Vessel Dakar, Senegal, July 9 (#) —Jean Mermoz, noted French airman, on the first west to east transatlantic ! air mail flight between South Amer-| ica and Africa, was forced down on the sea when well over half way across today. He and has two companions, Leo- pold Gimme, radio operator, and Jean D'Abry, navigator, were res- cued and the 600 pounds of air mail | which they took aboard on leaving Natal, Brazil, yesterday were saved. Discovered Oil Leak Mermoz, three hours earlier had discovered an oil leak which appar- ently was not serious. However, two| hours before he came down the oil | pressure dropped alarmingly and he sent a wireless message that he was heading toward the dispatch boat Phocee, one of several boats patrol- ling the route in case of emergen- cy. The Phocee, being informed of ‘Mermoz's trouble, started to the res- cue and met the plane. She stood b and took aboard the three men and the mail. The mail was to be trans- ferred to another dispatch boat and carried at full speed to Africa for relay by plane to Paris Merhoz came down in 7 degrees north latitude and 24 degrees west longitude, about €50 miles south- west of Dakar. It was at 7:45 a. m., French mer- dian time (2:45 a. m,, E. S. T.) that Mermoz first reported the loss of oil. He did not explain the nature of the leak and apparently was con- fident it would not interfere serious: ly with his journey. He had enough gas to fly 12 hours more and hoped 1o reach Dakar by 5 p. m Lands At 10:20 A. M. His landing was made at 10:20 a. m. after he had been in the air 14 hours and was well advanced on the | ast half of his transatlantic jour- | | ney. The weather was good and there was little wind. Between Lake Bomfim, 20 miles from Natal, Brazil, and his goal,| there lay a course of about 1,850 miles which, at an average speed of 80 miles an hour hP expected to ne- gotiate in about 22 hours and fifteen minutes. | Departure here was at 4:32 p. m. | (2:32 p. m. .
