Eight ghastly dum-dum wounds sufficed to kill ferocious Alcibiade Bebe in the space of a few seconds. Even quicker was the rabbitlike dive of the judge under his bench. Jurymen fled so precipitously that one slipped and broke an arm. A stray dum-dum bullet wounded, probably fatally, the distinguished correspondent of the great Italian daily Gionale d' Italia, Signor Adriano Del Vecchio...
...ball snaps from center, the quarterback takes it, wheels, and flips it to a halfback. The halfback draws back his arm and shoots and oval on an airline to an end far down the field. A frantic dive by the safety man, and a touchdown is averted by a scant four yards. The teams line up there is a line plunge and another, and a touchdown. The stands are rocking with excitement.

He and his companions waited during 15 minutes of flames for an explosion that never came. Heavy seas extinguished the fire which had gutted the engine room. Heavy seas tossed the Dornier-Napier and its passengers for the next twelve hours. They tried smoke signals which almost re-ignited the craft, sent by radio S. 0. S., false position...
