LONDON, Wednesday, If the steamer Circe Shell (also telegraphed as Circle City) had not happened to depprt from her usual course she would not have found Stanislaus Hausner (the young Polish airman who crashed at sea whilst attempting a hon-stop flight from New York to Warsaw) acc'ording to the d^-amatic story of the rescue received by wireless from Captain Wilson, who says the chief officer not ticed what appeared to be a buoy four miles off the starboard bow. The peculiar markings induced the captain to investigate and he discovered an aeroplane a third part submerged, the heaving roughening sea momentarily threatening to sink it. The steamer bleW her siren, and a figure waved frantically and literally fell into the lifeboat exclaiming "I'm Hausner. Save my ship." The aviator was helped aboard the vessel in almost complete darkness. He lurched across the deck saying, "Thanks very much, captain. I have been waiting for you eight days." He then collapsed and was incapable of discussing his experiences. He was uninjurad except for superfieial cuts and bruises.
