She maneuvered for posi tion and landed safely a quarter of an hour later. A favorable wind allowed the sorely distressed crew of the it-33 to start th'lr ship homeward from a point near the Dutch coast after dnylight and she made a slow stead v fliirht I aei oss the North sea which yesterday she had passed over In the opposite direction, driven onward by the wind.
