coming down several thousand feet
We Oyercame this difficulty.
Everything went well for few
hours, when once again the circula-
ton system became choked and the
temperature of the water rose to the
boiling point. We OF course realized
that until the pipe was cleared We
could not rise much higher without
using lot of motor power.
when we We're about ten and one
half hours on our way the circulation
system was still giving trouble, and
we realized We could not go on using
up our motor power.
Then it was we reached the fate
full decision to play for safety. We
changed our course and began to fiy
diagonally across the main shipping
route for about two and a half hours,
when, to our great relief, we sighted
the Danish steamer which proved to
be the tramp Mary.
1--WE at once sent up our very light
distress signals. These were an
swered promptly, and then we flew
on about two miles and landed in the
water ahead of the steamer.
"The sea was exceedingly rough,
and despite the utmost efforts of the
Danish crew It was one and half
hours before they succeeded in taking
rs off 1t was only at a great risk TO
themselves, in fact, that they eventu-
ally succeeded in launching small
boat. owing to the heavy gale from
the northeast which was raging.
1T was found impossible to save
the machine, which, however, is most
probably still afoat somewhere in the
mid-Atlantic.
Altogether, before being picked up,
we had been fourteen and a half
hours out from Newfoundland. We
were picked up at $50 British sum

"From Captain Duhn of the Mary
and his Danish crew we received the
greatest kindness on our journey

and il was not until we arrived off the
Butt of Lewis that we were able TO
communicate with the authorities.
"Off Loeb Eireball we were met by
the destroyer Woolston and conveyed
to Scapa Flow, where we had a
splendid welcome home from Admiral
Freemantle and the men Of the Grand
Fleet

navigator of the Sopwith, said:

DR.. HENRY c. DAY
Lifelong Resident Died Suddenly
Monday Afternoon.

DR.. Henry C. Day, "a. lifelong
resident of Bennington, died suddenly
Monday afternoon at his home on
North street. Death was due prob
ably to acute Indigestion. He had
been in considerable distress all day
Sunday and did not sleep Sunday
night. Early Monday afternoon he
went to his room on the second floor
with the intention Of going to bed.
Here he was found by his nephew.
Buel d. Miller The attending physi-
clan said that death must have oc-
Cured between two and three hours
earle:
The deceased was born in the house
where he passed away, the son of the
late Elisha Day. He attended the Col
lege OF Physicians and Surgeons in
New York and also the medical school
Of Columbia university. He did not
practice long after receiving his di-
ploma but opened drug store on
Main street where he was in business
for close to a quarter of century.
He sold the business 22 years ago to
William l.. Gokay whom he had en-
ployed as clerk He is survived by a
widow and one daughter, Mrs. Frank
H. Cheever of Springfield, Mass. A
sister, Miss Jane c. Day, died the
past month. Other than Buel d.
Miller he leaves two nephews, Earl
d. Miller of Newtonville, N. Y, and
Elmer H. Peelor of Bennington.
While he always manifested an in
terest in public affairs, DR.. Day did
not take an active part in local poll
tics. He had served the village, how
ever, as a member Of the board or
trustees and also as school trustee.
He had long been a member of Mount
1 Anthony lodge, f. and A. NJ.
Dr. Day will be best remembered in
Bennington as newspaper cores
pondent, as he had been the local
writer for the Troy Times during the
past 36 years, retiring but few
months ago He was versatile
writer a thorough grammarian and
his knowledge Of men and events Of
the pioneer and revolutionary periods
was exceeded by no other resident of
community that had large part in
the making Of colonial and later day
history in Vermont.
In his work for the Times DR.. Day
faithful yand accurately chronicled
the happenings OF the day in Benning-
ton but 1t was as a writer Of histori-
cal sketches that he did his best
work. He possessed the unusual fac
ulty of being able to weave about the
! lives OF men who had long rested in
the cemetery at Old Bennington
articles that held the attention Of the
reader to the last line. His research
was painstakingt and his facts were
authentic, his style was graceful and
the finished product of his pen al
4 ways showd evidence of careful prep
laration.
AZ Mrs. Day, Mrs. Cheeyer and hus-
band arrived here today from Spring
field and the funeral will be held at 4
o'clock Wednesday. Thursday morn
ing the body will be taken TO Green
field for burial.

DON A. eIsssE PARpoNED

Bristol, May 26.-Dr Don A. Bisbee.
who. by mistake. sold wood alcohol
for beverage purposes while In the
drug business in this town in the fall
OF 1914, 10 persons dying as q result
OF drinking the poisonous beverage.
arrived in this town Friday afternoon,
having been pardoned by Governor
Clement after he had served four
years and four months OF his l2-year
term In the state prison at Windsor.
He was found guilty of manslaughter.
DR.. Bisbee, who is about 10 years
old, was in cheerful mood when
seen at the hotel here. He appears to
be in much better health than when
committed to the prison. His plans
for the future, he stated, were indei
mite but that for obvious reasons he
probably would not remain in this vi.
cinity.
At the time of his trial. which be.
gan in December, 1914. the respond
ent claimed that he ordered from a
Troy, N. w. firm quantity of alco.
hol which he intended to sell illegally
as beverage and that the shipment
came labeled cologne spirits" This
he sold to his customers, who, after
drinking the stuff, Immediately be-
came III, 10 dying within a short time
and two others succumbing later. An
analysis Of the liquid which he had
sold showed II to be wood alcohol.
Dr. Bisbee later brought legal ao.
tion against the firm which shipped
him the poisonous beverages without
the proper labels and within the last
year the firm settled with him for
$l.7OO, thus accepting the responsi.
billty for the error.
This fact did more than anything
else to help DR. Bisbee to gain his
freedom. as II released him from all
blame except that Of selling intoxicat
ing liquor contrary TO the law.
