One of the Germans suc- ceeded in seizing the village magfs- trate as a hostage, and while he kept his pistol at this official's head his conipanion repaired the motor. They then made the magistrate mount ithe aeroplane, which luckily was able to ascend with three pas- sengers, and sped away. Two other aviators, whosé ma- chine was wrecked when it care down, were dazed and stunned from their fall. Immediately they were at- tacked by a' gioup of French peas ants armed. with pitchforks and scy- thes. The Germans held those men at bay with their. revolvers untii they reached the dense woods, in which they hid: Peasants and sol diers hunted them systematically for days. 7 They spent anxious hours crouch: ing in holes like rabbits, while their pursuers fired shotguns and Into every suspicious thicket.'
