Million To One Chance
Saves Crew OF Plane
(By Associates PresS)

LONDON, Nov. l8.-The crew
of naval aircraft from a British
carrier owe their lives to a 1,000,-
000-to-1 chance and good naviga-
ton. The aircraft failed to return
to the carrier as it should have
done at dusk. So the captain
turned the ship about to look for
it. Estimates were made of the
course the machine should have
taken and the carrier steamed
back along this track. Dusk turn
ed to dark. The chances of find
ing the plane became Simmer and
Simmer.
Then suddenly a lookout re-
ported hearing a shout coming
from the sea. Searchlights were
switched on and there was the
crew of the aircraft less than 100
yards from the carrier hanging
on to a wheel and a piece of float
ing wreckage.
1T was slick piece of naviga-
ton to go so far back and get
within 100 yards of Them" an Of
ficer said. But even so we should
never have seen them. By some
queer trick of sound a man in
the director tower heard their
shouts. We were going 20 knots
and l suppose there was one
chance in 100000 of hearing a
shout above the noise of the ship
at that speed"

toms position as Commander Ac-
ton Division will be temporarily
assumed by E. P. Winter, Ex-
ecutive Director.
Because of other duties requir-
ing his full time, F. o. Eberhardt,
Senior Warden, found it neces-
sary to resign and Frank Cato,
Warden District No. 6, was ap-
pointed Senior Warden.
The meeting was attended by
Colonel Waite, U.S.A., and Capt.
Quisenberry, Eng Corps, U.S-A,
and Lieut.. A. D. McMaster, U.S.N.
and all offered fullest cooperation
of their respective branches to
the activities of the Defense Coun-
Gil.
