OUT OF HIS DEPTH!
PILOT WHO LOST HIS BEARINGS LONDON, April 1. After a blameless life, Edgar Savell, a North Sea pilot, allegedly got drunk and was found aground in the roadway almost under a motor bus. A policeman gave evidence that Savell then said his age was 65. He gave his age as 97. The magistrate expressed the opinion that it must be a record to make a first appearance in a Police Court when 97. He dismissed the charge under the Probation Act, and warned Savell to be more careful.
