AVIATOR FOUND
800 MILES OFF
IRISH COAST
CONTINUED from Page One.)


lorn hope that the aviators might
be picked up by some craft without
wireless was realized. The Danish
steamer Mary, crawling along at
Zine knots, was the lucky vessel,
and her brief message to the watch
ers at the Butt of Lewis, as she
proceeded on her way to Scotland,
left the public to speculate wonder
ingly over the details of the airmen' S
adventures.
Send Out Destroyers.
The admiralty Immediately dis
patched destroyers from northern
POINTS to intercept the Mary. and
the Daily Mail instructed all signal
stations to try to communicate with
the captain, with the urgent request
to land the avators at some Scott
lsh port. The admiralty quest sue
ceeded. and a wireless message came
from the destroyer Woosun late in
the evening that she had overtaken
the Mary and had transferred the
aviators.
Nothing except some great battle
has excited London more than to-
days unexpected tidings. The pub
lie was disposed to question wheth-
er the first report could be trusted.
and the admiralty statement that it
was taking measures to verify the
report indicated doubt, which the
Woolsun's message dispelled.
Mrs. Hawker Confident.
The modest Hawker home near
Surbiton was quickly the center of
interest. Crowds of people swarmed
there. Mrs. Hawker. who had only
on Saturday received a telegram of
coincidence from King George, said:
Il had a presentment all along
that l should see my husband again.
| was confident all the time, al
though everyone condoled with me.
am over joyed and too overcome to
talk now"
Hawker has sent the following
message from the Revenge to the
Daily Mail:
my machine stopped owing to the
water filter in the feed pipe from
the radiator to the water pump be-
ing blocked with refuse, such as SOL
der, the like shaking loose in the
radiator"
1T was no fault of the motor,
which ran absolutely perfect from
start to finish, even when all the
water had boiled away
"We had no trouble in landing on
the sea, where we were picked up
by the tramp ship Mary, after being
in the water for 90 minutes. We
leave at 2 p. m. Monday, arriving in
London Tuesday evening"
Wife Receives the News.
Mrs. Hawker, wife of the aviator,
received the news from the Mary
early this morning at her home near
Surbiton and posted a notice out
side her home, reading:
"Mr. Hawker has been found. He
is on the boat Mary, bound for Dem
mark"
A crowd of villagers soon gath
cred and showered Mrs. Hawker
with congratulations.
The London Daily Mail, which
offered a purse of $4,000 for the
first flight by a heavier than air
craft across the Atlantic ocean, will
give Hawker and Grieve a consol

than the people of Omaha realize;
and the people of the towns and
cities on the trade excursion route
will force Omaha to become larg-
er city and more important bust
ness center, regardless of any effort
on the part of Omaha; but, if the
business men of Omaha are to get
their share of the commerce of
these western communities, they
must keep Omaha moving to the
front and must cooperate in the de-
velopment of its territory.
Learn Country and People.
Not only was a great deal learned
about the trade conditions, but the
Omaha boosters made the acquaint-
ance of many men along the route
taken by the special train; and,
Judging from the size of the crowds
which were on hand at every sta
ton when the train arrived and the
warm welcome given Omaha men,
the people in those towns and cities
have a kindly feeling toward the
city of Omaha and want to give it
their preference when selecting a
market for their products.
Representatives of the different
departments of the Chamber of
Commerce were on the train gather
ing information concerning obsta-
clcs to the movement of trade
through Omaha, with a view to &C
complishing proper readjustments.
However, the long journey of
$500 miles was not all hard fig
ures and plain business facts. 1t
had its pleasures and its little in
cidents that will never be forgotten.
The country traversed was one OF
historic interest, where many of the
great events of the Indian vars took
place. Old Fort Robinson in the
Crawford Valley was passed the sec
ond day. As the train left Sher-
idan, Fort Mckenzie, an important
post in pioneer days, and still main
tanned, could be seen outside the city
limits. In Montana. the Little Horn
river was crossed below the point
where the Sioux and Cheyenne In
dams were routed by General Crook;
and just before reaching Grow
Agency, the capitol of the Crow In
dian reservation. the famous Custer
battlefield was visible.
Reception By Indians.
The Crow Indians who have al

gave the Omaha men a cordial re-

custom, willingly posed for camera
