DRAMATIC STORY
Rescue of S. Hausner ADRIFT IN ATLANTIC London, June 14. If the Circe Shell had not happened to deviate from her usual course she would not have found Stanislaus Hausner, according to a dramatic story of the rescue by wireless. Captain Wilson and the chief officer noticed what appeared to be a buoy four miles off on the starboard bow. The peculiar markings induced the captain to inv£>jgate, and he discovered it was an aeroplane, a third submerged, and heaving in a roughening sea, momentarily threatening to sink it. The Circe blew her siren and a figure waved frantically. ./ The man literally fell into the lifeboat which was sent, exclaiming, “I’m Hausner. Save my ship.” He was helped aboard the Circe in almost complete darkness and lurched across the deck, saying, “Thanks very much, captain. I have been waiting for you for eight days.” He then collapsed. He was incapable of discussing his experiences. He was uninjured, except for superficial cuts and bruises.
