Ills thoughts drift Lack to a summer's night, And a girl not so long ego. Who shook her head, and firmly fcalct, "As lung as you're flying No," He tried to quit the bloomin' job And tl to the concrete trail.

But the wish carne bark for the frel of the tack, And the hag of the north bound mall. So hak he went to the big blue tent Bak to the long, black ride. He tilted her atlck, and banked her In She seemed to feel the gun. And voiced her wrath at the cinder path At the end of a perfect run. Three points touched, and he taxied In Up to the hangar rail: And he stretched a grin as they checked him In On tline' with the north bound mail.

A drlssllng rain waa falling. A near-by clock tolled eight. They watched the sky with an eager eye, For the north bound mail waa late. The rain beat down on the old tin roof; The hangar chief stood by Then the drumming tone of a motors drone Came from a misty sky. The beacon sent out Its wolcome gleam To the rider of the night, And he set 'er down on the soggy ground Up to a landing light.

They swap the mall, and shout K. And she roars and lifts her tall; Shes up again In the snow and rain On with the north bound mail. The dim, blurred llghtu of the city Loom In the space below: Their work Is done, but the mall goes on And on, through the blinding snow, The-raln Is freezing to her wings She seems to feel the weight But Itll soon be dawn, so she staggers on.

Out of 8alt Lake, Pilot O'Brien flew a course that led for an hour over and along the shores of Great Salt lake.
