We sailed from Montreal March

were 80 of us aviators ON board
with the same number of war
planes. We encountered a German
U-boat off of the Irish coast and it
was with much difficulty that we
finally landed in Havre, France.
Immediately upon our arrival we
were carried inward by the peculiar
railroads to the training camp and
supply bases, some IS miles from
the front. We could at this dis
lance hear the roar and booming
of the gigantic field pieces all
through the day and night. And we
longed to get into the fray.
Occasionally one of our ma
chimes would whir there way into
the air to combat with an enemy
machine. And an air battle would
ensue. The first one I saw result

So when Star threw his weight

And the latter is what it proved
to be. The freight was behind time
and an excursion train had tried to
make the next station before the

crashed into 1t. Both engines were

The lights OF the hangar were

the commander took the receiver
