AIR POSTMAN'S MISHAP
A R.N. flying officer named Murphy, while carrying the post
from England to Cologne, fell in the North Sea owing to engine trouble.
He was picked up by a Dutch steamer. and brought to Brunebuttel, near Cuxhaven. Of nine mail bags seven were saved by the steamer. The aeroplane was lost. Reuters

"RN" but why Flying Officer, and agree why long route?
