TERRIBLE STORIES
SUFFFRINGS IN SNOW Naples, April 30. All the survivors are suffering from nervous prostration and related terrible stories of the suffering of the passengers who were injured by being pinned beneath the wreckage in deep snow. When the aeroplane overturned, the mechanic was practically incapacitated by injuries. Etede and Gigaudent strenuously, but unavailingly strove to lift the solid mass of wre'ckage, and lit flares to attract help at night time. As they lay huddled in the cabin, the tortured and hid/ous cries of the sufferers were so heart-rending that the survivors fled from the wreckage at day-break, only to be driven back by cold and hunger on the second day. Gradually the cries of the imprisoned grew fainter as they succumbed to cold and exhaustion. Etede attributes his escape to changing seats with a dead passenger in order to give the latter a view of the scenery.
