looking very like a blue eye surrounded by a white cornea of salt set in a brown face this region was the object of the air patrol for here were camped the arab and berber forces then hostile to

he nodded at some thing white moving far below lefauoon as it sped along the reporter started is that meaghers talgle away down there orlet nodded cant the arab snipers reach him they do not shoot often he is higher than he looks anyway presently orlet shut off power entirely and the monoplane sliced through the high air with a whistling sound below them the hostile country lav like a great concave saucer suddenly both men caught a spite ful poppopping of lines far below that for us inquired martin smiling the uselessness of the distant volley meager explained the frenchman laconically he is coasting now you will hear his engine start presently the reporter stared below at talgle another volley burst out not much louder than the snapping of fingers but still no sound issued from the

salt rim of the lake it appeared to graae the tips of some tall cocoanut palms it then glided slow- i making the utmost use of its altitude about nve hundred yards farther and settled as gently as a duck j orlet pushed forward his stick- m faucon took a steeper bank and darted i at the crippled biplane like a striking kuigflsher to martin the surface ofj the lake seemed to darken broaden and leap bodily toward him prom the rrar the reporter heard the sharp spat- ting of rifles thirty seconds later tli- hydroplane touched water rebounded j like a skipping stone then settled in the j- choppy

and headed for the -t- bolts wheels and nuts into the jake he grabbed a wrsneh and meagher caught up a hatchet together they climbed to the top wing and began lashing and banging the silk into threads they broke and bent the delicate truss- lng snapped wires mined the control the bracing wires sang queer tunes under their furious strokes the frame work snapped they attacked the bi plane with a bastinado or ringing blows just then the picturesque cavalcade dashed through the pains that instant the two pilots smashed the light pon toons of the demolished paigto as sntsank they dived into the water and atruck out hand over hand toward the moioplane as the men hploshad desperately to- ward their craft the cavalry wnooled up tne horsemen dismounted knelt on the sand and made ready to fire martin watched the levelled rifles with queer fascination jie recalled that the arabs were expert shots with their long awk- i ward weapons the rifles flamed the sound came to the reporter like whipcracks over his head bullets snipped through the fabric of the wing cut a wire or two splashed viciously around the swimmers the reporter felt himself over mentally and was a little surprised to find himself whole and alive a desultory firing began as the two swimmers climbed dripping aboard le faucon tney squeesed hurriedly into the little cockpit the pontoons sagged deep in the water orlet prwuied the starting lever the big propeller began i to whirl and the motor began a sudden loud barking like a badly scared terrier thank heaven gasped orlet they of whitish green didnt touch che motor i the loaded hydroplane began moving down the lake the arabs gave a parting volley and hastily mounted they divided into two squads and gave chase around the lake to both sides le faucon gathered speed ond the voice of her motor arose to a scream the heavy red pontoons gradually pulled out of the water and rushed along de capitating the waves into feathery spume tiie swift motion again brought relief from the stupefying tropical heat lay low there bawled meagher to martin yere catching tne wnd like a zeppelin dirigible down the lake rushed le faucon with the men packed down like three conned shrimps orlet gave the hydro plane full speed and tipped up her elevator the pontoomrtlfled until they formed buvahh1nlnfsnllrig spray the ship seemed within a hair of rising then

spirit ah sure now dont bather about me bad temper twas the heat rmnot- forgettln you came down to get me and say i meant no harm whin i called ye a frlnchman rifti relief gave le faucon a quick turn that sent the end of the hydroplane under the water with the noise of a cataract and almost flung the two passen gers into the lake next instant the monoplane righted straightened and went dashing dowfrlhe lake straight at the enemy to recoup her distance for another trlex if youll let me out shouted martin clinging to the rail maybe they would let me get to a cable im not a com batant whist

exhaust of her motor had risen to a high vibrant roar they were within the last hundred yards of shore and gofno seventy miles an hour even then somehow meaghor forced out another few miles of speed the ealt- rlmmed sand bank at the end of the lake came leaping straight into martins face if we dont get over it shouted the irishman we wont have to chop this un to pieces eh the water beneath tlicm
