On Saturday afternoon, Capt Jones took the machine up to test the radio equipment in the obser- ver's cockpit. It was in the air for 27 minutes and gave every satisfaction, responding easily to the controls.
The serend flight was for six minutes and was also satisfactory.
But the third flight was the last. Having circled the drome, the pilot flew close to the hills at the side of Kai Tak before turning towards the 'drome and harbour.
Ilalf the distance had been cover-

He gave the plane full gun, and although his speed was rising to 80 miles an hour, he was falling

A ramshackle Chinese dwelling leamed ahead, the roaring propellor striking it first and scattering the mat roof for fifty yards in all directions.
The undercarriage was badly damaged by this first impact, but the occupants of the 'plane were still unhurt.
A new danger, however threaten- ed. Ahead was the embankment along which the road to the 'drome is built. A decision had to be made in less than a second, and Capt. Jones made the right decision. He crashed his 'plane on the soft ground instead of colliding head on with the solid wall.
The landing was a good one, but the ground was alternatively sod den and bumpy. The big wheels struck a bad patch, and the tail rose high in the air plunging the nose in the ground. For a moment It stayed in that position then fell back on an even keel.

Pearson's voice interrupted her thoughts. She said, "I'm sorry but I'm afraid I wasn't listening." Ife said, "Won't you dance this me with me?"
