Philip had been steadily pushing up
ward since the appearance of the stray
Cling intruder. Our slow going machine
was no climber. One chance at the enemy
with our heavy gun was all we could
expect. Once we had launched our attack
and passed under the Huns we should
never have an opportunity to climb above
them again. They were moving almost
as fast as we were.
Again we were at eight thousand feet
Our darting airplanes below were annoy
ing the raider so persistently that her
crew had no time for selecting choice
buildings Of Paris for their bombs. Again
the Germans resorted to their ruse for
shaking off the airplanes, and we saw her

utmost speed, she was still battling the
range-fnders and gunners of the French
batteries below. The pursuing airplanes
swung about her at safe distance over
head. With marvellous agility, the big
balloon lodged and dived her way across
the danger zone covered by our land guns.
In the gondolas, swung close below the
keel of the ship, we could see the German
gunners standing by their pieces. On
the backbone Of the monster, amidships,
was the upper gun platform with rapid
fire machine gun mounted on an anti
aircraft pedestal. At intervals, several of
our circling battleplanes swooped down at
the Zeppelin together, pouring in volleys
from their small guns as they approached.
AS they passed under the Zeppelin, the
airplanes ceased firing and braved the
danger of the exploding shells as we'll as
the German fire from the gondolas, while
they again climbed in spiral leaps to their
upper berth.
Airplane rockets were fred upward by
some Of our pilots, but none Of them
struck their target. Bomb after bomb
was dropped from above, and they could
be discerned bursting into flame as they
struck the ground after grazing the sleek
sided enemy.

have safe going until she reaches the
Notifications about Paris itself.
These reflections occupied me only an
instant. The self-appreciation that came
to me when / realized that Captain Peron
had arrived at the same conclusion occu-
pied me the balance Of the night. Phil
had headed our slow-going bus directly
away from the trenches and was shooting
steeply down to lower level.
Dlackness Unbroken by
u a Single Light
On, on, we flew. Several times
thought the encircling searchlights below
were on the edge of Paris, but we passed
them by without hesitation. At last, when
could not believe we were over the city.
The blackness below was not broken by q
single spark Of light
We had beaten the enemy to her OBJ
jective point and must await the move
ments of the searchlight operators to in
dicate the exact place to strike. We had
been picked up and followed by these alert
operators most Of our way in. Our sig
nails satisfied them as to our identity and
we were soon cruising about the aerial
harbor Of Paris, mingling our warning
lights with those Of countless other de-
fenders-ships that pass IN the night.
Truly, no equal mystery and concern at
tach to the passing craft on the sea.
Like restless frefies skimming, the de-
Tending planes crossed and recrossed the
threshold TO Paris at every elevation from
one thousand to fifteen thousand feet.
AS it is of no use to strain ones eyes
against the blackness of the midnight sky,
the air scout plies his craft in and out
among his fellows, with one eye out for
collisions and the other eye following the
movements Of the searchlights below. AS
soon as anything hostile is discerned, the
inquiring beams Of light begin to approach
it from every angle. Soon the enemy is in
a focus Of light which blinds its eyes and
reveals its smallest movement to the
sweeping scouts above.
Coming steadily along, we now beheld
the sister ship, the cynosure Of every TO-
cussed light, accompanied by the usual
spray Of bursting shells; moving at her

the flock of buzzing planes darted down

The Zeppelin Discharged a

We ourselves had been able to follow
the maneuvres Of tho enemy craft from
the moment she shot out Of the encircling
shafts Of light We had observed, how
ever, a significant signal which might well
have escaped the attention Of both the
volplaning pilots and the land forces be-
low. The Zeppelin had let off a rocket
which lit up the heavens in our vicinity
with its floating blue balls of incandescent
light. She was undoubtedly sending up
a signal to her sister ship that now was

while We were all engaged on tho present

But which way would the second Yep
steer her course? Would she keep to the
left or would she cross the river and be
already on her way around our other end?
Obviously she will not enter another sec
tor where all the defences are on the
alert, but she will skirt the edge of this
