PAGE EIGHT THE MONITOR, JUNE 26, 1918 GIVES LIFE TO , GUARD SECRETS Flyer Wrecks Disabled Machine as German Flotilla Ap proaches Airplane. 4 ORDERS OBSEBTO ESCAPE Pilot Deliberately Blows Himself and His Craft to Pieces With Bomb to Evade Capture by Huns. LoDdon. British aviators and me chanics sometimes are compelled to destroy their own machines to prevent the Germans, from obtaining a jeal ously guarded secret about the new type of airplane. Occasionally it is necessary for the aviator to sacrifice his own life together with his air plane. Such an Instance is described in an official report of a brave avia tor, who deliberately blew himself and the airplane to pieces with a bomb to evade capture by a German flotilla of destroyers. There were two men, the pilot and his observer, In one of the latest fly ing boats the British makers have turned out. They had got well out to sea when a fog suddenly cut them off from the rest of their companions. The pilot headed for home, but a few sec onds later the engine "died" and the pilot brought the boat to rest on the water. He climbed up to the engine to see if he could make good the de feet. A glance showed him that only a repair shop and a squad of expert mechanics could hope to make the en gine run. His face was slightly more grave when he climbed down to the hull. "Are you going to make the works go around again, daddy?" asked the observer. Machine Can't Be Fixed. "Can't be done, my son," said the pilot. "We shall have to wait on some one coming to pick us up." "I suppose the fog will lift soon and give our chaps a sight of us. Wake me up before they come," and snuggling still further down into his seat, the observer went to sleep. The night drew on. The pilot sat up on the deck combing, and listened intently for the slightest sign of ap proaching rescuers, while behind him down in the cockpit ' slept the boy, dreaming of home. With the coming of the morning the fog lifted and the observer glanced eagerly over the shadowy waters. Far on the horizon was a little black smudge growing steadily In size, and behind it another smudge, and anoth er. It was a patrol flotilla fast ap proaching them. "It is German, my son," said the pi lot. "Is your life belt on securely?" "Yes." "Well, get over the side and swim as hard as you can." "But don't you want me to help " His Privilege to Die. "Get over the side," said the pilot curtly, and there was that ltf his voice which made the junior man instantly obey. "Good-by, sonny," he added, as the observer slipped Into the water. "It is my privilege, you know." About 200 yards away the observer paused and looked back at the disa bled plane. The pilot was crouching on the top of the wing underplane, just above the bomb rack, with a heavy spanner in his upraised hand heady to strike a blow. A mile away the first German destroyer was tear ing the sea In twain in nervous haste to save the coveted trophy and get away before the appearance of the dreaded British patrol. The observer turned and swam away from the tra gedy which he knew was about to hap pen. There came the roar of a mighty ex plosion. He heard the swish of the air blast along the surface waters and the rush of the approaching wave from the sea disturbance. ' The wave en gulfed him just as he began to hear the splash and patter of the falling debris, and in the blackness of its heart his senses swam Into uncon sciousness. He was still sobbing de lirious when the British patrol boat picked him up an hour later. YANK COOKS ROUSE FRENCH Amazed by Extraordinary Mixture, Salmon, Mashed "Spuds" and Pickled Cucumbers. Faris. At last a French correspond ent has found a weak spot in the American expeditionary force. The man who has ventured to strike this first discordant note is the special rep resentative of Le Temps at the French front, who happened to be near the American section, which had the first real fight with the enemy and so paid them a visit. He writes : "There are certain practical points In which our allies are not yet past masters, notably cooking. At first scorning their own stews, they pre ferred to stick to canned meat entirely. "Our cooks showed them how to make soup, and they soon acquired a taste for it. It won't be long before they will be making some good stuff themselves, better any way than the extraordinary mixtures I saw them eating this evening, like canned sal mon with mashed potatoes and pickled cucumbers I" GLOVER GLEANING!
