"You have hit it!" shouted Alfred in glee. "Now for the other bridge."
They were not as successful with the last structure, although three bombs were expended on it.
"Now, where is the flyer you saw?" asked the lieutenant.
"It went easy just before we reached the second bridge," said Alfred. "I don't see it now."
"Then I suppose we shall have to go to Longwy to find where it is," said the lieutenant. "Can you see the city beyond?" he continued, pointing to the north. "Go to the left of the city," he said through the tube.
"Why did you tell him to go to the left?" asked Alfred.
"In that way we can avoid the long range aircraft guns, which we know are mounted in the forts to the east of the town," was the reply.
They were soon on the northern side of the town, and in looking south they were surprised to see two machines, one making for the east and the other seeming to fly directly toward them.
"That fellow will be a little surprised when he finds what he has to deal with," said the lieutenant with a chuckle.
"It's a Fokker, isn't it?" shouted Ralph through the tube.
