| Hemingways Tell
! Of Surviving Two
i Plane Crashes
ENTEBBE, Uganda, UP)—Ernest
Hemingway nursed assorted cuts,
bruises and burns Tuesday —
marks of his latest brush with
death in the wild East African
bush.
Of his luck, he said: “I think
she is running very good.”
Hemingway and his fourth wife
the former Mary Welsh, arrived
here by car Monday after sur
viving two plane crashes in the
big game country near the head
waters of the Nile river. Mrs.
Hemingway had two cracked ribs.
After a 125-mile trip over jun
gle and mountain roads the novel
ist climbed out of a motor car
clutching a bottle of gin and a
bunch of bananas.
“I feel wonderful,” he declared
but his shirt was tom, one arm
swollen and there was a big patch
of adhesive tape on his head.
The first crackup occurred Sat
urday when the Hemingways—on
a five-month safari through East
Africa — were flying in a char
tered plane near the Murchison
Falls. Hemingway said it was
caused when their plane dived to
avoid a flock of ibises—colorful
African birds.
It landed on an elephant track
through the jungle scrub.
Hemingway joshingly accused
his wife of being responsible for
a herd of elephants that crashed
around the bush near their camp
throughout the night. They were
“attracted by my wife’s snoring,”
he said.
The marooned party was picked
up the next day by a tourist
launch and taken to Butiaba, 60
miles away. There a second plane,
which they hired to take them
to Nairobi, Kenya, crashed on the
takeoff. The Hemingway’s lost all
their equipment in the second
mishap.
