| Tho Princess leaped upward, gain
ing rapidly on the Eagle. ROSETTA
urged Santos and watched Napoleon,
WHO was following every move Of the
attacking Princess closely.
He could have dipped again and run
away, but that was not his game
They almost touched, and the PYin-
cess Rositta shouted through the
speaking tube: "Givs up. Mr.. Peace
President; you have no chancei"
Indeed. It seemed 30; the larger bird
made a leap toward the Eagle that
was below her, but twist Of the
steering wheel saved him. Napoleon
was Watching the east anxiously, and
Rositta's eyes were focused on Napo-
leon. She felt sure that he was help
lessly prolonging the surrender.
This dangerous play went on until
Napoleon could see tho widely extend
ed fleet Of aerodromones with his
naked eye. He dipped downward. and
stopped in the air, about two hundred
feet above the surface Of Pamlico
Sound. There the Eagle awaited the
Princess. Az she made q desperate
rush for him. he escaped again. almost
BY . miracle, then turned and darted
after the Princess madly, changing
from tho pursued into tho pursuer
They rose upward together and Napo-
leon waved a smiling salute to the
pgincess.
The aerodromones Of tho latter were
approaching steadily. She seemed to
have forgotten them entirely in the
heat Of the pursuit, while she was the
asgressor. but now. when Napoleon
turned against her. she quickly turned
to the stylograph and gave orders to
her fleet to close in upon them. but
not to interfere until It was necessary
for her safety.
Napoleon plainly heard the message
and waited until she had broken con-
nection. then he faced her machine
and unhurriedly pulled . lever that
was connected with the tube that had
been lately attached to all his aerodro-
mones. A thick stream Of white liquid
shot out and landed squarely upon the
left wing Of the Princess. The bird
trembled. Santos calmly turned on
the emergency dry battery and. like
a great wounded bird. the Princess
began to settle downward. The white
stream was stopped, 4 def turn of the
wheel. a well-directed move and the
Eagle slipped between the wings Of
the Princess. and she was a prisoner
Rositta was as pale az death. The
terrible disappointment Of losing,
whom victory was so near. made her
and sisnaled orders quickly.
She had not noticed that Napoleon
just before he turned on the LIQUID
that had disabled her machine, had
hoisted q red signal, and a great feet
Of aerodromones rose from the coast
along North Carolina and silently
closed in on tho feet Of the enemy.
Tho formation Of Pamlico Sound
made this maneuver easy and Napo-
leon had cleverly led ROSETTA and her
fleet into the trap. He turned his
Nagle landward and. weighted as he
was. moved slowly away. His men
had been fully instructed in regard to
their action and Whistler led them.
