For the first time It was learned that the fliers had "landed" to economise their fuel after discovering that they had missed the com paratively tiny Asores in the vast Atlantic and had passed beyond them. They resumed their flight, but exhausted fuel brought them down only 40 miles from the island of Fayal. where the eyes of the world had restlessly centered awaiting their arrival. Violence of Sea and Wind Imperils Plane. Down In the sea and floating helplessly, the Dornter Wal 16 drifted to the south. The next day of their strange, aimless voyage, at the mercy of the sea and wind, they were pushed toward the islands of Santa Maria, which lie to the far southeast of the Azores archipelago, for three more days until Thursday the four comrades were buffeted here and there, and on Thursday their situation became extremely perilous because of the violence of the sea and wind. It was this storm which hindered rescue operation and probably delayed their being picked up for several days. The long week of spiritual and physical discomfort and dreadful lonr lines ended Joyfully this morning, when the huge British ship, which had been searching tirelessly for several days, hove Into sight and found the drifting expedition. Weary, but still resolute, but still sound, the four fliers and their seaworthy airplane were taken aboard the Eagle and given necessaries and comfort that their long exposure required. The British embassy was surrounded by cheering and grateful crowds of Spaniards. Franco Tells Dramatic Story in Few Words LONDON. June 39 MP).
