Both men are in perfect health. It is officially announced by the admiralty that the aviators were picked up in latitude 50 :20, longitude 29 :30, having alighted close to the little Danish steamer Mary owing to a stoppage of circulation in the water pipes between the radiator and the water pump. The airplane, a Sop with machine, was not salvaged. The first report of the aviators since their "jump off" last Sunday came when the Mary, which was bound from Norfolk, Virginia,, to Aarhuus, rounded the Butt of Lewis today and wigwagged the fact that she had Hawker and Grieve aboard. "Yes, It's Hawkerf "Saved hands of Sopwith airplane V was the signal. : "Is it Hawker?" was the question sent out by the flags from the butt, which is the most northwesterly point of the Hebrides group off Scotland. . ' , ; "Yes" laconically replied the Mary. . The admiralty immediately sent out a fast torpedo boat destroyer in an endeavor to intercept the Mary and take off the aviators. There was an anxious wait of several hours, when the word was flashed that the destroyer had come across the steamer and transferred Hawker and Grieve and was taking them to Thurso, on the northern coast of Scotland about 100 miles east of the Butt of Lewis. . 1 . On Board Destroyer Revenge. The destroyer, the Revenge, reported to the admiralty this evening that Hawker and Grieve would sleep on board tonight The oviators will reach London at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. The news of the rescue has electrified all Britain. All destroyers, after a thorough search of the Atlantic for 800 miles from the Irish coast had given up the quest and there was practically no hope that the airmen were alive.' " Little Danish Steamer Rescuer. This morning, however, the forlorn hope "that the aviators might be picked up by some craft without wireless was real ized. The Danish steamer' Mary, crawling along at nine knots, was the lucky vessel, and her brief message to the watchers at the Butt of Lewis, as she proceeded on her way to Scotland left, the public to speculate wonderingly over the details of the airmen's adventures. , Destroyers Search For "Mary." . . -The admiralty dispatched destroyers from northern points to intercept the Mary and the Daily Mail instructed all signal stations to try to communicate with the cap1 tain with the urgent request to land the aviators at some Scottish port The ad miralty quest succeeded, and a wireless message nm fmm th destroyer Woolsun late in the evening that she had overtaken the Mary and had transferred the aviators. , . . i Excitement in London' ,vV'' '"'J.
