HAD A FINE TIME

'The most wonderful trip ! was
eevr on" was Lieut.. James A. Wood
rufus comment on the San Antonio
Porto Rico flight recently completed
by twelve army aviators. Lieutenant
Sivoodruff returned to Kelly Field
TJesday night from Washington, ID.
c.. where the trip was officially end
cd. He was the first of the four
pilots from Kelly Fields No. and 2,
who made the trip, to return here.
Liest. Delmar II. Dunton, also from
Eelly Field No. ., is expected TO
arrive here Thursday. 1t is not
known exactly when Lieutenant Sci
ger of Kelly No. 2 and Lieutenant
Norman Of Kelly No. will return.
Lieutenant Woodruff could hardly
tell of the trip for stopping to praise
the ships in which they flew.
1.-The most of the credit for that
flight goes to the Air intermediate
Depot" he said, lit proves that if you
make an airplane right you can take
them anywhere"
The only motor trouble of the en-
tire flight was encountered by Lieu
tenant Longfellow who had two new
cylinders put in his motor at Ment-
gorhery. Ala. l'.-
Were Treated Royalty.
"Lieutenans Kirksey and Sellers
landing at Acadia in which their ship
nosed over was purely streak of hard
luck" Lieutenant Woodruff said.
Landing on the beach. the photo
graphic ship hit about eighteen inches
of water and nosed over. The ship
was abandoned there and replaced
with a regular DeHaviland Alb that
: General Patrick had planned to use
in flying with us to Miami"
Everywhere the American airmen
were treated royalty. Lieutenant
Woodruff said. At every stop it was
hard to get away TO do a littleework
on the planes there were so many en-
tertainments and receptions to attend.
From San Antonio TO Porto Rico
and back to, Washington the twelve
aviators were given a continuous re-
ception.
After leaving Florida the flying was
very difficult. the pilot explained. due
mostly to the northeast trade winds
! that the ships had to buck" all the
way. When the first water hop was
made from Miami to Havana, the six
planes were forced to fly at the low
altitude of 1900 feet. ~
There were few ships on the
water" Lieutenant Woodruff said.
"but most of the time we were out of
sight of everything but water"
No Ships i'm Sight.
= The hardest flight of all was the
one between the Dominican Republic
and Porto Rico. On this flight the
aviators were 3 hours and 40 minutes

Virgil put on his coat, his belt, and
sat down on the grass. The old man
was silent. his eyes closed. He might
he dead. but no matter. More than an
hour dragged by, the breeze moaning
in the cane. Virgil arose and stood

again and waited, the wind tangling
the tops of the cane.
He heard the canoe coming.

Tie bowed his head and through his
tangled lashes looked up at Drace, fire
cleaning through brushwood. But he
spoke to Nadine, turning upon her a
less malignant glance.

ed, fearful that some harm might be-

"No, my love one" she gently OPP
posed him. "You must stay here for
no harm can come to me now. Stay
here and he kind to him, for kindness
is the will of the One above. You
will, yes?'
She kissed him fondly, and the Old
wolf-eyes closed, that they might not
gee. Now she was ready to go. Virgil
steadied the canoe for her and gently
showed it off She threw him kiss,
and rounding a green cape, raised her
paddle into the sunlight and flashed
him adieu.
brace returned to Stepho's chair, the
old man shagging his brows at him.
Then thinking Of the rope still but
toned tightly beneath his coat, he tore
u out and threw it away. Nature, he
reflected, had usurped his task, and he
could safely turn over to her his
claims. A slight noise behind him; he
looked quickly about, and there a few
feat behind him at the edge of the
cane stood Tony. Upon him the vision
Of Braces countenance came, It
sssmed, with startling flash In.
stantly he fell back, through the cane
fringe, into the bayou. Loudly he
cgied for help.
"Oh, monsieur" implored the old
man, please hep heem queek. He can
no swim. An he die befo' hees sins
they was forgive. Hep the po wretch,
monsieur Queek, monsieur"
Virgil threw off his coat and his pls.
tol-belt, and leaped into the water A
moment before, he would have shot
the beast; now he would save him.
Tony was not in sight. But soon he
arose, swimming, and BRACE saw a
knife In his hand. In the water Tony
was as much at home as a beaver!
He dived, and Virgil knew now that
1t was his aim to dart beneath him and
with the knife to rip him as a skillful
swimmer rips crocodile. But in the
water the strong man, young Drace
was at home, too and turning about
with quick swirl, he waited. Tony
came up; and now they came toward
each other, like rival otters-grappled
and struggled, treading water, Shout
ders up. Virgil caught Tonys left
wrist, wrenched his arm limp and
helpless, seized him by the throat, his
left hand steel-gripped about the MUIR
derous right wrist, the knife hand.
No mercy now! Fire and water.
