! CHARGE THAT WON FLOTILLA
Remarkable Exploit of South American
Lianeros When Operating With
General Simon Bolivar,
. The Llanero of South America lives
on horseback. He trades, buys and
sells on horseback, and during the war
with Spain the Llaneros contributed
much toward achieving the independ-
éncoe of Venezuela and New Granada,
There is related a story of an og
easion when, it was necessary for
Bollvar's army to cross the Apure to
engage Morillo, But Bollvar had no
boats and the Apure at this point was
wide and deep.
The Spanish flotilla was guarding
the river opposite to the patriot forces,
Jolivar was in despair, Turning to
Paez he sald, “I would give the world
to have the Spanish flotilla; without It
I ean never cross the river.”
“It shall be yours in an hour,” re-
plied Paez,
Selecting 800 of his Llanero lan-
cers, all distinguished for strength
and bravery, he sald, pointing to the
gunboats. “We thust have these
flecheras or dle. Let those follow who
please.”
Spurring his horse he dashed [nto
the river and swam toward the flo-
tilla. The Llaneros followed with thelr
lances in thelr hands, now encouraging
thelr horses by swimming beside them
and patting thelr necks, now shouting
to seare away the crocodiles, of which
there were hundreds. At last they
reached the other side and sprang from
thelr horses’ backs on board the boats,
headed by their leader. To the aston-
ishment of they actually
captured the entire flotilla,

Shooting Camera.
One of the most remarkable inven
tions of the war is the Hythe gun-
camera, or camera-gun. Its object is to
show pllots the results of their ma
chine-gun fire when maneyyring in
training. -
By means of this contrivance a ca
det, after firing a volley of Imaginary
shots at another airplane maneuvering
close to his own, is able to tell, on
descending, exactly where his shots
would have hit had his bullets and the
enemy been real. The handle he
presses releases negatives only, but by
means of a process which allows for
wind currénts as well as the respective
speeds of the opponents, the result of
the shots is registered with the most
minute accuracy.
