until I had attained the dizzy speed
of eighty miles per hour. Tho geese
wore approaching very swiftly and
with great noise. The roar of their
wings was deafening. I was riding

Decreasing my speed to about 'stoen
miles per hour I waited for the geese
to fly over me. At last the leader
sailed over me and then the air was
