CHAPTER XVII

MY OWN REMINISCENCES OF THE ATLANTIC FLIGHT

I Wait for News—The Americans Start—I Hear Harry has Started—And

I Put out the Flags—No News Next Morning—Fate is Unkind and

Brings a False Report—Which, Contradicted, Delivers a Paralysing

Blow—No Further News—“All Hope Abandoned”—Good

News—Peace of Mind Once More—Everybody Happy—The King Telegraphs

Congratulations—I Go to Meet Harry at Grantham—Harry’s

Triumphal Progress to Grantham—Together Once More—Harry Rides a Horse

through London—“Escape” from the R.AeC.—Celebrations at

Ham—Fireworks at Hook 253
