ADVENTURES BY THE WAY WRECKED AND WASHED ASHORE (Times Air Mail Service.) LONDON, Nov. 29. After shipwreck on a South Sea island, a young New Zealander has arrived in England to join the Royal Air Force, reports the Manchester Guardian. He began his journey from a small island with one companion in a sailing boat. On their way to the New Zealand mainland they were wrecked, but they managed to make a raft. For two days they were tossed about, until they wefe washed ashore on another island. The natives housed and fed them for a week. Then the seas became calm enough for them to risk a voyage ;n a native boat. For several days they tried to reach the mainland, and were finally picked up by a cargo boat and transferred to a liner bound for England. Now the New Zealander is training to become an R.A.F pilot.
