SKIPPER TELLS ABOUT
 RUTH ELDERS RESCUE
Says Plane Exploded as It Was About to Be
 Taken on Board

Horta. Island of Fayal, Azores oct. l5 H7}-rhc story of the rescue of Ruth Elder, George w. Halde- man as told by Captain Coos of the steamship Barcndrecht to a corres- pondent of the Associated Press to- day was as follows:
 Tt was 7:45 a. m. on Thursday when our position was 432l north. 2l.39 west that we sighted the American Girl. She came rapidly up to Us and flying over our ship threw down a message which fell on our deck. The message read:
 How far are We from land and which way?-Ruth Elder
 After checking our position, we painted an answer on deck: True $40 west 3GO miles from Terceira, Azores
 This was understood by the avi ators and after the American Girl had circled over the Barendrecht, it began 10 descend and then landed alongside our ship.
 Miss Elder and her companion
  climbed to the top of the airplane and the crew of the Barendrecht rushed to their rescue in one of the ships boats which went alongside the machine. By means of ropes. the two aviators managed to get into the boat which then returned to the Bsrendrecht and all were safely taken aboard.
 "On hearing their position, Miss Elder and Captain Haldeman had decided that it was impossible for them to continue their flight even for the remaining 360 miles as the airplane's gauge showed that the cil pressure had dropped to five pounds.
 Tn accordance with their request. arrangements were made to hoist the airplane aboard the steamer, suddenly two explosions occurred just under the surface Of water and in q moment the whole machine was atire and we were obliged to cut all ropes and give up hope Of saving her.
 We then changed our course and made for Horta in order to land the aviators there. Both seemed pretty well despite the trying ordeal through which they had passed"
