MY ESCAPE FROM DONINGTON HALL
CHAPTER I
THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF A FLYING-MAN
IT was in the month of August of the year 1913 when I arrived in my native town, Schwerin. I had stayed several weeks in England, where I had devoted days to the visit of museums and the beautiful art collections, as well as to excursions in the vicinity of the capital. At that time I did not foresee how useful the latter would prove to me two years hence.
