we found that the Cachalot was the

they were suspicious We showed up
only a month after the fall of Die

still in turmoil. They probably
thought we were the vanguard of a

what about the Smith brothers
on st. Lucia?" we asked, giving
the skipper fresh material.
"Yes, they were the two colored
youngsters at Port Castries who
came out in tiny sloop with Yacht
for hire scrawled on the sail. They
took us out sailing-one at time,
of course. Come to find out the
Smith brothers had a reputation as
builders of the islands finest small
craft. And they did their own de-
signing. We visited their ship yard
and would you believe it, their shop
was on top of a small mountain
back of the town. They had the
launching problem solved, which was
one of the first questions when you
got your breath after the long climb.
The boys bought some local rum,
invited friends and when it was gone,
the guests simply carried the boat
down the hill as one man."

There's no denying, Yacht to

Plane Would Catch Up
The explanation simply is that
the following plane, travelling SIS
miles an hour, would catch up with
the floating bullet.
Thus its pilot would chase the
bullet and run into it SO hard that
he would kill himself.
And we would have no more
chance of lodging it than if he were
standing still.
If you have followed us this far,
we mightpas well tell you, too that
pilots in the next war won't be
shooting at each other with service
revolvers and -foot-a-second bull
lets but with machine guns that spit
shots at 2,700 feet a second. You
can figure out the machine gun

his bullet would be travelling not BOZ

But suppose the bullet was fired
by the man in the front plane in

That bullet never would go back
