THE LURE OF DANGER
Some men seem to be irrisistibly attracted to enter
prises fraught with danger. And when the spirit of high
adventure gets into the blood, its craving is seldom satis
fied.
This phenomena is well illustrated in the case of
Charles Nungesser, the intrepid French aviator, who has
doubtless perished in a reckless attempt to cross the At
lantic under conditions which invited disaster.
During the World war, Nungesser was credited with
bringing to earth 45 enemy airplanes. Even before that
he had been the hero of many a daring exploit in South
America and elsewhere. His utter contempt of death
was shown over and over again. On each plane he flew
he had painted a skuull and cross-bones, a coffin and a
candle, a device which was borne by the fated White Bird,
the airplane which carried him and his companion, Coli,
to death.
In his latest and last adventure Nungesser discarded
his wireless set, collapsible lifeboat, landing gear and
other safety devices in order to reduce the weight of his
craft, staking all on the slender chance of covering more
than 3.000 miles in perfect flight. The odds were ten to
one against him and he was perfectly conscious of the
fact.
But the lure of adventure gripped him. He went to
his doom smiling and unafraid.
Judge by the score in the opening game of the Florida
Lynch League, Tampa bids fair to wind up at the tail end
of the second division.
Those two Arkansas men who killed each other in an
argument over a passage of scripture have probably got
it straight by this time.
Upon second look we are glad to note that it was
Whiskery, not whiskey, that won the Kentucky Derby.
Two babies born to flood refugee mothers at Forrest
City., Ark., recently were given appropriate though some
what unusual names. One is Overflow Johnson, the other
Highwater Jones.
