I reach the pasture where my ship is situated. When I tune up the motor, the sound is very sweet and gratifying. I ascend into the cockpit. I take off, and everything is very nice and unusual. I fly straight, and I have only a little trouble keepin’ the wings level and the nose on the horizon. Then, after a couple of miles, I try to turn around, and I get tangled up in my efforts to work the controls correctly.

The nose of my crate goes down; the wires and struts creak and grunt. If it were not for the Guardian Angel, I should be reminded of a funeral in which I am going to be the corpse; for I am almost a thousand feet in the air now, which would be all right if I was convinced that the wings did not plan to fall off or nothing.

Abrupt and contrary, my luck turns awful bad. It must be the strain of all tlie crazy twists my ship is going through while I try to straighten her out, because all at once I see a jet of gasoline spraying out around the motor. The gas smells very sweet, and makes rainbow colors in the sunshine; but this does not help me to patch up the fuel-line, which has broken itself.
