Soon after daybreak yesterday, 400
men stationed at the airdrome were
roused, from sleep to prepare for the
landing1 of the transatlantic voyager.
Lookouts took position in towers and
wireless operators prepared to pick up
messages from the airship. The sun
rose bright, but soon afterward was
obscured by clouds. There was no wind,
nnd those on watch were confident that
the dirigible would arrive on time.

ordered to their positions and waited
silently as the shin circled tbe field,
dropping lower and lower.
Whi'u Mnjor O. II. Scott, her com
mander, had maneuvered the airship
into position for the landing, the water
ballast was thrown overboard to steady
her and a rope was thrown from the
bow. The ropo was grasped by eager
hands nnd the giant ship moved gently
across the field to the shed, where the
delicate operation of berthing her was
completed quickly without accident.
The tired, unshaven but smiling
men who composed her crew quickly
climbed from the gondola nnd were
greeted wnrmly and with many slaps

"We estimated we would make it In
from seventy to eighty hours," he said.
"We made It in seventy -live. When
we left we had a strong wind behind
us and we covered the first 800 miles
in about eight hours. When we circled
over New York we could plainly see
the crowds on Broadway waving to us
as we passed, but we could not hear
them because of the noise of the en
gines. "South of Newfoundland we encoun
tered head winds nnd our progress from
then on was slower. We traveled at
an average height of from 3000 to C000
feet and found much low clouds and
fog. Once we snw nothing but fog for
twenty-four hours.
"We struck Ireland nt Clifden and
made good progress from there, although
our steering engine broke down Satur
day morning. We started with 4800 gal

"We nre naturally pleased with the
trip, all of us. I expect important
changes in the size and speed of future
airships, big fchltis that will travel sev
enty to eighty miles nn hour and power
ful enough to crawl through anything."
"This has been a great trip," said
Colonel AV. N. Hensley, Jr., of the
I'nited States army air service, as he
climbed out of the car nnd shook hands
with the British officers. "We were
lost one whole day because the fog was
so thick wc could not get n shot at the
sun. moon, stars or horizon. But wc
worked out of it nnd struck the Irish

was the bright moon : below, soft, fleecy
clouds, touched with all the colors of
the rainbow, nnd far down below oc
casionally could be seen the dark, deep
blue of the sea. But we did not hnve
time to admire the beauty of the
scene.
"We soon passed over Liverpool nnd
then other cities and owns, and here
we nre. We suffcrec no hardships and
no inconveniences, except thnt wc hud
no hot water Tor shaving. Our eggs
