Fliers, Held I p * by Fojr. Inspect Scuttled Fleet Airmen Play Pirate While Clambering Over Rotting Hull of Battleship Hindenburg. B.v I.OWKM, THOMAS. (Copyright, 1 n2s. > "There was so much tog hang ing over the Ork neys and Faroes *" ihe day after our arrival at Sea pa Flow, and the ships stationed between us and f, Iceland reported such bad weather W&teut Court!y\ ^ we „had t0. flying that day." said Jack Hard ing. ."There , wasn’t anything we could do about it, so rather than spend our time mooning over the rotten weather we decided to take a launch and cruise about among the halt-submerged hulks of the scuppered German fleet "Accompanied by a crowd of nava>, officers, newspaper correspondents and camera men, we landed on the derelict Hindenburg. Climbing around • over this sunken battleship which was once the pride of the kaisers navy, was just as much fun for us as it used to he to play pirate when we were kids. Next to wandering through a lost city in Yucatan or Arabia, 1 ran think of nothing more interesting and mysterious than prowling about a huge abandoned battleship. "We had shinned up the masts and from the tops of them we could look down through the clear water ami see every outline of the part of the derelict that still was submerged. There were two great guns on the stern. Ixtigh walked out on one while 'Fes’ and I balanced ouselves on the other. Then we made a bet with J.eigh that he couldn't jump across to where we were. Heigh is the sort of chap who never takes a dare. He almost made it. But In addition to losing the bet he fell into tlie sea, clothes and all, and we hail to haul him out. In Ifeiimte Territory. "The Orkney islands and the Shet lands are nearly as far off the beaten path and almost as rarely visited by tourists as the Kuriles and the Aelu tians, where we had stopped when away around on the other side of the world. They are In about the same latitude. They are north of the 60th parallel and on a line with Labrador and southern Greenland. "Right Where our plane* - were moored the British grand fleet, under Jelliooe, rode at anchor the day news came that Admiral Beatty had en countered the German fleet. Jelllcoe at once steamed south to take part in the greatest naval battle of all his turv, the battle of Jutland. "It was near here that Ford Kitch ener mysteriously met his death when he was Journeying on board a war ship to northern Russia. Here also the famous American squadron of mine sweepers under Rear Admiral Strauss made its headquarters while attempting to clear the North sea. "We spent several hours roaming shout the narrow, winding streets of the quaint city of Kirkwall. The houses are all built of stone, and the weather-beaten folk who live In them are very little more civilized than they were 800 years ago, when one of their most celebrated rulers, known ae St. Magnus, built the fine old Kirkwall cathedral.” Off In Thlrk Fog. "It was not until Saturday, August t, that the weather cleared enough to warrant out attempting the hop (• Iceland, said Les Arnold. "But •t 9:30 we set forth by way of the ^aro* Islands.

Climb ing to about 2,500 feet we got above it, and looking around we saw the Boston, but not a sign «nf the New Orleans. "For 20 minute* we circled round and round, wondering what had hap pened to Erik and Jack. We couldn't tell whether they had flown right on through the fog or whether they had met with an accident and flllen Into the water. Lowell finally decided that the safest thing to do would be to turn hack and at once report that the New Orleans was lost so that the de stroyers could start a search. If Erik and Jack were actually lost and If we (lew on to Iceland, It would mean that the hoats mlgljt hear nothing of It for another six or eight hours until we reached our destination. In that length of time the New Orleans might sink and both the boys be drowned. If they actually got through the fog, then the report would he sent back to us as they passed over the Faroe islands and everything would be fine and we could follow next day. Back to Starting Base. "So we turned back and hunted for the cruiser Richmond, which we knew to be following along our course. But In the fog we missed her. As we flew over the city of Kirkwall, where Major Davison, from the embassy in I.ondon was stopping, we dropped a message bag in one of the streets so that he could tele phone to the wireless station and have word sent to the Richmond and other boats, advising them of what had happened. Then we returned to our old moorings at Houten bay and landed. "A few hours later we learned that the New Orleans had been sighted passing over the Faroes, and at 6 that night the Richmond return i to the Orkneys. A little later the fol lowing wireless message came through from Iceland: " 'Got into propeller wash in the fog, went into a spin, partially out lit control, came out of it just above water. Continued on landing at Hnrnfiord. All O. K. NELSON.’ "We were overjoyed at hearing they had gotten through to Iceland. But they had had a narrow escape. When their plane went into a .spin in the fog if they had not come out into a clear spot and if the fog had reached right down to the water's edge, as it did where we had all flown a few minutes before, they would have plunged , right into the sea, and the New Orleans and Erik and Jack would have vanished. No one ever would have known what had happened to them." Narrow Escape Efom Death. Both Nelson and Harding give a graphic description of this thrilling adventure through which they had passed. “After loelng sight of the Chicago and Boston in the fog," said Erik, "it was so thick that we could see noth ing above or below. In front or be hind, or on either side of the cockpit. But we iudder.ly felt ourselves being jerked and thrown sbotit and knew that we had gotten Into the propeller wash of one of the other ships. This threw the plane out of control. Then, after being buffeted about in the pro peller wash, it became difficult for ue to ascertain our equilibrium and pull out of our predicament, With fog, fog everywhere there was no basis of comparison, and It was difficult to tell whether we were flying north, south, east, west, straight up or straight down. But a second later the instru ment* indicated that it was the lat ter. We were descending in a spin at great speed. “Finally I managed to aft-alghten it out. But not a minute too soon. As we pulled up level again we shot into clear spot and then were lucky enough to he able to fly under the fog until we had gotten entirely through this belt. Once clear of It we flew back and forth for a bit, hop ing the other planes would show up. Wheji they failed to appear we climbed higher, and after flying for three hours over another fog bank we saw something black jutting up through the clouds. It turned out to be Sydero Island. Iceland In Safety. “Twenty-five miles farther on the fog ended abruptly, the sky became perfectly clear, and straight ahead we sighted the smoke of the first de stroyer we had encountered. Gliding down Jack wrote a note asking them If they could give us any news re garding the other planes and request ing them to' verify the direction of the course ahead of us. We flew right across the bow of the destroyer, but the first message bag fell into the sea. The second time we had better luck, and a moment later had our signals as well as the news that no other planes had passed them. “Proceeding on our way, was passed Ihe cruiser Raleigh and then encoun tered another fog belt that hid the sea all the rest of the flight to Ice land. This prevented us from even seeing whether there were any more boats patrolling for us or not. As we neared the coast the weather cleared again and right ahead we saw the tiny village of Horaafiord, sur rounded by gigantic mountains and great glaciers. As soon as we had moored ihe plane we hurried ashore, where we found some of the naval men from the Raleigh who had been put ashore to rig up a temporary radio station. Here we waited for the Chicago and Boston to join us. But the Ill-fated Boston never got ihrough to Iceland, for it, was on the next day’s flight that Heigh and Hank were forced down In midocean.’’ __\ Beatrice Mayor Recovering After l nriergoing Opeation Beatrice, Jan. 21.—Mayor C\ C.

Shiverly Retains Office After Defeat at Election Harlington, Jan. 21.—With the re organization of th* board of county commissioner* of CVdar county and the election of A. B. Shiverly of Laurel as chairman, the question of who should fill the Second district office, arising on account of the death of W. E. Reese of Randolph, who was elected and would have occupied the office had he lived two days longer, seems to be settled. Boyd Carroll was appointed to the office by County Attorney Millard, but Judge Wilbur F. Bryant refused to approve his bond on the ground that A. B.
