St. Catherines, ON - July 29, 1914 — The mystery of a deserted hydro-aeroplane found floating in Lake Ontario yesterday was solved with the arrival of R. B. Russell, a Toronto aviator. Russell discovered his gasoline was exhausted six miles from the south shore of Lake Ontario. He made a quick landing in the water and was picked up by a passing steamer. Russell flew back to Toronto today.
