Then, when both had taken off, the Director of Civil Aviation manœuvred them in the air much as the single-seater fighters of the Royal Air Force are now moved to order at the annual. display. Next one machine came in, and Captain V. H. Baker, the chief instructor, using his colleague, Mr. Winsor, as the pupil, took the microphone and ordered the Moth about. He took liberties, in spite of the wind, and ordered "Fly straight, dive at the tower," and Mr. Winsor, a storm-tossed speck in the sky, came diving down. Still he came on, and Capt. Baker next said: "You are going to hit the tower, left turn," and away swung the Moth on a wide circle. "Now come

This was Lubum bashi, who followed them faithfully when all the other coolies fell away from the fear of wild animals and the lack of water.
