The noise of the whirring |motor for a moment drowned the |roar of the cataract, as the frail machine quivered in the air over the Great Gorge. Heading direct for the Horseshoe Falls, Beachey was soon lost in the spray and mist, and fears were expressed that the daring fellow had been sucked down into the awful torrent. Emerged Safely But a minute later he was seen to be battling safely in the air over the mist and spray clouds, as his machine slowly mounted higher and higher. Then when he had reached an altitude he swooped down into the Gorge again, skimming beneath the ar- ches of the upper steel bridge which was thronged with nervous sight-seers. Down the Gorge From there he swiftly flew down the whole length of the great gorge, skimming the surface of the rapids, until he reached the whirlpool. There he elevated his machine and mounted up to the Canadian side. Over 150,000 were present and witnessed the daring and death-defying feat.
