New York, To-day.

The graphic story of how Stanley Hausner was tossed on the Atlantic in a derelict aeroplane for eight days and nights and how he lived on sandwiches and radiator water was told by wireless to Hausner's wife by Captain Wilson, skipper of the British tanker, Circle Shell, which picked up Hausner, exhausted but unhurt last night,

Mrs. Hausner was overjoyed. She declared that her prayers had not been in vain, although she had never lost faith in Stanley's safety.
