ichines which were about 8,000 feetbelow us pick a fight with nine Hunmachines.

I knew right, then that we were Infor it, because I could see over towardthe ocean a whole, flock of Hun ma-chines which evidently had escapedthe -attention of our scrappy country-men below us.

j So we dove down on those nineHuns. "*-?

I At first the fight was fairly even.There were eight of us to them.But Boon the other machines which Ihad seen in the distance, and whichwere flying even higher than we were,arrived on'the scene, and when they.In turn, dove down on us, there wus

Just twenty of them to our eight!.Four of them singled me out. I was

diving, and they dived right down afterme, shooting as they came. Theirtracer bullets were coming closer to'me every moment. These tracer bul-lets are balls of flte which ennble theshooter to follow the course his bul-lets are taking and to correct his aimaccordingly. They do no more harm

to a pilot If he is hit than an ordinarybullet, but If they hit the petrol tank,good night! When a machine entcheslire In flight tljere Is no way of put-ting Itout It takes le*s than a min-ute for the fabric to burn off the wings

and then the machine drops like nnarrow, leaving a trail of smoke like acomet.

? As their tracer bullets came closerand closer to me I realized that my

chances of escape were nil. Their verynext shot, Ifelt, must hit me.

j Once, some days before, when I wasflying over the line, I had watched afight above me. A German machinewas set on fire, and dived downthrough our formation In flames on Itsway to the ground. The Hun wus div-ing at such a sharp angle that bothhis wings came off, and as he passed.within a few hundred feet of me I sawthe look of horror on his face.

Now, when I expected any moment jto suffer a similar fate, I could not |help thinking of that poor Hun's lust 1look of agony,i

I line, but" theTe was a~s!lght wind Injmy favor, and Ji carried nie two miles| behind our lines. There the balloons

I had gone out to get had the satisfaf-

| tion of "pin-pointing" me. Throughj the directions which they were able to

I give to their artillery they commenced' shelling my machine where It lay.

This particular work is to direct the

fire of their artillery, and they areused Just as the artillery observationairplanes are. Usually two men arestationed in each balloon. They ascend '

to a height of several thousand feet

about five miles behind their own lines

I and are equipped with wireless andI signaling apparatus. They watch the '! burst of their own artillery, check up

the position, get the range, nnd directthe next shot.

When conditions are favorable theyare able to direct the shots so accu-rately that It Is quick work destroying

the object of their attack. It was sucha balloon as this that got my position,

marked me out, called for an artilleryshot, and they commenced shelling my

I machine where It lay. If I had got: the two balloons tnstend of the air-plane, I probably would not have lostmy machine, for he would In all proba-bilityhave gone on home and not both- \ered abftut getting my range and caus-ing the destruction of my machine.I landed in a part of the country

that was literally covered with shellholes. Fortunately my machine was

not badly damaged by the forced land-ing. I leisurely got out, walked aroundit to see what the .damage was, andconcluded thnt it could be easily re-paired. In fact, I thought if I couldfind a space long enough between shellholes to get a start b<*fore leaving theground (hat I would be able to fly onfrom there.

I was still examining my plane andconsidering the matter of a few slightrepairs, without any particular thoughtfor my own safety In that unprotectedBpot, when a shell came whizzingthrough the air, knocked me to theground and lnnded a few feet away.

It had no sooner struck than I madea run for cover and crawled Into a

shell hole. Iwould have liked to getfarther away, but I didn't know wherethe ncKt shell would burst, and Ithought I was fairly safe there, so Isquatted down and let them blazeaway.

The oflly damage I suffered was

from the mud which splattered up Inmy face and over my clothes. Thatwas my Introduction to a shell hole,and I resolved right there that the in-fantry could have all the shell-holefighting they wanted, hut it did notappeal to mo, though they live In themthrough many n long night and I hadonly sought shelter there for a fewminutes.

After the Germans had completelydemolished ipy machine and ceasedfiring, I waited there a short time,feartng pethaps they might send overa lucky shot, hoping to get me after

all. But evidently they concludedenough shells had been wasted on oneman. I crawled out cautiously, shookthe mud off, and I looked over In thedirection where my machine hnd oncebeen. There wasn't enough left for adecent souvenir, but nevertheless I gota few, "such as they were," und read-ily observing that nothing could be

done with what was left, I made myway back to lnfuntry headquarters,where I wus able to telephone In areport

A little "later one of our nutonio-blles came out after me and took me

back to our airdrome. Most of mysquadron thonght I wus lost beyond IJoubt, and never expected to see meagain; brkmy friend, Puul Ituney, had

field out that I was all right, and us( was afterwards told, said, "Don't

?end for another pilot; that Irishmanwill be back. If he has to walk." And

he knew that the only thing that keptme from walking was the fact that ourown automobile had bP?n"Sent out tobring me home.

I had lots to think about that day,and I had learned many things; onewas not to have too much confidenceIn my own ability. One of the men Inthe squadron told nie that I hud bet-ter not take those chances; "that itwas going to be a long war and Iwonld have plenty of opportunities tobe killed without deliberately "wishingthem on" myself. Later I was to learn

the truth of his statement.That nhiht my "flight"?each squad-

ron Is divided Into three flights, con-sisting of six men each ?got ready togo out again. ' As I started to put Onmy tunic I noticed that I was notmarked up for duty as usual.I asked the commanding officer, a

mpjor. what the reason for that wan,Und he replied that he thought I haddone enough for one day. However, jI knew that If I did not go, someoneelse from another "flight" would have ;to take my place, and I Insisted upon !going up with my patrol as usual, andthe major reluctantly consented. Hadhe known what was In store for me, I

am sure he wouldn't have changed hismind so readily. I

As It was we had only five machinesfor this patrol, anyway, because as we

crossed the lines one of them had todrop out on account of motor trouble.Our patrol was up at 8 p. in- and up

to within ten minutes of thnt hour Ithad been entirely uneventful.

At 7:50 p. m., however, while wewere flying at a height of 13,000 feet,we observed three other English ma-

CHAPTER 111.

Captured by the Hun*.Ishall not forget the 17th of (

August, 1017. t killed two Huns In Jthe double-seated machine in the [morning, another In the' evening, and jthen I Was captured myself. I mayhave spent more eventful days in mylife, but I can't recall any Just now.

That morning, In crossing the lineon early morning patrol, I noticedtwo German balloons. I decided thatas soon as my patrol was over I

would go oft on my own hook and seewhat a, German balloon looked likeat close quarters.

These observation balloons are used jby both sides In conjunction with theartillery. A man sits up fn the bal-loon with a wireless apparatus nnd di-rects the firing of the guns. From hispoint of vantage he can follow thework of his own artillery with a re-

? markahle degree of accuracy and et

the same time he can observe the ene-my's movements and report them.

The-Germans are very good at this jwork, and they use a great number of Ithese balloons. It was considered avery important part of our work tokeep them out of the sky.

There are two ways of going after a

?bnlloon In a machine. One of them is

to cross the lines at a low altitude, Hy-ing so near the ground that the manwith the antiaircraft gun can't botheryou. You fly along until you get to thelevel of the balloon and if, in themeantime, they have not drawn ftieballoon down, you open fire on It andthe bullets you use will set it on fireIf they land.

The other way Is to fly over whereyou know the balloons to be, put yourmachine In a spin so that they can'thit you, get above them, spin over theballoon and then open fire. In goingback over the line you cross at a fewhundred feet.

This Is one of the hardest Jobs Inthe service. There Is less danger inattacking an enemy's aircraft.

Nevertheless, I had made up mymind to either get those balloons ormake them descend, and I only hopedthat they would stay on the Job untilI had a chance 'at them.

When our two hours' duty Was up,therefore, Idropped out of the forma-tion as we crossed the lines and turnedback again.

Iwas at a height of 15,000 feet, con-siderably higher than the balloons.Shutting my motor off, I dropped downthrough the clouds, thinking to findthe balloons at about five or six milesbehind the German lines.

Just as I came out of the cloudbanks I saw below me, about a thou-sand .feet, a two-seater hostile ma-chine doing urtjllery observation anddirecting the German guns. This wusat a point about four miles behind theGerman lines.

Evidently the German artillery sawme and put out ground signals to at-

tract the Hun machine's attention, for( s#w the observer quit his work andgrab his gun, while their pilot stuckthe nose of his machine straightdown.

But they were too late to escape me.

t was diving toward them at a speed

of probably two hundred miles anhour, shooting all the time as fast aspossible. Their only chance lay Inthe possibility thnt the force of my

drive might break my wings. I knewmy danger In that direction, but assoon as I came out of my dive the

Huns would have their chance to getme, und I knew I had to get them firstand take a chance on my wings hold-ing out.

Fortunately some of my first bulletsfound their murk, and I was ajile tocome out of my dive at about fourthousand feet. They never came outof theirs!

But right then came the hottest sit-uation In the air I had ever experi-enced up to that time. The depth ofmy dive had brought me within reachof the machine guns from the ground,and they also put a barrage around meof shrapnel from antiaircraft gunsand IJiad an opportunity to "ride thebarrage," as they call it In the It. F. C.To make the situation more Interest-ing, they began shooting "flaming on-

ions" at me. "Flaming onions" arerockets shot from a rocket gun. Theyare used to hit a machine when It Isflying low, nnd they are effective upto about five thousand feet Some-times they are shot up one after an-

other in strings of about eight, andthey are one of the hardest things togo through. If they hit the machine,It Is bound to catch fire and then theJig Is ,up.

Ail the time, too, I was being at-tacked by "Archie"?the antiaircraftgun. I escaped the machine guns and

j the "flaming onions," but "Archie," theantiaircraft lire, got me four or fivetimes. Every time a bullet pluggedme, or rather niy machine. It made aloud bang, on account of the tension

on the material covering the wings.

None of their shots hurt me untilI was about a mile from our lines, andthen they hit my motor. Fortunately,I still had altitude enough* to drift onto our own side of the lines, for mymotor was completely out of cau)mis-

sion. They Just raised the dickenswith me all the time I was descend-ing, and I began to think I wouldstrike the ground before crossing the

purely for the love of It, whereas they

were fighting in defense of their coun-try, but still, they said, they admiredus for our sportsmanship. I had a no-

tion to ask them If dropping bombs onLondon and killing so many Innocentpeople was In defense of their country,but I was In no position or conditionto pick a quarrel at that time.

That same day a German officer was 1"brought Into the hospital and put In

the bunk next to mine. Of course t eicasually looked at him, but did notpay particular attention to him at thattime. He lay there for three or fourhours before I did take a real good

look at him. I was positive that hecould not speak English, and naturally

I did not say anything to him. Oncewhen I looked over In his direction hiseyes were on me, and to my surprisehe snld, very sarcastically, "What theh?l are you looking at" and thensmiled. At this time I was Just be-ginning to say a few words, as mywound had prevented me from talking,but I sold enough to let htm knowwhat I was doing there and how Ihappened to be there. Ho evidently

hnd heard my story from some of theothers, though, because he said It wustoo bad I had not broken my neck;that he did not have much sympathywith the flying corps anyway. Heasked me what port of America I camefrom, nnd I told him "California."After n few more questions helearned that I hailed from Hun Fran-cisco, nnd then added to my distressby saying, "How would you like tohave u good, Juicy steuk right out of

the Hofbrau?" Naturally I told him

it would "hit the spot," but I hnrdlythought my mouth was In shape Justthen to eat It. I Immediately asked,of course, what he knew about theHofbrau, and he replied, "I was con-nected with the place a good mnnyyears, and I ought to know all aboutIt-

After that this German officer nndI became rather chummy; Ulat Is, as

far as I could be chUmmy with anenemy, and we whllcd away a goodmany long hours talking about thedays we had spent In Bnn Francisco,and frequently In the conversation oneof us would mention some prominentCallfornlun, or some little Incident oc-curring there, with which we wereboth famlMar.

He told me when wnr was declaredhe wus, of course, Intensely putrlotlcand thought the only thing for him todo was to go back and aid In the de-fense of his country. He found thathe could not go .directly from HunFrancisco, beenflse the water wus toowell guarded by the English, so huboarded u boat for Bouth America.

There he obtulned a forged passportand In the guise of u Montevldean tookpassage for Ne\9 York and from thereto England.

He passed through England withoutany difficulty ou his forged pussport,but concluded not to risk going to llol-

lund for feur of exciting too much sus-picion, so went down through theHtralt of Gibraltar to Italy, which was

m-ulral ill lbjit Urn-, uj> to Austria,aud thence to Germany. lie said whenthey put in at Gibraltar, after leavingEngland, there were two sus|ts(.'tstaken off the ship, men that he wassure were neutral subjects, but muchto his relief his own passport and cre-

the largest of all. Although I neverlooked Into this "wing" of the hospital,I was told that it, too, was filled withpatients lying on beds of straw aroundon the ground. Ido not know whetherthey, too, were officers or privates.

The room In which I found myself

contained eight beds, three of whichwere occupied by wounded German of-ficers. The other rooms, I imagined,hud about the Bame number of beds asmine. There were tjo Red Cross nursesIn attendance, Just orderlies, for thiswas only un emergency hospital andtoo near the firing line for nurses. Theorderlies were not old men nor veryyoung boys, as I had expected to find,but young men In the prime of life,who evidently hud been medical stu-dents. One or two of them, I discov-ered, were able to talk English, butfor some reason they would not tnlk.Perhaps they were forbidden by theofficer In charge to do so.

In addition to the bullet wound Inmy mouth I had a swelling from my

forehead to the back of my head al-most as big as my shoe?and thnt issuying considerable. I couldn't movenn inch without suffering Intense pain,and when the doctor told me that Ihad no bones broken I wondered howa fellow would feel who had.

German officers visited me thatmorning and told me that my machinewent down In a spinning nose divefrom a height df .between 8,000 and9,000 feet, and they had the surpriseof their lives when they discoveredthat I had not been dashed to pieces.They had to cut me out of my machine,which was riddled With shots and shat-tered to bits..

A German doctor removed the bulletfrom my throat, and the first thing hesaid to me when I came to was, "Youare an American I"

There was no denying It, becausethe metal Identification disk on my

j wrist bore the Inscription:"P. O'B.

I realized that my only chance lay

In mnklng un Immelman turn. Thismaneuver was Invented by a German ?

one of the greatest who &er flew andwho was killed in action sometime be-fore. This turn, which I made success-fully, brought one of their machineslight in front of me, and as he sailedalong barely ten yards away, I "hadthe drop" on him, and he knew it

His white face and startled eyes Ican still see. He knew beyond ques-tion that his last moment had come,because his position prevented his tak-ing aim at me, while my gun pointedStraight at klin. My first tracer bulletpassed wfthln a yard of his head, the

second looked as If It hit his shoulder,the third struck him in the neck, andthen I let him have the whole works,and he went down In a spinning nose

' i muehlnes were shooting away at me.I could hear the bullets striking my

1 machine one after another. I hadn'tI the slightest Idea that I could ever

' beat off those three Iluiis. but there' j was nothing for me to do but fight, nnd' my hands were full.

disappeared. A burst of bullets went

Iwas a prisoner of war.

CHAPTER IV.

Clipped Wings.The hospital In which I found my-

self on the morning after ray capturewas a private house made of brick,

1 very low and dirty, and not at all1 adapted for use as a hospital. It had

evidently been used but a few doys on !account of the big push that was tak-ing place at that time of the year, andIn nil probability would be abandonedas soon as they hud found a betterplace.

,

In all, the house contained four;rooms and a stable, which was by far

agony, the doctor, who spoke perfectEnglish, Inslsteif upon cohverslng withme.'* "You may be all right as a sports-man," he declared, "but you are ad d murderer Just the siune for be-ing here. You Americans who got Intothis thing before America came intothe wur are no better than commonmurderers and you ought to be treatedthe snme way!"

The wound In my mouth mude It Im-possible for me to answer blin, and Iwas suffering too much pain to be

hurt very much by anything he couldsay.

He asked me If I would like anapple! I could Just us easily hsveeaten a brick.

When he got no answers out of me,

he walked away disgustedly."You don't have to worry uny more,"

he declared, as a parting shot. "Foryou the war Is over."

I was given a little broth later io

the day, aud as i begun to collect mythoughts I wondered what hud hap-pened lo my comrades In the buttlewhich had resulted so disastrously tome. As I bi-gati to realize my plight

I worried less about my physical con-

dition than the fact that, lis the doc-

tod had [Kilnted oOt, for me the wurwas practically over. I hud been In Itbut a short time, and now I would be

\u25a0 a prisoner for the duration of the war!The next day some German flying

i officers visited me, and I must say theytreated me »ith great consideration.

They told me of the man I had broughtdown. They sold he wus a Bavarian

1 and a fairly good pilot. They gave me

his hat as a souvenir and compliment-

ed me 'to the fight 1 had put up.My helmet, which wus of soft

leather, HIIS split from front to bail

by a bullet from a machine gun, nndthey examined It with great Interest.When they brought me my uniform 1found that the star of my rank whichhad been on my right shoulder straphail been shot off clean. The one on |my left shoulder strap they asked mefor as n souvenir, as also my It. F. C.badges, which I gave them. They al-lowed me to keep my "wings," whichI wore on my left breast, because they

. were aware that that Is the proudest

? possession of a British flying officer.

I think I am right In saying that theonly chivalry In this war on the Ger-

I man side of the trenches has been dls-

| played by the officers of the German

j flying corps, which comprises the picklof Germany. They pointed out to mej that 1 and mv comriifled were flchtlnt

On aecond thought heluughed as though It were a good joke,but he evidently Intended me to Inferthat he had taken a keen Interest Inpolitics In San Francisco.

When my "chummy enemy" firststarted his conversation with me, theGerman doctor In charge reprimandedhtm for talking to me, but he paid noattention to the doctor, showing thatsome real Americanism had soakedInto Ills system while he had been Inthe U. H. A. 1 nsked him one day whathe thought the German people woulddo after the war; If he thought they

would make Oerrnany a republic, andmuch to my surprise he said very bit-terly, "If I had my way about It, Iwould moke Iter a republic today andhang the d d kulser In the bar-guln." And yet he was considered anexcellent soldier. I concluded, how-ever, that he must have been a Ger-man socialist, though he never told me80. On one occasion I asked hint forhis name, but he said that"lwmildprobably never see him agatn and Itdidn't matter what his name was. Idid not know whether he meant thatthe Germans would starve me out, or

lust what was on his mind, for at thattime I am sure he did not figure ondying. The first two or three daysI was In the hospital I thought surelyhe would be up and gone long beforeI was, but blood poisoning set Inabout that time, and Just a few hoursbefore I left for Courtrul he died.
