Flyers Saved by Flare Produced by Pouring Gasoline on Tree By the Associated Press. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla, Feb- rurary 8—A flare, improvised at dusk by pouring gasoline on a man- go tree, probably saved the lives of Merle L. Fogg and R. G. Mills, who were marooned for four days on un- inhabitated Andros Island, in the British Bahamas, when their sea- plane became stuck in mud. The flare attracted a sloop, manned by five negro sponge fishermen, whose occupants brought food and | water to the marooned men. With the ald ‘of the negroes, the aviators succeeded in pulling their seaplane from the mud and carried the craft to Nassau for repairs. The seaplane left here last Tues- day in search of a missing barge owned by Mills, who 8 also a steam- ship representative. Darkness over- took the craft at sea and the flyers | were forced to descend on Andros. By accident the landing was made in deep mud and the ship stuck fast. Having no provisions, the men as- suaged their thirst for a time by drinking the water from the plane’s radiator, but this soon gave out. By Friday their condition was desperate and they took gasoline from the tanks and set fire to a mango tree, which soon brought aid. Necessary repairs and medical at- tention were obtained at Nassau and the men flew back late yesterday. Reserve Age Limit Set.

From the days of Pope poets and people in all of the virtues of coffee on down to the present, walks of life have sung as a beverage.
