IX DRYDEN, Ontario, - October 17th, 1230 = "The Phantom Sq gadron" (by 4 DE BOURLAIR) (Continued) After dinner Dick again went 0: ,Aerdrome and received plane which had been throughly overhauled and: polished up. He pay- =d the mechanics and climbed into the cockpit," As he rose into the 'air, he turned the nose of his plane westward, towards home. Every- thing went well, until off the coast Suddenly Dick sighted a number of tiny specks low down in the sky, and as they approached, Dick saw that it was an American airplane squadron. Seeing Dick, gave chase. Dick flew a fast plane and he realized that discretion was better than valour, so he threw the throttle wide open and the plane swept forward towards Aden, He couldn't gain much and when he had to slowed down on account of engine trouble, the Yankee planes forged ahead.: - Suddenly as they came within range, a burst of bul- lets ripped from the leader's gun End Dick's altimeter and speedo- meter ceased to function. In front of him, Dick could isee Aden and he breathed a sigh of relief, but the Yanks still held on and were rapid- ly drawing nearer. = He felt dizzy and was conscious of a stinging pain in his shoulder, his plane was just a bundle of rags around the engine. Then his already faltering engine | stopped dead, but the aerodrome was scarcely a mile ahead of him, Just as he thought the next burst of bullets would finish him, he heard | the 'welcome boom of anti ' aircraft guns as a shell screamed just past him and: exploded above the Ameri- cans who turned back, realizing | that they could do no more damage. Dick landed just as he dropped into unconsciousness. Dick woke to find himself in bed with his head aching painfully As he Tooked around, he saw that he was in a 'small room while outside sounded the roar of high-powerad motors . and through the window he could, see the aerdrome with planes taking - off or landing all the time. Just then the door opened and 2 man appeared, "How are you feeling now?" he asked, "You were pretty well knock- ed about." "Fine," answered Dick, "except for a bit of a headache, 1 arrived Rete just in time." - Commander Richards was: a short well-dressed man in breeches, leg- gings and a flying helmet. "You'll be able to fly hom, in a few days," he said, "The. government Will sup- ply you with a plane, I suppese you havn't heard about tha Phant- om Squadron yet?" "No," replied Dick, "It's a pirate aeroplane squad-' wn' continued Mr Richards. "The papers say that it is silent and invis- able, but I think they must exagger- ate. It flies for Britain and makes vaids against Yankee squadrons us well as bombing along the American coast, It is certainly a mystery and' no one has ever seen the Squadron.' "Sounds interesting," replied Dick "It's a pleasant mystery anyway, as long as it flies for Britain." Two days later, Dick again stap- ted home and reached London with- out mishap, | ® "Well," said Major Benson, as Dick entered headquarters: , "Hav, you found anything out about col- onel Lockhart?" ' "No," replied Dick, "I've done all (Cont'd. on page two) Ty Teachers Institute, Convention The Annual Convention of the Kenora Teachers' Institute here on Wednesday, and some one ;hundred and five teachers of 'district assembled to participate in a very interesting program. The session was opened by the singing of "O Canada," while the opening exercise was conducted by! the Rev, J. W. Howes, of the Dry-. den United Church. The delegates were then warmly welcomed by Mayor Wood, who wished the teachers both a pleasant and profitable stay in Dryden. He discussed in a very pleasing man- ner how education had been carried and improved since our forefathers. Mr George Wice, chairman of the School Boartl, welcomed the teach- ers, and hoped they would enjoy their stay in Dryden, The minutes of last year's con- vention were read by Mr Jefferson, secretary, and were adopted as cor- rect by the convention. The president, Miss Hassard de- livered a very pleasing address. She remarked on the number of new 'teachers this year, and also on the progress of education. Mr Washington, of Ignace, gave a very interesting talk on Germany. A more detailed account of which we hope to print later.
