" Second Section \— TELL OF NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH Aviators Perishing at St Are Abandoned by Native Brig London, Sept. 29.—''Below us were sharks; near the land crocodiles. Would we float near enough to ground our inverted top hamper and signal some one ashore, or risk swim- ming for it? . . . Then our hopes were shattered, for an undercurrent caught our submerged planes and fuselage, and faster than we could near the land ,we were pulled away| trom it. Quickly it faded and our hopes sank . . . We were uterly help- less and at the mercy of the wind and the tide.” The above sentences are taken from the long and thrilling narrative which records the terrible experiences of Captain Norman MacMillan and Cap- tain Malllins while afloat for 60 hours on a wrecked seaplane in the Bay of Bengal. They were engaged in a round-the-world flight organized by the Daily News. “guddenly we noticed an alteration in the trim of our craft,”” continues the narrative. “Round and round we plunged, water pouring over us, hanging on tooth and nall, and soak- ed by the repeated wash that broke completely over us. Evidently we were in a tidal whirl” | Perhaps the most impressive thing in the story is Captain MacMillan's | account of their ahandonment by a native brig which passed near them when they were almost spent. ‘‘Mail- lins could hear beautiful instrumental | musie,” writes MacMillan, “and I the sound of the pipes playing la- ments in the distance. We did not | mention this to each other at thel‘ tHime. We were each afrald of that. . “Suddenly we saw a sall away down gouth. Was it coming up? Yes, slow- ly. y"A windjammer.

The brig was coming straight for us. She must almost run us down. She could not fail to see us. “Was she changing her Surely not, but she was. |, “She turned off not half a mile away, and steadily passed us within half a mile, with two men looking at us from the poop. “God! what inhumanity! could not be. “Maillips frantically waving, sHp- ped and :fell half-overboard, cursing’| at his hurt, cursing the brig and her crew, and writhing. “Standing on our rocking float, T maved and halloed and fired pistol shots. “But steadily she swept past, a na-| tive brig. Two men on the poop ran forward as she was abreast of us. They saw us, undoubtedly, and were possibly terrified of ghosts and \-ls-l fons. | “But in mercy let them never| know what we felt alike.” The two aviators were rescued | gome hours later by a steam launch gent out in search of them. course?
