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.
