SPANISH FLYER TELLS OF CAPTURE. Comdr. Burguete Story of Hunger and Hard- ships on Desert. By the Associated Press. MADRID, June 21.—A story of hun- ger and hardships under the broiling sun of the North African desert was told in a letter today from Comdr. Ricardo Burguete of the Spanish army air force, who, with three companions, was forced down almost a month ago near Cape Bojador and later ransomed. . Comdr. Burguete's companions were Capt. Nunerz Maza, Sergt. Vincente Per- Ter, the mechanic, and a Moorish chief- tain. When their planes were forced 10 land they were captured by wild tribesmen of the district and held until & ransom of 7.500 pesetas (about $300) was obtained for each. The letter said the tribesmen were heavily armed and threatened to shoot if the prisoners resisted. The men were marched across many blistering miles of the desert, almost perishing from thirst while the captors rode on camels. In the camp of the nomads the avia- tors were half-starved, and Sergt..Ferrer was especially abused, the letter said The tribesmen drew lots for choice of a prisoner and then tried to steal prisoners from each other because each was a valuable possession worth con- siderable ransom Comdr. Burguete sald the most heart- breaking experience of his captivity was whep he saw Spanish airplanes flying overhead in search of his party, while the prisoners were unable to signal their ‘whereabouts.
