wind screeched past my ears. Madden.
ing shreds seemed to whip into my
eyes with knife edges that sometimes
seemed as though they were cutting

breath and shut my eyes. for 1t was
impossible to inhale in the terrific rush
OF the wind past my mouth. and to
have held the eyes open would be to
have courted blindness, temporary at
least.

angle little short of suicidal. Had

evitable and awful destruction.
For about twelve minutes, as shown
by the Paragraph record, continued
this desperate means Of attaining my
goal. Finally looked at my baro-
graph and saw, as thought, that the
needle had reached the 10000 mark. I
+ thought of nothing then but of ending
the strain and getting to earth again
as quickly as possible. So I headed
her downward and dropped at such
terrific speed that the tndelible ink in
the pen point could not flow fast
enough to make mark, and my baro-
graph record shows no trace whatever
OF my descent. 1t is for this reason
that doubt whether any human be-
Ing ever lived through such fall. for

on which the same conditions can be

The first part of this upward climb
was smooth and easy, with one excep-
ton. That exception, which illustrat'
ed another phase Of the rough riding
IN the air-of humping the aerial
bumps-came as burst through the
clouds and into the sunlight above.
Here we always expect to find gusty
winds. The clouds seem to have the
effect of breaking up air currents. just
as hills and valleys will do on the
earth, and the change Of temperature
from the cool moisture Of the mist to

@O the man on the ground flying
in an aeroplane looks like the
smoothest sailing in the world.
Under ordinarily favorable
weather conditions the air craft seems
to skim along on a perfectly even keel
and without the slightest deviation
from straight line, and that is possi-
bly, one reason why the average man
thinks that the life of the aviator
must be one constant succession of
pleasant and exhilarating experiences.
Air conditions 500 feet from the
earth are vastly different from those
5000 feet up. The lower layers Of the
atmosphere are enticingly smooth and
easy to sail upon and offer none of
the unpleasant surprises which we get
as we go higher and higher. There Is
nothing in the first 500 or 1000 feet
to look out for except the vagaries of
the wind, and these can usually be
pretty well forecast from the indica-
tons on the ground before starting
and from the conditions met in the
first few minutes Of fight.
But up above that, in the realm of
the scudding mists and the drifting
fringes of clouds, where one 'dashes
out of a warm air current into the
GOODNESS of suspended moisture, one
meets surprise after surprise and is
forced to be always on the alert, with
brain calm and hands and body ready
for instant action at the first sign Of
an aerial hillocl. or ravine.
