Excerpt from Glorious Exploits of the Air

They lunched a deux, in a cabin hung about with quaint trophies reminiscent of all quar ters of the navigated globe, waited upon by a silent-footed, respectful marine. When the good things had been cleared away, a box of corona-corona was produced, and over their delightful fragrance they grew confidential. The captain, who wore on his breast a long string of decorations, honours of a grateful country, with an experience of men and matters that dated back many years, devoured the stories of this child Of the skies with the eagerness and impetuosity of a midshipman. They were wonderful matters of the air that were herein related. And the visit closed with a mutual promise of correspondence which has never since re lapsed.
