could rise from the water.
When they did rise, TO wheel
into panic-stricken fight, he
turned his machine in their
wake, kept within easy range
and picked them of at his
pleasure. The ducks fell into the
bay beneath. Quite naturally.
only a few of them were picked

der the coming conditions an
aeroplane will be as much more
dangerous to game than a pow
