THRILLING STORY OF LOST FLIERS 1S TERSELY TOLD Major Franco Describes Heroic Struggle for Life PASS THE AZORES Ran Out of Gasoline and " Drifted Helpless for a Week London, July 2.--The dramatic story of the harrowing adventures of the missing Spanish airmen ana their rescue at dawn Saturday morning by the British aircraft car- rier Eagle, told in simple and terse language by Major Ramon Franco aboard the rescue ship, revealed that the fliers had flown beyona the Azores and were attempting to beat their way back when they ran out of gasoline. The British admiralty received the following statement of what happened in Major Franco's own words from the Eagle, now speed- ing to Gibraltar with the four res- cued airmen. The message read: "Follcwing is'a statement by Ma- jor Franco: 4 "We left Los Alcazares at 5 p. m. on June 21, passing Cape St. Vincent at 9 p.m. "From Gibraltar we were forced to gain height owing to the excess- ive air disturbances. "From Cape St. Vincent to the Azores was an uninterrupted layer of clouds above which we haa ww fly and later another cloud layer formed above us. The intended time of arrival at the Azores was 9 a.m., Greenwich Meridian time (4 a.m. Eastern Standard time) on the 22nd, but a strong wind which we were unable to foresee or check fn flight, caused us to pass over the Azores during the dark. "At dawn we took the longitude by the sun which showed that we were to the southwestward of the Azores. We therefore flew through the clouds and landed to economize fuel and examine the situation. "We checked our position and took off, shaping a course for Fa- yal, but owing to a strong head- wind we ran out of gasoline about 40 miles from that point. A strong northeasterly wind drifted us to the south and on the following day, the 23rd, we were ahout 10 miles from Fayal. "Phe wind shifted to the south- west, reaching gale force and drift- ed 'us towards, the island of Santa Maria. Fre: /the 24th to the 27th winds of / drying force and direc- tion wif us about. On the morn- ing o' Me 27th, the situation was ext's «ely dangerous on account of wid" and sea conditions. At dawn on the 29th the air- craft-carrier Eagle found us in the vicinity of Santa Maria and took us on board. The behavior of the ] aircraft and engines was magnifi- cent." Seis ; Behind this simple statement, told in such unvarnished language, was the dramatic story of a strug- gle agalfist overwhelming odds-- the first details of what lay behind the veil that for one week had ob- scured the fate of the four adven- turous men who started from Spain determined to fly the Atlantic by way of the Azores. With Major Franco were Major Eduardo Gonzalez Gallarza, pilot; Captain Julio Ruiz de Alda, navi- gator, and Sergeant Pedro Mada- riaga, mechanic. For the first time it was learn- ed that the 'fliers had "landed" to economize their fuel after discov- ering they had missed the compar- atively tiny Azores in the vast Ac- lantic and had passed beyona them. They resumed their flight, but: exhausted fuel brought them down only 40 miles from the island of Fayal where the eyes of the world had restlessly centred a- waiting their arrival. Down in the sea and floating helplessly, the Dornier Wal 16 drifted to the south. The next day of their strange aimless voyage at the merey of the sea and d; they | were pushed toward the 'islan of Santa Maria which lie to the far southeast of the Azores Archipel- ago. For three more days-- ntil Thursday, the four comrades were buffeted here and there and on Thursday, their situation became extremely perilous because of the violence of the sea and wind. It was this storm which hindered res- cue operations and probably delay- ed their being picked up for sev- eral days. The long week of anguish of spirit, physical discomfort and dreadful loneliness ended joyfully Saturday morning when the huge British ship which had been searcn- ing tirelessly for several days hove into sight and found the drifting expedition. Wearily but still resolute, wea- ther blackened but still sound, the four fliers and their seaworthy plane were taken aboard the Eagle and given necessaries and comfort that their long exposure requirea. Madrid Cheers British Navy Madrid, July 2.--Thousands of Spaniards from every walk of life participated< in a monster demon- stration organized by the Spanish Aero club as a public expression of Spain's gratitude to the British, French, Portuguese and Italian governments for that spontaneous and invaluabe aid in the hunt for Major Ramon Franco and his three companions. A procession, whose marchers carried the flags of five nations, as- sembled in the centre of Madrid at noon and paraded to the British embassy. Excitement was at white heat here in recognition of the achievement of the British aircraft carrier Eagle in finding the four Spanish aviators after they had been drifting aboard their plane in the open sea since the Saturday previous. Cheer after cheer was given for the British navy and for the Brit- ish air force, and it was a long time before the marchers had sufficient- ly vented their enthusiasm to pass on to their next objectives, the French, Portuguese and Italian embassies. 3 at Lakeview Park NOW FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY Beauty for much more, them all, Opposite Post Office The Melba Home ment $1 You'll want to take advantage of this of- fer for the Home Treatment usually sells It includes Melba Skin Cleanser, Melba Tissue Cream, Vanishing Cream --- now 'you can buy the complete Melba Home Beauty Treatment for only $1.00.

But it was in the af- ternoon when things were at their busiest, Some said they had never seen such crowds as thronged the shaded green lapped by thé waters of the lake. Picnic tables were in de- mand. Partics from all over Eastern Ontario ate their sandwiches and their pop, while children romped and played in happy abandon, Proud fathers held the youngsters on the round-abouts; laughing couples, out for a thrill, whirled in the Ferris wheel. The sailor strain in some be- ckoned irresistibly. Canoes and skiffs glided rippling through the water; out board motorboats spluttered and coughed as they dashed about the bay; large motor cruisers plied back and forth with the cargoes of human freight and swimmers revelled in the coolness of the lake as they splashed and swan to their hearts content, i ere Sweet ever, one distinct- y feature. During for honor of the day, patriotic' airs came pealing forth from the chimes of St. George's church, The chimes were very sweet, and have seldombeen heard to better ad- vantage than they were yesterday, many citizens making very favorable Comments on this feature of the holi- ay. Tremendous Traffic The traffic through the city began to pour in long before noon and a constant stream of cars bore their loads throughout the day. Where they were going was nobodies busi- ness, but all and sundry were out to enjoy themselves, each to find the spot of his or her choice; each con- den} they had found the best place [¢} 5 Yesterday was a holiday for most but not for the traffic cops, the rail- waymen and lifesavers. The men on the motorcycles were busy from dawn to dusk keeping the long lines of traf- fic moving, Extra busses had been chartered and trundled along among the smaller fry, But the holiday spir- it was abroad and hard bitten police- men smiled indulgently at those who sometimes forgot themselves in the, joy of the moment. The weather man had evidently thought better of his promises or his threats for the day ended as bright and clear as it had begun. When the shades of night were falling the home ward trek began. The weary but happy holiday-makers wended "slow- ly homeward 'and. to bed, to sleep the sleep of the thoroughly tired, health- ily fatigued, happy and content. It had been a great day, a wonderful day; it was Dominion Day, The really splendid weucner with which Oshawa was favored on Dominion Day induced throngs of people to repair to Lakeview Park, there to spend a pleasant day. Cosgrave Export Brewery Picnic The employes of' the Cosgrave Export Brewery arrived at the lake about 11.30 a.m.,, being trans- ported thither by the brewery trucks. Before lunch most of the pie- nickers strolled around the park enjoying its charm. After] unch softball games were played until the great event of the afternoon's program came on, namely, the sports, Ther were a great many races, many of them being uncommon and highly amusing. The: prizes were very valuable, indeed during the afternoon over two hundred dollars' worth of ar- ticles were presented to successful contestants Dolls were given to all girls under ten years of age, and different prizes awarded to the boys of ten years and under. In the evening the picnickers were transported home by the trucks in which they came, after a very enjoyable day. Danforth I.0.L.

Uncounted thousands cheered the King wildly as he, the Queen by his side, rode in an open state carriage from Kensington through festively-decked historic thorough- fares to the palace. He had been driven by motor car from Windsor castle to Kensington, where tne change to the state carriage was made. Moving slowly through two miles of packed humanity, His Majesty received with a quiet smile the cheers and fragrant flowers offered by his people. Oc- casionally he waved his hand or swept his hat around in acknow- ledgement of the fervid shouts and waving flags. An oviation almost overpowering in its testimony of profound affec- tion was tendered His Majesty as he reached the palace at last. Here he returned a few solemn words of thankfulness.

Then the King held up the baby Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, to share the deafening plaudits of the multitude which pressed against the palace railings. The band and the tens of thousands joined in the National Anthem, and other mem- bers of the royal family appeared with His Majesty on the balcony. Then the King turned back to greet the members of the royal house: hold. On Sunday His Majesty will pe present in Westminster Abbey for the official service of thanks- giving for his recovery.
