CHAPTER "

I had gtrayed over a hundred miles
OF my course and experienced a
minor crack-up. but / departed with
$3.50 more in my pocket than I had
arrived with, besides confidence IN
my ability to make at least a little
more than expenses by barnstorm-
ing.
The constant rains had filled the
rivers to Overlooking. and after leav-
Ing Maben / flew over flooded terri
tory nearly all the way to Lake Vii.
LACE, Ark. Often the water was up
to the second story windows Of the
warehouses, and a forced landing at
any time would have at last meant
nosing over.
/ had installed the compass while
waiting for the new propeller at
Maben, and experienced no further
difficulty in holding my course.
The Landing
After circling Lake Village i
landed In q field several miles north
OF town. The nearest building was
q clubhouse and soon the keeper and
his family had arrived beside the
plane. They invited me to stay with
them as long as I wished, but the
keeper persistently refused to ac-
cept q flight in return for his hos
pitality. / carried only q handful OF
passengers that afternoon. The fly
ing territory around that part Of the
country was fairly good and there
were number of fields available for
planes to land in. Consequently, an
mirplane was no longer the drawing
attraction that it was farther in the
interior.
/ staked the plane down much
earlier than usual and went over TO
the clubhouse.
Evening came on with the clear
ness of q full moon and open sky.
The landscape was Illuminated with
d soft yellow light: an ideal night
for flying. I decided to see what
the country looked like from the air
1T night and JokingIy asked my host
TO accompany me. To my surprise,
he willingly agreed. For some rea-.
son he had no fear Of q night Tight
although had been. unable to per.
suade him to 20 up with me In the
daytime. What his reaction would
have been had he known that had
never flown after dark before Is
matter Of speculation.
Moonlight Flight
We united the plane. removed the
canvases from engine and cockpit,
and after few minutes spent in
warming up the motor, TAXED down
the field and took off for a moon
Light flight down the Mississippi and
over Lake Village.
Later in the evening after the
ship was again securely staked to
the ground and we were sitting

George of Georgia for the Vice
Presidential candidate. Governor
Moody of Texas, who is coming in
today, also is being mentioned for

All the Presidential talk centers
around AL Smith. The committee

for him, or bitter against him, and
thus all the buzzing turns on
Smiths chances for obtaining the
nomination.
