LOST AVIATORS FOUND.
LOCATED BY ESKIMOS. ‘ New York, September 3. News from Mount Evans, Greenland, states that the two pilots, Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer, who were believed to have been lost with the ’plane Greater Rockford en route to Stockholm from Rockford, Illinois, have been discovered alive and well by members of the University of Michigan Greenland Expedition. The fliers, who were driven from their course by a storm, were forced to descend on the Sukkertoppen ice arm on August 19, whereafter they set out afoot for civilisation, rationing each eight ounces of pemmican daily. By the merest coincidence, Eskimos sighted a distress fire signal started by the fliers and reported to the University Expedition. The news was received exclusively by the “New York Times” within two minutes of the rescue. AEROPLANE WHEEL WASHED ASHORE. Rugby, September 2. An aeroplane wheel washed up on the coast of Iceland has been identified as part of the machine in which the Princess Lowenstein Wertheim set out from this country on August 31, 1927, in an attempt to fly the Atlantic.
