In fact, had it not been for the unfortunate in cident of the rifle shots at the time of the first meeting, Beck might possibly have a speaking uc quaintance with the “devil.” Tt was about July 1, Beck nays —it’s hard for a prospector to keep’ track of the exact date—when he end Marion Smith had gone to the eprings for water, Smith was walk. ing ahead on the trail, and as they came to a precipitous piteh, Beck stood on the edge while Smith des cended.

Tho aviators went to a reception in thelr honor, attended by Minister of Aviation Eynac; they met and hob- nobbed for a while with their chief, General Pershing; they placed a wreath upon the tomb of the un. known soldier, and they wrote their names in the famous “book of gold” at the Hotel de Ville. All the time it was plain to see their thoughts were on the flight. “We are 19 days behind schedule,” Lieutenant Smith said speculat!: “Of course,” he added quickly, are not racing against time, but just to show the world the world can be flown, “And we've almost done it.” The modest, soft-spoken American commander said that he and his com- panions were looking forward to two weeks of real rest in London while their planes are fitted with pontoons for the Atlantic trip.
