off the gasoline and started a steep
volplane.
The rush of air fanned the flames,

for life. Tongues of fire swept under
the passenger seat and Fellows drew

Plzey held the wheel in firm grasp,
although the flames scorched his hands,
and succeeded in making a splendid
landing. The men practically escaped
