It was agreed that all officers and men were to attend (no flying was possible that day) and that Maurice should make a speech, after which he was to cut the end of a cigar with the saw, then a box was made with a glass front in which the cigar was to be placed after the A.D.C.had smoked a little of it, and the box was to be hung in the mess of the squadron.

It was all a great success.

Maurice made a splendid speech.

We all cheered, and then the cigar was cut (to bits nearly).

Maurice smoked a little, and it was put safely in its box.
