"Dawn,' Poised for Mop from Old Orchard to Europe, shows Sea worthineSs in Two Hour Battle with Tides

Old Orchard, Maine, Oct. 1S tP> The Sikorsky plane, the Dawn. showed her seaworthiness today. when after two hours Of buffcting by the surf she emerged from the receding tide, undamaged.
 Although it was an anxious pc riod, there was only few minutes of serious danger when steel drum, filled with gasoline, which had been floatod by the unusually high tide, was seized upon by the roaring surf as a battering ram and hurled toward the plane.
 The crew of the Dawn. already soaked to the waist, jumped into the surf and succeeded in bleaching the drum at a safe distance. short ly thereafter the waters, which had come to the very doors of the han gar, began 10 reCede and the group of cold and soaking men went back 10 the comfort of the hotel.
 Floats Like Boat
 For nearly an hour al the crest of the tide, the rollers had swept completely about the plane, but huoyed up by her boat like cabin and two pontoons, the Dawn, which is prepared for Mrs. Frances W. Grayson's flight 10 Copenhagen, lifted and settled gently without strain. The two Wright motors are perched well up on the front and. covered closely with canvas, as they gre, lto sea water reached them.
 fn the midst Of the excite raen,. word was received on the beach of the rescue of Miss Elder and her companion off the Azores. and Mrs. Grayson immediately cabled her congratulations.
 The next problem to confront the crew of the plane will be the effor, at the next low tide, this evening, 10 move her from the hollow gouged out by the waves. The ship with its full load of gasoline weighs ap- proximatcly 11,o00 pounds.
 Carl r. Schory. secretary Of the contact committee of the National 4 Aeronautic association, arrived here today. He will seal the baro- graph at the start Of the flight.
 The position of the Dawn, amphi- aian plane which has been groomed for q flight to Copenhagen, became prccarious shortly before noon to- day. when a record tide with the added impetus of q southeast gale reached out to enGulf the plane, resting on the sands well above the normal high-Water mark.
 An hour before the waters were 70 reach their full flood, the rollers were pounding on the beach and spreading far up under the plane The ship settled with its heavy load IS the sand was eaten away under he blanks on which it rested.
 Captain Harry M. Jones, who was the situation closely, sum- noncd all of the group of men who had been waiting in the hotel as shelter from the driving rain.
 Fight Angry Waters
 With shovels and sandbags they sought to stem the cncroaching wa ,ers until some plan could be evolved for moving the plane.
 Since the machine had a capacity oad of gasoline and oil in prepara ion for q start, making a gross weight Of some 11,000 pounds, if was q grave problem if if could b. shifted higher on the loose but
