Well, several days ago six Portuguese
came to camp. They put them in the
penguin class and things began to
happen right away because two in
particular would insist on trespassing
on our course, with the result that
it was ticklish work going down our
track. One day two of them got on
the course just as one of our pupils
was halfway down. OF course he had
to swerve to dodge them, and as he
did two more appeared on the other
side and boxed him up. At the same
time anothers Portuguese lost control
and went through a hangar. 1t was
very amusing as well as exciting to
we Americans because it looked for
all the world like a game of polo, and
nobody seemed to know where the
ball was. The officer in command
got the different machines untangled
and proceeded to bawl out those re-
sponsible.
Very Amusing
AS an amusing sight this proceeding

be directly concerned, which puts a
