FLYER FOUND.

ADRIFT A WEEK. ATLANTIC CROSSING. SteaAer Reports Taking Young Pole Aboard. REGARDED AS LOST. (United I'.A.-Electric Telegraph-Copyright) (Received 12 noon.) NEW YORK, June 13. A message from the steamer* Circle City states that Stanilaus Hausner, the young Polish airman who left Newark, New Jersey, on June 3, to fly to Warsaw non-stop, was picked up alive. The flyer was still too exhausted on Monday to tell his story and was resting aboard that ship, where lie was under treatment. Hausner is likely to be completely restored before the vessel arrives at New Orleans in about two weeks time. It was decided on Sunday night, June 12, to abandon the 'plane on which Hausner had drifted for a week after falling into the sea a few hundred miles short of the European coast. Holding the lowest flying grade possible, Stanislaus Hausner set out to fly nonstop from Newark, New Jersey, to Warsaw, on Juno 3. A monoplane believed to have been his was seen over Sydney, Nova Scotia, later in the day, and no further news was heard of him until a report was received a few days ago stating that what was thought to be his body was rescued from a derelict monoplane oft Ireland by the steamer Circlcshell.
