SAVE HAWKER AND
GR|EVE FROM SEA
AvIAToRs WHO WERE LOST" FOR
FULL WEEK PICKED UP BY
DANISH SHIP.
Machine Stopped Owing to Engine
Trouble and Men Were in Water
Hour and a Half Before Being
Picked up by Little Steamer.

London.-Harry G. Hawker and
Lieut.. Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
the rwo airmen who started on May Is
i'm an attempt to fly across the Atlantic
ocean from st. Johns. \. f., have been
picked up at sea and landed in Scot
land. Both men are in perfect health.
Ii is officially announced by the
admiralty that the aviators were
picked up in latitude 500 longitude
1880. having alighted close to the lit
tie steamer Mary, owing to a stop
page of circulation iK the water pipes
between the radiator and the water
pump.
Hawker and Grieve were in the
water for an hour and half before
being taken aboard the steamer Mary.
In view of the rescue of the avia-
tors, Lord Northcliffe's order for a
division of the Daily Mail prize Of
$500 between the families of Hawker
and Grieve now becomes void, but the
Mail announces that a consolation prize
of $4,000 will be divided between the
two men who made such gallant at
tempt to accomplish the feat and Sc
cure the honor of the first tranS-At-
lantc crossing for Britain.
In an interview Monday night, Har-
ry G. Hawker said that he was twelve
and half hours away from the New
foundland coast when he and his COM
panion were compelled to make a play
for safety. Accordingly, they took a
9O-degree turn in their course and flew
across the main shipping route. They
lowered over the lane for two and a
half hours before the Mary was
sighted.
Signals from the Sopwith plane were
answered promptly and the British avn
atOrs essayed landing on the sea,
coming down ahead of the steamer
after flying with her for about two
miles.
A very heavy sea was encountered,
the airmen being compelled to battle
with the sea for ninety miles before
Delng taken ABOARD.
The Sopwith machine did not sink.
Efforts to save the plane were fruit
less, but she probably is still afloat
somewhere ON the Atlantic
st. Johns. N. F.-News of the rescue
of Harry Hawker and Lieutenant Com
mander Mackenzie Grieve, which was
flashed here Sunday by wireless, was
received here with the greatest en-
thusiasm especially in the Martinsyde
camp at Quidi Vidi, where Hawker's
rival, Captain Frederick p. Raynham,
is pushing preparations for another
attempt to make the crossing. Hawker
and Grieze made host of friends dur.
ing their stay here and the general
conviction that they had been lost at
sea had caused sincere sorrow. Sun
days report of their safety brought q
corresponding degree of gladness to the
hearts of their numerous friends and
we'll wishers.
