At times we came to places where the river was so narrow there was barely room for the wings of the plane to scrape by. Then again it would open out and we would pass a village where men, women, and children would come running out of their thatched huts to jump into sampans and paddle along with us. So all the way during our twenty- five mile trip up the river to Hue we had an ascort of sampans, some- times only fifteen or twenty, and again as many as a hundred or sparkle in your eyes.

Les and I took the cushions out of the cockpits and rigged up com- fortable seats under the wing, where it was shady and fairly céol. Our greatest regret was that we hadn't a cemera. Every bend in the river revealed a different view that would have been worth photographing. And to see the Chicago come through that jungle propelled by naked pad- dlers in their queer shaped sampans was a sight in itself. Great Reception Committee. Our French friend had sent a courier in a’dugout canoe on ahead to Hue to warn the inhabitants that we were coming. So when we final- arrived the entire population was to meet us. Erik and Chevalier also arrived ahead of us by or. They had rounded up a com: | of Annamite soldiers to guard | the plane, which we beached under a bridge that looked like it would bs the best place for changing en- gines. It seemed to us that it would be a lot simpler to use the bridge and drop the new motor down from it rather than attempt to rip | up a derrick so far away from clvil- ization, % “The engine and our tools were so hot in the blazing sun there at Hue that we couldn't touch them until we got the plan in the shade beneath that brigde. But we were so worn out that we droped our work for the afternoon.” The experiences of at least one of the other airmen in getting that motor to Hue will haunt him as long as he lives. Leigh Wade remained in Tourane to see to it that no mishap occurred to the “Boston” and “New Orleans.” Nelson, Harding, and Chevalier rode in the automobile, while “Hank” Og- ad den got in the mtor truek with the engine. “The driver of that truck,” Ogden said to me, “turned out to be a reck- less fiend who cared nothing for his own life and less for mine. We lieft Tourone after dark, and as we sped along th road through the jungle the blackness was so neraly apaque that I couldn't tell what sort of country we were going through. But it felt as though we were making fully thirty miles an hour. And traveling at that rate fn a truck is enough to shake your heart right up into your larynx ever if you are engaged in the somewhat hazardous occupation of fiying around the world in an airplane. Wild Ride Through Jungle “Up and up and up we went. It seemed as though we must be as- cending Pike's Peak or Mount Ever- est. Occasionally I saw two balls of fire gleaming though the tree, and knew that it must be some wild animal. Finally we came to the top of the mountain range and started to coast dowg the other side. And didn’t we coast? I'll say we did! If we were ‘taking a mile an hour we were doing between forty and fifty. Sometimes we would buzz around @ corner on two wheels. If I had had a stick of dynamite I cer- tainly would have put it under that Annamite, and then driven the rest of the way myself. “Suddenly the bumping ceased. I felt as though I were riding in an airplané again. And sure enough, we had left the ground and taken off into the air, because a moment later we crashed into. some trees. Mr. Annamite had whizzed right off the road into the junple. It took us 30 minutes to disentangle the truck from the underbrush and get it back on the road. But even that taught him nothing. On we went as though shot from a cata pault. Fifteen minutes later and we jumped off the highway and landed against a pile of rocks. Next day when we returned I took parti- cular notice of this place and if it hadn't been for those rocks we would have shot right over a preci- pies feet into below. the Surely canyon a thousand the good Lord E.

Instead of continuing on the road that fool Annamite swerved off on to the railroad and we went bumping over bottom : of a place diagonally the ties. ‘The joltipg threw me from one end of the truck to the other and bounced another Annamite right out on the track. It took us another half hour to drag the truck back to the road. On Road Frequently. “We crossed a second range of mountains, and on our way down hill this time the brake-band broke. I had climbed into the seat with this wild-eyed native, hoping my pres en at his side might tend to re- strain him. This time he at least had brains enough to reach down and throw the engine in low gear But in doing so he let go.the steer- ing wheel and we left the road again. If it hadn't been for some trees I am sure we would be going yet, because there was a deep val ley right under us. My heart stop ped beating a dozen times during that wild ride. But this was not all “When we reached the next va! ley and I was just congratulating myself on being alive, we came to a lagoon over which the had be transported on a barge.

When we were right in the middle of the lagoon I noticed that the barge was sinking lower and lower. Examining the center of the thing, I saw that: it was filling up with water. When I called the attention of the Anna- mites to this they became popeyed with fright and immediately started to pole it back to where we had started from. We got there just in time. Had it taken 15 minutes long- the barge, truck and the new motor for the ‘Chicago’ would have gone to the bottom of the lagoon. “By this time the first streaks of dawn were showing through the co- er coanut palms, and the crew on the barge hallooed across the lagoon to their friends on the other side, who came over with another barge for us Record Time for Change. “When we got to Hue we easily located Smith and Arnold at the Mttle French hotel, and in a short time all were at work changing mo tors m the under side of the bridge where they had beached the there was a little track and a car on wheels.
