it had no equal, but l am not crazy

as a pilot. There are too many

what is so dangerous, 1t clouds ones
goggles and one cannot see. I tried
different ways of keeping that rain
off my goggles. First 1 rubbed them
off with my gloves at close intervals.
That failing, I tried ducking my
head, but there were too many drops
to dodge, so I tried putting my one
hand in front of the goggles and driv-
ing with the other; that worked
pretty fair, and just as l had given
myself up for lost, because 1t was
hard to see the ground, ran out of
the rainstorm and came in sight of
the camp. I had started to come
down as soon as 1 hit the rain so
could see better. Thus, when I came
in sight of the camp l was only 500
metres up and looking down beheld
