The only other incident of the trip worth noting happened when we saw a rocket flash in the sky, and stopping our machine, made out several aeroplanes, probably British, winging their way to Germany to give the Huns a taste of their own kind of warfare. A little later two planes came from the opposite direction. Kenamore listened to their motors and decided they were Huns, so we shut off our engine and lights and stopped in the shade of a tree until they had passed.
