f/ y l f \ - X J mm wuior IS KWD ■ 0 Harry G. Hawker Picked Up by Small Steamer. .* r London, May 25.—^Harry G. Hawker nnd Lieut. Commander MacKenzie Grieve, the two airmen who started -last Sunday 4n an attempt to fly across the Atlantic ocean from St Johns, N. F., have been picked up at sea and’ landed iin Scotland. Both men are in perfect health. It is officially announced by the ad miralty that the aviators were pick ed up in latitude 50.20, ongitude 29.30, having alighted close to the little Danish steamer Mary. Owing to stoppage of circulation in the water pipes between the radiator and the water pump, the aviators had to land in the sea. The airplane, a Sopwith machine, was not salvaged. The first report of the aviators since their “jump oh” last Sunday came when the .Mary, which was bound from Norfolk to Aarhuus, rounded the butt of Lewis today and wigwagged the fact that she had Hawker and Grieve aboard. “Saved hands of Sopwith air plane!” was the signal. “Is it Hawker?” was the question sent out by the flags from the Butt, which is the most northwesterly point of the Hebrides group off Scotland. “Yes,” laconically replied the Mary. The admiralty immediately sent out a fast torpedo boat destroyer in an endeavor to intercept the Mary and i take off the aviators. There was an anxious wait of several hours, when the word was flashed that the de stroyer had come across the steamer and transferred Hawker and Grieve and was taking them to Thurso, on the nothern coast of Scotland about 100 miles east of the Butt of Lewis. The destroyer, the Revenge, re ported to the admiralty this evening that Hawker and Grieve would sleep on board tonight. The aviators will reach London at 7 o’clock Tuesday evening. The news\of the rescue has electri fied all Britain. All destroyers, s af- ter a thorough search of the Atlantic for 300 miles from the Irish coast had given up the quest and there was practically no hope that th«~airmen alive. . however* the forlorn that the aviators might be pick- f ed up by some craft without wire- dess was realized. The Danish steam er Mary, crawling along at nine knots •was the lucky vessel, and her brief message to the watchers at the Butt ©I Lewis, as she proceeded on her tiriScotiand left -the_piiblic to speculate wonderingly over the de tails of the airmen’s adventures. The admiralty immediately dis- ipatched destroyers from northern ‘points to intercept the Mary and the Daily Mail instructed all signal sta tions to try to communicate with the captain with the urgent request to land the aviators at some Scottish port. ‘ The admiralty quest succeeded, and a wireless message came from the destroyer Woolson late in the even ing that she had overtaken the Mary and had transferred the avia tors. Nothing except some great battle has excited London more than to day's unexpected tidings. The public was disposed to question wehther the first report could be trusted, and the admiralty statement that it was tak ing measures to verify the report in dicated doubt which the Woolson’s message dispelled. The modest Hawker home near Surbiton was quickly the center of interest. Crowds of people swarmed there about Mrs. Hawker, who only last Saturday had received a message of condolence from King George. “I had a presentment all along that I should see my husband again. I was confident all the time, although every one condoled with me. I am over joyed and too overcome to talk now,” said M\s. Hawker.
