A Dot in the Ocean.

In the vast expanse of ocean it is hard to find even a big ship. That has often been proved by various searches for disabled steamers, and by British warships' hunts for German raiders. Yet in June the Polish aviator Hausner was rescued by the steamship Circle City after floating for days on a monoplane which broke down while he was trying to fly the Atlantic from New York. It is said an equally extraordinary escape occurred last year, when three aviators who attempted to fly the Atlantic from Portugal to New York were supported at sea by their Junkers all-metal machine for six days before a Norwegian steamer picked them up eighty miles from Cape Race, Newfoundland. Other crashes that occurred in June without loss of life affected Mr. Lang and Mr. Moore in Australia and Sir Richard Squires in Newfoundland—but that is another story, and a political one.
