when it struck an air pocket Clouds

no idea where he was. When he real

produced no effect, he glanced at his
compass. It was turned sideways, IN

with its wings AT right angles to the
earth. Carefully he reversed his con-
trolls, fearing that too quick reverse
would crumple the planes. Several
times he did that. At last he felt
them take hold.

he saw the earth not more than 500
feet beneath him. He had fallen like
