The exploit of A us tro-Hungarian aeronau ts who, with two seaplanes, sea-planes, rescued twenty nine men, tho officers and crew of the French sub-ma sub-ma line Fouca ult, is described by the Tagt'blat t. Official announcement was made at Vienna yesterday of the sinking sink-ing of the Fouca ult by an Austrian seaplane in the southern Adriatic. The sea was rough at the time, and there was also danger that the Austrian Aus-trian aeronauts would be captured by hostile warships, as well as that the aeroplanes, overloaded by taking on hoard so many .men, might coll a pse. Nevertheless, the Austrian aviators told the men from the French submarine to swim to the seaplanes and take hold of them. The comma nder and second officer of the submarine were allowed to climb into the pilot's seats. The aviators signalled for help and half an hour later a torpedo boat arrived ar-rived and took on board the men from the submarine. - |
