In order TO make clear the situation
as it had now developed I must asl:
the readers attention to the dlngran'
above.
BY the time that we had got out into

Payton had completed his turn uuc

to he left rs Soon Ms he was within

we might have been just In time to
catch sight of him as he passed the
opening between the clouds.
But we were too late. and while the
Osprey was dashing headlOng on her
return through the large cloud the
Chameleon rounded the small ono and
was or ut full speed In exactly the
opposite direction. No sooner was the
air clear OF vnpor than we looked
about with all eyes and were met by
the same disappointment The Cha
meIeon was not there!
,"Perhaps one OF your shells found
him." suggested Mr. Grantham, ''and
broke him up so that he has dropped
to the ground unperceived."
It was startling possibility. aud
gave orders to drop down within 100
feet of the ground. Running back. we
begun to use the utmost cIrcumspec
