I was about a mile from our lines,

tunately, I still had altitude enough
to drift on to our own side of the
lines, for my motor was completely

slight repairs, without any particu
lar thought for my own safety in
. that unprotected spot, when a shell
I came whizzing through the air,
I knocked me to the ground and land
[ed a few feet away. It had no soon
ier struck than 1 made a run for
cover and crawled into a shellhole.
1 would have liked to get farther
away, but I didn't know where the
next shell would burst and I thought
1 was fairly safe there, so I squatted
down and let them blaze away.
The only damage 1 suffered was
from the mud which splattered up
in my face and over my clothes. That
was my introduction to a shell
hole. and 1 resolved right there that
the infantry could have all the shell
hole fighting they wanted, but it did
not appeal to me, though they live
in them through many a long night
and 1 had only sought shelter there
for a few minutes.
After the Germans had complete
ly demolished my machine and
ceased firing. I waited there a short
time, fearing perhaps they might
send over a lucky shot, hoping to
get me after all. But evidently they
concluded enough shells had been
wasted on one man. 1 crawled out
cautiously, shook the mud off, and
I looked over in the direction where
my machine had once been. There
wasn't enough left for a decent
souvenir, but nevertheless I got a
few, "such as they were," and readily
observing that nothing could be done
with what was left. J made my way
back to infantry headquarters, where
I was able to phone in a report.
A little later one of our auto-
I mobiles came out after me and took
' me back to our aerodrome. Most of
my squadron thought 1 was lost
beyond a doubt and never expected
to see me again: but my friend, Paul
Kaney. had held out that 1 was all
right, and as 1 was afterward told,
said, "Don't send for another pilot:
1 that Irishman will.be back, it he lias
to walk." And lie knew that the only
thing that kept me from walking
was the fact that our own automobile
had been sent out to bring nie home.
1 had lots to think about that day,
and 1 had learned many things; one
was not to have too much confidence
in my own ability. One of the men in
the squadron told me that I had
better not take those chances; that
it was getting to be a long war and
I would have plenty of opportunities
to be killed without deliberately
"wishing them, on" myself. Uater I
was to learn the truth of his state
ment.
That night my "flight"—each
squadron is divided into three flights,
consisting of six men each—got
ready to go out again. As I started
to put on iny tunic I noticed that I
was not marked up for duty as
usual.
I asked the commanding officer, a
major, what the reason for that was,
and he replied that he thought I had
done enough for one day. However.
I knew that if 1 did not go. someone
else from another "flight" would
have to take my place, and I in
sisted upon going up with my patrol
as usual, and the major reluctantly
Consented. Had he known what was
in store for me I am sure he wouldn't
have changed his mind so readily.
As it was we had only five !
machines for this patrol, anyway,
because as we crossed the lines one |
of them had to drop out on account ■
of motor trouble. Our patrol was up
at 8 P. M., and up to within ten !
minutes of that liour it hAd been ■
entirely uneventful.
At 7.r>o P. M„ however, while we
were flying at a height of 16,000 feet, i
we observed three other English 1
machines which were about 3,000 '

feet below us pick a fight with nine
Hun machines.
1 knew right then that we were
In for It, because I could see over
toward the ocean. a whole flock of
Hun machines which evidently had
escaped the attention of our scrappy
countrymen below us.
So we dove down on those nine
Huns. There were eight of us to
nine of them. But soon the other
machines which I had seen In the
distance, and which were flying even
higher than we were, arrived on the
scene, and when they, in turn, dove
down on us, there was just twenty
of them to our eight!
Four of them singled me out. 1
was diving, and they dove right
down after me, shooting as they
came. Their tracer bullets were
coming closer to me every moment.
These tracer bullets are balls of
fire which enable the shooter to fol
low the course his bullets are tak
ing and to correct his aim according
ly. They do no more harm to a pilot
if he is hit than an ordinary bullet,
but if they hit the petrol tank, good
night! When a machine catches tire
In flight there is no way of putting
it out. It takes less than a minute
for the fabric to burn off the wings,
and then the machine drops like an
arrow, leaving a trail of smoke like
a comet.
As their tracer bullet came closer
and closer to me 1 realized that my
chances of escape were nil. Their
very next shot, 1 felt must hit me.
Once, some days before, when I
was flying over the line 1 had watch
ed a tight above me. A German ma
i hine was set on fire, and dove down
through our formation in flames on
its way to the ground. The Hun was
diving at such a sharp angle that
both his wings came off. and as he
passed within a few hundred feet of
me I saw the look of horror upon his
face.
| Now, when 1 expected any mo
ment to suffer a similar fate, I could
not help thinking of that poor Hun's
last look of agony.
1 realized that my only chance. la>
in making an lmmerman turn. This
maneuver was invented by a Ger
man—one ol' tile greatest who ever
; flew and who was killed in action
some time ago. Thus turn, which I
made successfully, brought one of
t their machines right in front of me.
and as he sailed along barely ten
yards away, 1 "had the drop" on
him. and he knew it.
His white face, and startled eyes
I- can still see. He knew heyonii
question that his last moment had
come, because his position prevented
his taking aim at me. while my nun
pointed straight at him. My ftrsi
tracer bullet passed within n ya.d of
his head, the second looked as if it
hit his shoulder, the third struck him
in the neck, and then I let him have
the whole works, and he went down
in a spinning nose dive.
All this time the three other Hun
machines were shooting away at me.
I could hear the bullets striking my
machine one after another. I had
not the slightest idea that I could
ever beat off these three Huns, but
there was nothing for me to do but
fight, and my hands wprp full.
Tn fighting, your machine is drop
! ping. dropping all the time. I
{glanced at my instruments, and my
1 altitude was between S.OOO and 9,000
I feet. While I was still looking at
[the instruments, the whole blamed
works disappeared. A burst of bul
lets went into the instrument board
and blew it to smithereens, another
| bullet went through my upper lip,
, and lodged in my throat, and the
next thing I knew was when I came
r! to in a German hospital, the follow
t ing morning at 5 o'clock. German
time.
I was a prisoner of war!
