In long sheds filled with betting machines men and women stood in line to put their money on the mud-horses-Distraction, Bonivan, Bobashela, Toro.

Diving through the clouds they "stumbled" on the Black Fleet anchored in Chiriqui lagoon off Bocas del Toro. Lieutenant Moon, one of the aviators, circled, counted the ships, and then descending, bombed the aeroplane carrier Langley, making three direct hits with ripe tomatoes. Within an hour the information was in the hands of the Canal Zone defenders. It was most disconcerting. The position of the enemy was supposed...
