AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CAULK ASSOCIATION. AIRMEN’S ESCAPE. (Received this day at 12.2 d p.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Eel,. 22 Three British airmen had a remarkable escape in the Black Sea. Dropping in a seaplane to avoid a. squall they encountered worse, which forced them further down and the machine nose dived and capsized. The airmen were clinging to floats lor an hour when a boat containing ten Turks appeared. They asked repeatedly it the officers were English or French, before rescuing them. Continuous squalls brought the boat into difficulties, the airmen bailing feverishly until a destroyer which had been searching, found and picked all up the Turks cheering the British.
