Accused sinted, that after dropping a torpedo during exercises, he felt himself being moved bodily sideways towards the Normandie. He hoped to clear the deck and land in the se, but he evidently hit some wire which tore a wing of the plane off and pulled the machine in an opposite direction. Accused added that when he landesi safely on the deck of the liner, the sailors shook him by the hand, any- ing he was brave.
The findings of the Court will be prappigated in due course.--Renter's Bulletin Service.
