PICKED UP AT SEA
HAUSNER'S EXPERIENCES DRAMATIC STORY OF RESCUE Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, Juno 14. (Received June 15, at 11.50 a.m.) If the Circe Shell had not happened to deviate from her usual course ITausner would not have been found, according to a dramatic story of the rescue by wireless from Captain Wilson. The chief officer noticed what appeared to be a buoy four miles on ihe starboard bow. The peculiar markings induced the captain to investigate, and be discovered an aeroplane, a third of it being submerged, heaving in the roughening sea and, momentarily threatening to sink. The Circe blew her siren and a figure waved frantically, and literally fell into the lifeboat, exclaiming; “I’m Hausnor. 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, and was incapable of discussing his experiences. He is uninjured except for superficial cuts and bruises.
