services have been very successful and
well attended, some people coming for
many miles to hear Dr, Hanley and
Professor Fisher,
Dr, Hartley was without doubt the
most eloquent preacher ever heard in
the town as well as being a great
orator. Professor Fisher proved him-
self to be a wonderful singer himself
as well as a very able conductor of
song services.
On Sunday afternoon Dr, Hanley
gave his address on the Temperance
question which was perhaps the great-
est talk on the subject ever heard in
the town. Ontario St, church was
packed and scores were turned away.
Wesley church was packed to over-
flowing both morning and evening and
these services will long be remembered
by all who were present.

London, May 27 (Tuesday)— The
Daily Mail to=day prints a dispatch

simple narrative of Harry G, Hawker,
British aviator, regarding the unsuc-
cessful attempt to fly across the At-
lantic , made by himself and Lieut.
Couinlander .McKenzie Grieve,
"We had very difficult .ground to
rise from on the other side," said Haw-
ker. "To rise at all we had to run
diagonally across the course.
"Once we got away, we climbed well
but about ten minutes ill, We passed

squalls,
"At this time we were flying well
above the clouds at a height of about
15,000 feet.
"We, of course, realized that until
the pipe was cleared we could not rise
much higher without using a lot of
motor power. When the were about
123:c hours on our way the circulation
system was still giving us trouble, and
we realized that we could not go on
using up our motor power,
"Then it was that we reached the
first fateful decision to play for safety,
We changed our course and began fly-
ing diagonally across the stain shipping
route for about two and a half hours,
when, to our great relief we sighted
a Danish steamer, which proved to be
the tramp ,,Mary.
"We sent up very light distress
signals. These were answered pronnpt-
lY, and , then we flew on about two
miles and. landed in the water ahead
of the steamer."

London, May 25.—Missing for six
days and vhtually given up for lost.
Harry G. Hawker and his navigator,
Lieut. -Commander MacKenzie Grieve,
the British airmen who essayed a
flight from St, John's, Newfoundland

their frail airplane afforded, are safe
to -night aboard a B'ritisln, warship, off
the Orkneys. To -morrow they will
reach the mainland and will proceed
to London where they will be aciaimed
as men returned to life.

foundland and S00 from the. Trish coast

from New Orleans and Norfolk for
Aarhuus , Denmark, picked the way-
farers up and continued on iter north-
ward voyage.

tain of the steamer was obliged to
