ATLANTIC CROSSED AGAIN
Airmen Battle Against Storms LANDING IN DESOLATE MARSH By Telegraph—Press Assn.- Copyright. Montreal, September 14. The United Press agency correspondent at St. John’s, Newfoundland, states that the Atlantic flyers, Richman and Merrill, were forced to bring their aeroplane down In a marsh nearby at 2.20 p.m. (New York time) to-day. The flyers battled with hailstorms, sleet and high winds for the entire distance. Shortage of fuel and poor visibility made a landing imperative. The aeroplane’s landing gear was buried In the soft mud of a desolate bog. Tbe craft apparently was not damaged, but it is not possible to extricate it and probably it will be necessary to dismantle it and carry it out piece by piece.
