Not content, however. with merely
disabling the enemy, the other avia'

task OF complete destruction.
To be sure. all this took place only
in theory. The enemy's ship was out

thrills of an eventless day.

make another spectacular descent.

scarcely expected him TO escape alive,

N"Out with the aeroplane squad he
commanded In stentorian tones, and
few minutes later the reassurtng
sound OF IL aerial motors was heard
across the lake front. One by one
the planes mounted into the air and
started to circle around the enemy's
ship. vainly they tried TO bring down
the flyers with solid and shrapnell.

The fight was on in earnest. Then

Earl Central Aerial squadron. A
mighty cheer encouraged him as he
spiraled high above the ships tallest

withdrew, threw open the throttle OF
