ESCAPE FROM GREECE
SMALL SCHOONER'S VOYAGE
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 18
A small Greek schooner has arrived at Alexandria after a 17-day voyage from Greece. She brought Lieut-Com-mander Nigel Willmott, who directed the evacuation of over 10,000 New Zealanders and Australians from the Attica area, east of Athens, in two nights, states the Alexandria correspondent of the Associated Press. He had many adventures in making his own escape to Alexandria. The small Diesel engine of the schooner, after frequently breaking down, blew up and set fire to the ship, which later ran aground. The crew landed and extinguished the fire and pushed the ship off. —U.P.A.
