Hawker Reported Picked Up Safe

According to an unofficial Central News dispatch received late last night Aviator Harry Hawker and his pilot, Commander Grieve, had been picked up in safety off the Irish coast late in the afternoon. This report had not been confirmed, but was the latest that had been received at the hour of going to press.

Another cable to the effect that Hawker's Sopwith aeroplane had been wrecked about 40 miles west of the River Shannon was received earlier, but has not been verified.
