Il HAVE NO WORDS no DESCRIBE THAT DESCENT"

..all in" yet / had still the two hard
est stages of my journey to cover
the bitter fight OF Jumping and falling,
jumping and falling, during the final
500 feet, and last, but most awful of
all, the horrors OF that descent where
the chances were 100 to against me.
Laughing at 10000 Feet.
There was nothing for IT. however,
but to continue the light upward.
So I dogEedly fixed my mind upon
the magic figures 10000 and mounted
again Below me there was nothing
but space. The hlmy clouds formed
haze which completely shut the earth
from my view, and seemed like an
impudent little fly buzZing around i'm
portantly in the vastness of infinitude.
The thought struck me as being rather
droll, and laughed aloud.
Then remembered how a friend Of
mine had come to me at the hangar
before started and. with quizzical
expression on his face, as though he
knew / was not serious, asked:
-'Ate you really going for altitude to-
dny?"
"Yes," answered.
'Do you think you have any chance
of making it:'' he asked.
''There's always chance" replied
and jumped into the machine.
Since then have thought over that
short conversation a score of times and
1 have failed to find in 1t anything
amusing. Yet away up there in n lone

and splitting, seemingly to accentuate
the very yastness OF the solitude and
make it even more awe inspiring than
1t is to the floating ballOontst-away
up there. passing close to the 5000 foot
mark-the two questions and their an
swers struck me as being the most
droll things 1 had ever heard, and 1
started to laugh boisterously like a
drunken sailor In low taproom.
"Crazy," 1 thought, and ms the
thought flashed across my mind with
