CAPSIZED IN BLACK SEA.
NOSE DIVE DURING SQUALL. A. and N.Z. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 22. Three British airmen had a remarkable escape in the Black Sea. Their seaplane, dropping to avoid a squall, encountered a worse, and was forced to nose-dive. The machine capsized, and the airmen were clinging: to the floats for an hour amid huge seas. A rowing bpat containing 10 Turks appeared, and asked repeatedly if the officers were English or French before attempting a rescue. Continuous squalls brought the boat into difficulties, the airmen bailing feverishly. A destroyer, searching for the missing men, picked up all, the Turks cheering the British.
