Lyon and Lancaster plan to carry $50
gallons of fuel, enough for round trip.
1t was explained that they were taking
the extra fuel so that if they miss
the island on their flight they would
have enough gas left to make the
mainland.

smaller than either of the Pacific is
lands he found on the Southern Cross
flight.
The difficulties of navigation caused
cancellation of an air race from this

Plainville, July 1l-Another ver- sion of the drowning accident at Thompson's brook Monday afternoon was given out today by Constable Gleason H.

Credit for rescuing those who were saved in what almost became quadruple drowning IS given by this later yer sion to Harold Thompson, 26, and Miss Mildred Orvis. 20, but the fact that young Morante gave his life in attempting to save a friend is un- questioned.
 Mike Jerolomy got beyond his depth, according to Constable saun- ders, and Mario went to his rescue. Mike had completely lost his senses in his peril and seized Mario carry ing him under. Then Mario's older brother. William Morante, dove in for the pair and also went down in Jerolomy's clutch. A third attempt ing rescuer, Earl Orvis, IS, suffered a like fate.
 Then Mildred Orvis plunged tn and succeeded in breaking her brother loose from the tangled mass of bodies in the water, dragging him to shore. Harold Thompson, fol- lowing her. grabbed Jerolomy by the head and pulled him to the bank. When he arrived he found that he had saved two lives, William Nor ante, unconscious, having his arms locked around Jerolomy's body.
 It was necessary to work over William for 20 minutes before he was revived, and in the excitement , over the resuscitation Mario was forgotten until half an hour later
 When the notice of the rapidly gathering crowd was finally called to the fact that there was still an. other boy in the water, John F Lamb dove in and with the aid ol Constable Saunders succeeded in re. | covering the body.

 No Bones Broken.

After falling from the roof of a three story house at 7s Smith street late yesterday afternoon, John Jankowski, of 14S Miller street, stood up, brushed off his clothing, and walked back into the house while an assembled group of neigh bors and passerbys stood with mouths agape.
 Dr. John J. Tokarczyk, who had been called and notified of the na- ture of the accident, came with all possible haste expecting to find an unconscious man with shattered bones and was astonished to find the subject of his call standing in a room examining a bruise on his arm.
 Scarcely able to believe his eyes the doctor gave Jankowski a cursory examination but could find nothing more serious than bruises. He sug- Eested that Jankowslii go to the New Britain General hospital to have H-ray pictures taken but the idea was scoffed at by the patient who decided he would first go home and possibly in few days take trip to the hospital. Today Jankowski is in bed suffering from the bruises he suffered. but apparently none the worse otherwise
