Cairo, Friday.
A story that fiction could barely out-rival is revealed by the dramatic discovery of the missing sportsmen in the desert by an R.A.F. 'plane to-day. The machine was searching about fifteen miles south-west of Fayoum, and was flying very low, when a man was observed clad in a shirt, and signalled with a handkerchief tied to a rifle.
The aeroplane landed and found the three missing sportsmen demented.

All of the men were in a pitiable condition.
