Kappe. according to reports, was

But there was suspense enough for
all of us; in the movements and
quick voices Of those on the bridge;
in the quietly relayed orders and
messages; the fog -blunted stabs of
giant searchlights. All this had
been prologue.
Now Lucky was on the water. He
had made his decisions, and done
his part of the job, superbly. It
was up to us to find him, and If
we were to find him at all it would
have to be soon. To miss the plane
on our first run up to the estimated
position would probably mean miss
ing it forever. To leave it out all
night on the sea would probably
mean certain destruction for it and
its occupants. The fog perhaps
would lift before morning, but a
few hours in moderately rough
water would tear the light machine
to fragments.
We came up to the end of our
planned run. Still no sign of the
plane. Ones heart sank. What
optimistic fools we were. How could
we have expected, in all this green
gray vastness of impenetrabflity, to
steer to within a few-score feet OF
the inf1nitesimally insignificant air.
plane.
At this point one Of Lucky's fel-
low pilots had an idea. A fairly
obvious idea. you'll say. Indeed it
seemed so to us-as soon as we heard
1t mentioned. The kind of thing
that should have been thought of
at once; should have been down in
black and white in all the elemen-
tary procedure manuals.
why not have Lucky fire a few
bursts from his machine gum"
Fire Machine Gun.
We waited anxiously for the in
struction to 60 out. "GOZ to Lucky:
this is COZ to Lucky. Fire a few
machine gun bursts at 30-second
intervals. I will repeat. Fire ma
| chine gun at intervals 80 seconds.
Go ahead"
Some OF us went round aft On the
bridge and stood in the glare of the
lights, our ears straining. This
sounds came from of our port bow;
family, at first. then stronger; then
faint and strong by alienation as
the wind fell and quickened.
And that was the show. Within
few seconds destroyer to port
OF us had picked up the plane with
her light. Soon we saw the little
red and green lamps OF its wingtips
riding up astern. Lucky was safe.
