GERMAN-IRISH FLIERS TELL STORY OF HAZARDOUS FLIGHT (COWTIMVED Fl«»vf PAGE <>!*£» ".ere not sure of their di r ections. They wore utterly unable to compute their mileage, so uncertain was the forward progress they were nicking. But they believed they were nearing the coast of Newfoundland, "omewhat to the north of St. Johns over which they hail expected to fly. Get Sight Os Land The gas supply, however, was running lower and lower. They must reach land soon or plunge into the sea. They decided to come down to a still lower altitude in the hope of sighting land. That they did and it was only 20 minutes later that they were Living ever land. However isolated and uninhabited it might be, it brought fresh courage. The flyers realized that they must have made several circles in their flight at that-point. Because they remained in the air approximately four hours after sighting land and yet. as Bhey can see now, it was only about 40 or 50 mies from the eastern coastline cf Newfoundland to the spot where they- came down on Greenly Island. Final*y at about 5.30 p.m.. Friday, their fuel supply was reduced to virtually nothing and they realized they must land at once, and found to their consternation that they again were over water. Nearby they sighted an island, an ice-bound lake on it. They camo down as cautiously as possible in the face of the gale, and made a sharp and skiddy landing on the ice. Ihe ice cracked and the plane’s tail skid was damaged. But the Bremen came to a full stop and the three weary men stepped out on the ice without a scratch or a bruise. They were in a strange and barren land. As far as they coflld see in any direction were frozen stretches of land and the ice-blocked straits which connect the Gulf of St. Lawrence with tho open Atlantic. They sawno trees, no buildings, no habitation, no life of any kind. They had conquered the Atlantic but they had no idea where they were or in what direction they should strike out to reach some sort of civilization. It was not long, however, before they found the Greenly Island lighthouse and Jacques le Tempier who tends it. They were warmed and fed. and sinuo that time have been comfortably quartered. They inspected their plane and found the damages more serious than at first believed. They also were confronted with a lack of fuel. Le Tempier had a supply of gasoline, but it was not suitable. Around the barren settlement, they found materials, however, and started to make repairs on the under-car-riage, trusting that eventually a fuel supply would be brought to them. Sunday, the first attempt to reach Greenly Island from the outside world succeeded. It remained for Dr. Louis Cuisinier and Duke Schiller, both of

Mass. them experienced pilots, to fly a Fairchild monoplane into the face of a bitter gale and make a landing. Cuisinier and Schiller carried supplies and equipment for repairs with them and were received joyfully. The flight was considered nothing short of miraculous. Cuisinier and Schiller left Murray Bay. which is about 90 miles from Quebec, at 10:50 a. m„ Saturday and stopped over night here at Seven Is’ands. Early Sunday, although the gale became more intense, they took off for Greenly Island. Meanwhile, the Canadian government's ice cutter Montcalm was fighting the ice jams out in the Gulf of St. attempting desperately to force its way. to Greenly Island. — o Bluffton Banks Buy Two Machine Guns luffton.
