i hantiiiliat SPANISH PLANE CREW RESCUED FROM OCEAN HAILED IN GIBRALTAR Major Franco and Companions Are Given Rousing Recep- tion by Thousands Gibraltar, July 2.—(#)—The Span- ish transatlantic aviators, Major Ramon Franco and three companions, arrived in Gibraltar at 9:50 a. = day, almost as great heroes in adver- sity as they would have been in suc- cess. They were brought here by H. M. 8. Eagle, British airplane carrier, which picked them up Saturday morning 100 miles southeast of the Azores, where a fuel shortage had forced them down seven days before on their trip from Cartagena, Spain, to New York. Thousands lined the water front and cheered as the Eagle swept into the harbor beneath the brow of tar, where the flyers and a re- ception ‘party of Spanish and British Officials debarked. In Good Condition Major Franco and his three com- panions, Major Eduardo Gonzales Gallarza, Captain Julio Ruiz de Alda, and the mechanic Pedro Madariaga were all in fine condition, well and happy at the demonstration of wel- come accorded them. Their plane, a Dornier Wal 16, which the Eagle salvaged at the time they were picked up, was too damaged’ to be flown to Alcazares air drome, Cartagena, from where the flyers started more than a week ago. It was left aboard the Eagle temporarily to be removed and repaired later. The program for the aviators at Gibraltar today included a trip to government house to express their thanks to British officials for their rescue, a visit to a Roman Catholic church to hear mass, and luncheon at the Spanish consulate general. On Way to Spain They will cross the Spanish frontier to Algeciras, across the bay, this aft- ernoon where an even greater wel- come than they received from the cheering thousands here await them. Remaining tonight at Algeciras by order of the Spanish dictator, General Primo de Rivera, they will leave to- morrow for Madrid where an official welcome will be given them. _The greeting of Major Franco and his wife, who came here yesterday from Madrid, took place aboard the Eagle away from prying eyes. She was accompanied by Franco's father, and Governor Mario Muslera of Algeciras. They met the Eagle in the bay in a launch. Franco was the only married man of the four. Clings to Hope How he clung to a forlorn hope and followed a fantastic light gleam near the Azores Saturday morning to save the lives of the Spanish transatlantic aviators was told by Lieutenant R. A. Kilroy of H. M. 8. Eagle upon his arrival here today. Lieutenant Kilroy was on watch be- fore dawn Saturday morning of last week. Neither he nor his fellow offi- cers believed there was @ chance the Dornier Wal plane of Major Ramon Franco still floated. They only hoped against hope. At 4 a. m. there was a queer weird beam from the surface of the sea far to the south c’ him. It might have been most anything but Lieutenant Kilroy turned the Eagle about and in a few minutes was able to make out the plane with the four Spaniards ae waving and gesticulating to im. a Lieutenant Kilroy was reticent but Major Franco was more voluble. He told how they sent out wireless mes- Sages after they came down south- east of the Azores. These gave their position, but apparently they were not Picked up. Day after day they drifted with the wind. And on their fifth end sixth day afloat, Thursday and Friday, June 27 ‘and June 28, a heavy sea made them fear that would be their last. On the morning of Saturday, June 29, Major Gonzales Gallarza saw a vessel's light, probably 20 miles awa: The aviators flashed their own bengal lights and sent up some rockets, then spent anxious moments wondering if they were seen. Taken on Board The flyers were taken aboard, and at six o'clock, two hours after they were sighted, their plane was lifted up by the Eagle's hoists and 1 on one of the decks. Lieutenant Kil- roy said Major Franco and his three companions were exceedingly cheer- ful despite their danger. The men were given tea and cigar- ettes, They later joined in deck games. Played cards with the British officers and were once entertained by @ special concert. They were given some grey flannel trousers and tr coats from the civilian kits of the Eagle's. officers, because their own clothes had -been ruined. Although they still had plenty of food aboard, their drinking water was running short and they had been using water from the engine and radio tanks. They were visited aboard the Dornier by Lieutenant Stevenson of the Eagle before they cam> aboard. He shook hands with them and they thanked him earnestly. Fog Hides Sea Major Franc» told the story of their landing early Saturday morning, June they were id on the journey with visibility greatly impaired by layers of clouds. ‘There was dense fog over the in which they could find no ‘They knew they were over the but if they attempted to fly their bearings they asfonceg fage: bella baad Let Contract Today To Rebuild Elevator (Tribune ‘Special Service) Dickinson, N. D., July 2—The con- tract will be let here today for the construction of a new 50,000-bushel grain elevator to replace the one de- stroyed by fire recently, it was de- cided at a meeting of stockhoiders of the Farmers Cooperative Union ele- vator Saturday. Astual construction of the building will be got under way as soon as pos- sible in order to complete the struc- ture by September 1. The elevator will be finished with corrugated sheet metal and will be 102 feet in height. The distance from the ground to the top of the cribbing will be 62 feet. ‘The new elevator, although of the same capacity as the one which burned, will have four more bins, or @ total of 18, for storing grain. CALIFORNIA PLANE LANDS WITH GRASH INRECORD ATTEMPT Tiny Craft Goes Dead 5,000 Feet in Air While Fog Hides Earth Metropolitan Airport, Los Angeles, July 2.—(®)—The attempt of Leo Nomis and Maurice Morrison to estab- lish a new record for endurance flying came to an exciting end here this morning when the motor of their tiny plane stopped 5,000 feet above the air- port and they nosed down through a fog bank and crashed at the edge of the field. Both flyers were cut about the face and head. Their injuries were dressed at the field, after which they declared they would take off again as soon as their plane could be fixed. They made their rough-and-tumble landing at 1:05 a.m, after 41 hours and 35 minutes in the air. Nomis said the wiring of the ignition system must have gone bad, as all the plane's lights went out when the en- gine stopped. The fog was blamed for the crash. Nomis praised the coolness and ability of Morrison, who was at the controls. “We must haye skidded a hundred feet or more on the fuselage before we stopped,” Nomis said. “Morrison and I were thrown forward by the! impact and we got a good bump when our heads struck the cowling.” The flyers were still optimistic over the prospects of setting a new record, and said they would be back in the air again in three or four days, de- pending on how seriously the plane was damaged. They hope to surpass the record of 172 hours 32 minutes and 1 second held by Reginald aval bins and James Kelly of Fort Worth, Tex. DICKINSON NORMAL GREETS PRESIDENT!
