Flying Boat Directs Rescue Of Twenty Men In Lifeboat
WHILE FLYING 150 miles from land the Captain of an R.A.F. Sunderland flying boat saw a white speck on the water. He found it was a small lifeboot with a white jib hoisted. Twenty men were in the boat, which the Sunderland circled while a man in the stern stood up and tried to signal a message. The Sunderland sent out wire- less mariages, at first with no result. Finally, the aircraft succeeded in calling up a merchantman and the twenty men were rescued.
