hoodoo that trailed Martin Jensen,
from the time he took off yester
day in an attempt to break the

and rain he faced all day and
night, cultimating in a series of
petty annoyances, caused him to
give up the attempt.
A minor break in the gasoline
pipe, the breaking of the ther
mostat, and bad weather, caused
him considerable annoyance but
when a gallon earthen jug of wrater
crashed to the floor of the cabin
sending fragments of the jug into
his eyes, he decided he had enough.
