employment is increasing.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
British Altman Goes Through Ex.
citing Experience.
Tail Of His Machine Shot OF While
Flying at 10000 Feet Over
Ostend.

London.-A British airman flying a
powerful machine at 10000 feet over
Ostend recently had the machines tail
shot off by the direct hit Of a shell, a
very unusual occurrence.
The machine turned upside down,
out of control, and the pilot was
thrown out Of his seat. BY some in
explicable maneuver he managed to
Chamber onto the bottom Of the fusel-
age of the machine astride of which
he sat as if he was riding a horse.
Though the machine was out of con-
troll, owing to the loss of it's tail planes,
yet by moving forward and backward
he so managed to balance it that it
glided steadily downward, although 1t
was upside down.
He successfully brought it across
the German lines and came safely to
within a few hundred feet Of the
ground. Then he crashed and was In
jured, but is now recovering in hos
pital.
When it is considered that this in
cident occurred at a height Of 10000
feet, over hostile territory, and that
during the airman's terribly precarious
ride he was subject to anti-aircraft
fire, and liable to the attack of hostile
scouts, it is not too much to say that
his is a record achievement.
Recently another airman was shot
down, out of control, from $4,000 feet,
and fell, iluttering like a leaf toward
the ground. At a height of 5000 feet
he tainted. Shortly afterward he
came to, and found himself in the ma
chine upside down in a marsh, unhurt.
