III FORCED Uruguayan Flier Unhurt But His Companion Was Slightly Injured After Crossing Atlantic BAHIA, BRAZIL, Dec.

17 (U.P.) The flight of Lt. Col. Tadeo Larre Borges and Capt. Leon Challe from Spain to South America end-, ed during the night in a crash in the Brazilian coastal forests where their airplane was demolished. The skill and courage of their flight across the South Atlantic Ocean was little less than the miracle of their escape from death in the wreckage of the big plane when it rushed to a final landing near the little town of Santo Antonio, some 50 miles from the coast.

Captain Challe, French companion of the Uruguayan flier, was slightly injured, but Larre Borges was, not hurt. Aviation officials were amazed that the fliers escaped so easily in the dense forest region of Mara-cilia on the outskirts of Santo Antonio. The airplane had covered a direct line distance of approximately 3.640 miles and the great strain of flight over the ocean was behind when it reached the northeastern tip of the continent last night. The craft was about 3,700 miles out of Sevill w'hen it crashed. The news of the crash came at a moment when the entire South American coast from Natal, some 65 miles from Santo Antonio, to Buenos Aires was anxiously awaiting word after 12 hours in which the plane's 1 radio had been silent.

First advices raised the fear that the fliers had been seriously injured and officials at Natal, Pernambuco, Rio De Janeiro and Bafua made hurried arrangements to dispatch medical aid. Airplanes left Pernambuco and Rio De Janeiro and auto-' mobile ambulances were sent from Natal and other points. In Bahia, Rio De Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Montevideo there were cheering crowds to hail the news of arrival in South America and the greatly desired word that both had escaped lightly in the crash. Larre Borges wife and six children heard news in Montevideo where crowds had waited tirelessly throughout the night for word of the plane. i Larre Borges and Challe went to Santo Antonio early today and sent telegrams to Uruguayan government officials.

The Uruguayan flier returned almost immediately to the scene of the accident while Challe was treated for his Injuries.
