Well for him that his lesser self kept firm hold upon the wheel or maybe a few broken spars, tossing upon the waves, would have been all that was left to tell of a promising young aviator who, on a summer night of June, had thought he could reach the stars. Half-way across the dawn came flaming up over the Needles, and later there stole from east to west a long, low line of mist-enshrouded land.
