Faster & faster the bag dropped until a ground wind caught it, dragged it across the town of Valley Stream. As Bonette & camera dropped safely upon the roof of a lumberyard, the bag fouled a telephone pole, spilling out such an enormous belch of black smoke that scared villagers thought the town was afire...
