"The best of luck." The whistles sounded. Almost immediately, as if by some uncanny means the distant gunners saw that the infantry were in motion, the strafe ceased. Overhead the seaplane still circled. The bomb-dropping part of their task completed the airmen lingered to watch the advance, and if occasion offered to assist the storming troops by means of their Lewis gun.
Smiths were at work on the well deck, with deafening din hammering and cutting steel plates with which to repair the Hitachi; mechanics were working at the seaplane, called the Wölfchen, which was kept on the well deck between her flights; prisoners were exercising on the poop, and the armed guards were patrolling constantly among them and near us on the well deck.
He couldn't take it to the whale or to the man with the seaplane. It wasn't addressed to them." One day Bob's father took Paul and Bob out fishing. They carried their bait in a tin can and they took a larger can to hold their fish. They stood on a high rock and threw their lines out into the deep water. The fish bit very well.

The instance of Major Woods, starting on his flight across the Atlantic, and forced to come down to the Irish Sea is one example.

Its engines had been carefully cleaned and tested, and yet they failed.
On the way back to the Ardmore home both the girl and her escort were silent for some time. Then, turning to her, Curlie asked: "Has this friend of your brother's Brightwood, did you say his name was? has he a seaplane?" "Is that an airplane which flies up from the ocean and lights upon it when one wishes it to?" "Yes." "He has one of those. Yes, I'm sure of it.
Nevertheless, most spectacular and convincing flights followed one another in rapid succession. The most outstanding of these flights was, of course, the first crossing of the Atlantic by seaplane a triumph of organized effort by the navy. At the same time all over the world flights took place with astounding frequency which illustrated, as little else could, the certain future of aviation.
When they cut him open they will find the bottle, and when they read our names they will know we are the boys who helped them get the great big whale." "Or," said Bob, "suppose the bottle goes out to sea and a man in a seaplane sees it and opens it. And suppose he comes flying to Fairport and when he lands here he asks where we are.
In spite of roaring propellers and my cramped bunk I slept excellently that night and did not waken until a sudden stopping of the two engines and a new motion of the seaplane brought me to consciousness.
The second German submarine was destroyed off Middelkerke, Belgium, on November 28, 1915, by a British seaplane, piloted by Flight Sub-Lieutenant Viney, and carrying a French officer, Lieutenant Count de Sincay, as an observer. German submarines having been reported in the vicinity, the aviators were ordered to patrol the coast with the object of watching for the enemy.
