The contortions I then undertook must have awakened the admiration of my three pursuers! At odd moments 1 would try to admire their extraordinary adroitness in handling their machines, for the heavens saemod quite crowded wtih those three dancing Fokkers.

He was 3 miles above the earth and his companions had flown on without no- ticing what had happened to him—they | would have been powerless to help him if they had. The flaming death which had claimed so many war-time fiyers i had tapped him on the shoulder and he was dorie with life—or. at least, that | was the Jogical conclusion for his mind to accept.

Sewell instinctively twisted out of range of the German bullets, although he could see that the whole length of his fuselage was now ablaze. Still the German bullets ripped through the fall- ing ship and Sewell dodged and dove away from his pursuer, turning his ship “He had a lot of fun testifying against me Watch him when I take the stand against him.” Hickman de- clared.
