' Lost in the Sahara '
A. E. Filby
Among the adventures so far described in this exciting series have been Captain Dingle's story of being cast away on a desert island, J. L. Longland 's experiences in a Mount Everest blizzard, Edwin Heath 's account of his capture by South Sea island cannibals, Captain Norman Macmillan 's experiences when he was adrift on a sea plane- float in the Bay of Bengal for two days and nights without food and water, and Sir Alan Cobham 's adventures in fog over the Adriatic.
Tonight's story has an African setting. A. E. Filby , who has travelled extensively in the lesser-known parts of Africa, was involved two years ago in a highly disagreeable adventure in the Sahara. While making the journey between two forts of the Foreign Legion, he and a companion were overtaken by a desert sandstorm which completely obliterated all landmarks. They were held up for a considerable time and, but for several pieces of good fortune, might not have won through.
