Legend

A dozen towns in Tennessee with telegraphic service were alarmed by the news of the "loss" of Major General Patrick, happy warrior who serves as Chief of the Army Air Service. He had left Memphis by air at 5 o'clock of an evening and had not arrived at expectant Nashville. When he landed at Nashville at 7:55 next morning, the story came out. Darkness had come earlier than expected. The General saw a 500-acre field of young corn and decided to come to earth. It was hard by the hamlet of Eva. One Mrs. B. F. Holland gave him hot biscuits, supper, country style; shelter for the night. It is not recorded whether he was set to watch the biscuits, whether, like that famed cottage guest, King Alfred, he allowed them to burn, was boxed on the ears.
