PERILS OF THE AIR.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DISASTER. By Teleernph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received April 10, 8.25 p.m. London, April 15. Lieut. Parer and Lieut. Mcintosh (who are flying from London to Australia), cabling from Moulmcin, state that they are now out of hospital, and repairs to their machine are nearing completion, but they must await a new propellor. Complete new under-carriage fuselage is being built at the site of the crash. Their message states: "We had decided to land in the sea when a rift in the clouds showed Moulmein close at hand. The exhaust had burst in our faees, und our clothes were burned. The impact of a forced landing at a, speed of eighty miles an hour knocked us unconscious, and had we not crashed we would have killed many of the crowd."—United Service.
