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. The other two survivors were discovered in an adjacent cave, both naked, and when the airmen entered the cave the men, in a demented condition, were actually stalking one another with rifles. All of the men were in a pitiable condition.
