Miss Emmie Hiuns of Vancouver, who was one of the party, distinguished herself hy her daring rescue of Pilot Williams, who, it is alleged, would have lost his life had it not been for the work of the girl who was a good swimmer. The plane, which was an Alaska-Washington hydroplane, piloted by W. A. Williams, left Victoria yesterday on an excursion flight to Vancouver via Seattle. When off Point No Point near Port Townsend the engine began to miss and the plane landed on the waters of Pugct Sound. Williams then lifted the floor board and smoke and flame burst forth and almost choked him. Miss Binns at oncctoorcto the watcrto swim to a fishing boat for help 'and Mtcnsherprovcd herself a real heroine when she personally resctied Williams from the burning plane just before it exploded. Aboard the plane were in addition to Mr. Johnston and the pilot and Miss Binns, E. II. Whittingham of the department of education at Victoria and Mr. and 3IrsV Gauley, who had been honeymooning in Victoria. Mr. Johnston had just returned from a Rotary gathering at Aberdeen, Washington. V ANCOUVER, Aug. 5:-Stressing the point that never at any time werti his passengers in danger, W. A. Williams, pilot of the Alaska Washington Airways Company's hydroplane that burned yesterday in Puget Sound, recounted his experience, here. He was flying at an altitude of 500 feet owing to a pall of smoke. "I saw the Fahrenheit gauge showing a higher temperature than was normal so I put down at Kingston, about 20 miles north of Seattle. I landed on the water about a quarter of a mile from the shore to be at a safe distance from the bathers at the girls' camp. If there had lieen any fire should have landed at the shore. I stepped out op the pontoon to locate the trouble. As I worked a flame developed. This was probably due to some part of the motor being hot and some gas may have spilled as I landed. I immediately opened the door and told the passengers to step out. Two small gasboats were nearby and I signalled them. They took us off. When one of the boats was. within a hundred feet Miss Emmie Binns, Vancouver, jumped into the water and told S. I). Johnston, Prince Rupert, to jump after her. He could not swim and she took him to the boat. There was never any danger but she apparently thought she could lighten the plane and make things easier. She is a wonderful swimmer. We had life preservers and rubber boats big enough to hold cvcrylMxly but none of them were needed. Had I been alone I could probably have saved the machine by beating out the flames. There was no crack-up. I never had a better landing in my life." SEATTLE, Aug. 5: When the airplane burned off Point No Point yesterday the passengers lost all their baggage. The gasoline tanks exploded shortly after the rescue.

More than (wo hundred thousand people were at Croydon Landng Field last night to witness her delayed afrjival from Vienna, aboard the-passenger plane "City of Glasgow." More than a million, it was calculated, cheered her as she was driven through London to her hotel sitting atop the rear scat. Half a gale between London and Cologne made her plane three hours late in arriving and she did not arrive until 9 o'clock. In an interview with reporters; Miss Johnson said she had received many proposals of- marriage from various parts of the world. "I am not likely to accept any.. They don't interest me."

Fishermen's Nets Off Naas River Silt Up and Sink to Bottom and Phenomena Is Being Investigated Weird stories are coming through from the Naas llivcr about the curious hardships the fishermen are undergoing bemuse of the sinking of their nets when fishing'. It seems that just after high tide boats' fishing off the mouth of the river find their nets silt up with fine mud until they sink to the bottom and at least one story says that so firmly wagJLljc net embedded at the bottom that it could not be hauled out with n tnir lull hrnkn in nioro. i .m ..nt! n 1 .... . . t The fisheries experimental station has two men on the river investigating. Many of the fishermen think it is fine silt that comes from the slag at Granby Smelter but the experimental station is not sure of that. Anyox is a long dfstancc from the Naas Kivcr and it may be some other cause. In the meantime the fishermen are much worked up over the situation as it means much to lose a net 600 feet long.
