I got into a deadly one yesterday afternoon, just across the line at Mill Hill. 61 saw you, replied my friend Teddy A shton, a fellow-aviator and chum at Hendon. It gave me a nasty moment. You had engine-trouble at the same time. Yes, I replied. I was up over eight thousand feet when, without a seconds warning, I found myself in a pocket spinning over. Phew !I fever I nearly came to grief, it was at that moment! I was on the lawn, having tea with Betty, and we were watching you. I quite expected to see you come plumb down, Teddy said. You righted your old bus splendidly.
