   a- Mr. Forepoynte Seyvenne invented an electric land torpedo - he persuaded some military big wigs to come & see what it could do.
   b- when he presse the button & paid out the steering gear, it certainly mowed down a dummy company in a most workmanlike style.
   c- But, suddenly something jammed !
   d- The steering wire broke, and, in a moment. V.Cs & D.S.Os were flying for their lives as they never flew before.
   e- Finally in ran a muck in the camp of the South Sea 'ighlanders, just missing a transport mule - which, however, proved equal to the occasion.

Condition is Very Good.
