A French naval officer. flying a
seaplane, recently was driven down
by a German airplane and landed in
the sea, within range OF the enemy
coast batteries.
Shells fell all about him. and, real
izing that he could not be saved, he
sent his pigeon out with this message:
"They have got the range. All is
over. Viva la France"
The crew of another flying boat
found itself In difficulty at sea and
dispatched a pigeon. The weather
was bad and the bird had to battle
with head wind. He fought his
way to the coast line. however, and
fell dead "a few miles from home. The
message was delivered and the crew
was saved.

could not see who 1t was in the dark
hut; she smeared her hand with SCOT,

his cheek with her hand. When light
was brought she saw that it was her
brother and fled. He ran after her and
followed her, but as she came to the
end of the earth she sprang out into
