“Paris Control ? Paris Control ? Can you hear me ?” There was no answer. The radio was dead too. I had no radio, no compass, and I ; could not see where I was. I was lost in the S storm. Then, in the black clouds quite near me, I saw another aeroplane. It had no lights on its wings, but I could see it flying next to me through the storm. I could see the pilot’s face – turned towards me. I was very glad to see another person. He lifted one hand and waved.
“Follow me, ”he was saying. “Follow me.”
“He knows that I am lost,” I thought. “He’s trying to help me.” He turned his aeroplane slowly to the north, in front of my Dakotaf so s that it would be easier for me to follow him. I was very happy to go behind the strange aeroplane like an obedient child.
