MOLLISON'S STORY OF BRIDGEPORT CRASH
PERIL FOR LOCAL DOCTORS
DOZENS OF BOGUS CALLS
KIDNAPPERS OR A LUNATIC?
A rather grave situation which cannot but be viewed with alarm by members of the medical pro-" fession is disclosed as the result of investigations by the Telegraph into the case of Dr. Ma Wai-man, who was attacked with an. fron bar in a Wanchai flat to which he was inveigled by a bogus telephone cuil.
The assailant who was rather well-dressed, was forced by shouts for help to escape through a trap door in the roof..

SHORT OF PETROL
New York, July 24..
Mr. J. A. Mollison was sufficiently recovered from his exhausting flight and the shock of his crash at Bridgeport, Connecticut, to be able to give an interview to a Reuter's representative at the local hospital. :
The famous airman said that he decided to land at Bridgeport when he saw the lights of the airport and there was just a possibility that the amount of fuel in reserve would not be sufficient to carry the Seafarer ön to New York..
..
"I was so tired," declared Mollison, "that I could not see properly where I was landing. I thought I had made it all right."
