That winter probably ttands next to the spring of 1927 when Lind- bergh flew to Paris, as the most thrilling ot his life. Sensational Escape 1t was on the night of September 16, 1028, that Lindbergh took off from Lambert Field, St. Louis, with the night mail for Chicago. Twenty mwiles beyond Peroria, 11, he en-| ‘holt and was playing it down toward the top of the fog when ] heard the |plune's engine pick up. When I jumped it had practically stopped dead and I had neglected to cut the !switches. Apparently when the ship |nosed down an additional supply of 'gnsolmo drained to the carburetor. Soon she came into sight about a quarter ot a mile away headed in the general direction of my parachute. “I put the flashlight in a pocket of my flylng suit preparatory to slip- ping the parachute out of the way, It necessary.

I placed the rip cord in my pocket and took out my flashlight. “It was snowing and very cold. For the first minute or so the para- chute descended smoothly, then com- menced an excotsive osclllation which continued for about five min- | utes and which I was unable to check. “The first indication that I was near ground was a gradual darken- ing of the space beélow. The snow had turned to rain and aithough my chute was thoroughly soaked, its oscillation had greatly decreased. I directed the beam of ‘he 500-foot spotlight downward but the ground appeared so suddenly thzt I landed directly on top of a barbed wire fence without seeing it. The fence helped to break my fall and the barbs did not penetrate my heavy flying suit. The chute was blown over the fence and was heald open for some time by the gusts of wind be- fore collapsing.” Looks For His Plane Lindbergh folded his parachute and started in search of his plane. He was unable to find it until the next day, when he located it from another plane, within a quarter of a mile of the place where he landed. None of these experiences seemed to daunt Lindbergh. He said little re- and had no idea what kind of terti- [ garding them. They gained slight at- fention, compared. to their dramatic :alities. He would come in from a night of fighting the winter storms, urst into the cottage where he and his companion fliers lived, and turn was, himself to reading on Scientific sub- | jects, to practical jokes or a demand He found | for food. the wreckage of his plane two miles | He was a hearty eater.

By the time Marseilles, 1ll., was passed this fog blanket from an altitude of 600 feet entirély obscured the earth. He attempted to fiy undec it, but ¢ovld not, and a flare which he drop- ped hoping to determine a safe lhnd- ing place by its light, failed to work. He proceeded on to ths Maywood fiying field, the air mail station for Chicago, but the fog was o thick he could not locate it. He then set out to pick up, it he could, the beacons ot the Transcontinental air route, but this also was impossible. At last his fuel ran low. He had enough left for seven minutes flying. There was nothing left for him to do but to abandon the planz in the parathute—although he could see the ground.
