. Gerrsany's series of notes protest

growing worse. The advantage OIL

Some LOO miles out from New

coast on Monday, May 49,. the aviators
8 making the best of an engine which
was failing to function properly, were
forced to aligat on the water. The
Iittie Danish steamer Mary, bound
from New Orleans and Norfolk for
Eahnus, Denmark, picked the way
faEsIs and continued on her north
wsr yoyage.
Lacking wireless outfit, the cap

nailed by means of flags that Hawke!

Quickly word was flashed to the
British admiralty, which sent out de-
stroyers to oyertake the Danish YES
sci and obtain confirmation. This was
done and one Of the destroyers took
s the airmen off and later transferred
them to The flagship Revenge.

a message tonight tina. his machine

The one person in England who had

never ceased to believe that some
