for
help was sent to the nearest British
tank camp and a squadron, including
both "male" and "female" tanks, soon
appeared on the scene. A rough and
tumble combat ensued
Germans Fled After a Beating
The British female tanks, which APP
peared first, were outfought, but the
arrival of the heavier male tanks COM
pletely changed the situation and the
Germans fled after receiving a bad
beating.
Meanwhile the British had brought
up seven of the new fast cruiser type,
called "whippet tanks" which de-
bouched and attacked the enemys in

The whippets ran from shell hole to

and completely disorganizing the
enemy's preparations for attack.
These seven tanks, each with full
crew of twenty men, inflicted more

casualties on board the tanks were
only five men.
The tanks left their base shortly
