PARTY FOR GRADUATE
Rlain. Pa.. July 7.—A party was
given by Miss Anna Waggoner at
her home at Waggoner's Mill, in
honor of Dr. Basil Nelson, who
graduated in the class of 'l9, at the
University of Pittsburgh, in the pro
fession of dentistry and who has
been visiting his sister. Mrs. Ira
Neely, in Perry county. The even
ing was enjoyabl.v spent in games
and music. Refreshments were
served to twenty or more guests.
HOW IT HAPPENED
It was a case of collision between
automobiles, and the young lady
witness was undeniably beautiful,
says the Kansas City Journal.
"Have you any idea what caused
the accident?" asked counsel.
"I think so."
"State, what in your opinion,
caused the collision."
"Must I tell the truth?"
"You have sworn to do so."
"Well, I was standing on the cor
ner. This gentleman turned to look
at something and ran into the other
machine."
"What did he turn to look at?
"Must I answer?"
"You must."
"If I must," said the pretty wit
ness with a vivid blush, "he turned
to look at me."

': MONDAY EVENING,
VOYAGE OF
ACROSS ATLANTIC,
GREA T ADVENTURE
Incidents of Trip Chronicled by General Maitland Show
What a Gamble Against the Elements the-Crew of
the British Dirigible Faced
Mincola, Y., July 7.—Not in the
mere record of miles covered is to be j
found the real romance of the R-34's
aerial voyage to America. The full j
story of this great adventure, this j
gamble against the elements, is re- j
vealed only through the human in
cidents of the trip, chronicled in the
form of a log by Brigadier General
Edward M. Maitland, official observer
for the British Air Ministry.
The R-34 anchored here at Roose
velt flying field at 9:54 a. m. yester- !
day (1:54 p. m. Greenwich mean
lime) after an aerial voyage of lOS j
hours and 12 minutes which covered
5.634 miles.
Will Return To-morrow
General Maitland announced that j
the return trip would be begun at i
8 a. m., Tuesday, as the orders from I
the Air Ministry are to return as I
soon as the ship can be made ready.
Full supplies of petrol, oil, hydro
gen, food and water were ready at
the landing field and the work of
putting them aboard was begun al
most as soon as the dirigible was
anchored. The work was continued
through last night under the glare
of huge searchlights.
The story—a Jules Verne tale
come true —was written while the
giant dirigible was leaving the
ground at East Fortune, while it was
passing out of sight of land, while
it was battling its way across the
Atlantic and eluding electrical
storms in the northland, while it was ;
slipping safely down the short line
of I.ong Island to its anchorage at
Mineola.
It is an intensely human story, set
down in simple, unaffected style. But
it is doubtful if the greatest master
of English could paint a more vivid
picture.
Describes Men's Feelings
In it is described the feelings of
men starting on a great adventure —
cheerfully, confident in the face of
a hundred dangers. In it is des
cribed the courage of red-blooded
men lighting their way through an
ocean of cloud and fog. In it is
described the resolute during of men
calculating coolly just how much
fuel, already greatly shortened, they
could expend in dodging tempests
which might dash them to destruc
tion. In it is described the fighting
spirit of aerial adventurers com
batting to the last a situation which
might force them to call for assist
ance. But nothing is to be found in
the log of the great joy *hich must
have surged up in every man's heart
when they dropped anchor victori
ously—safe at the end of a 5.634-
mile voyage.
"When flying at night, there is
always a feeling of loneliness on
leaving the ground." reads an entry
made after the airship hardly had
taken the air, but it is followed al
most immediately by a description
of the first breakfast in the air,
which ends:
"Jn the adjoining compartment the
graphophone was entertaining the
crews with the latest jazz tunes."
Sleep ill Hammocks
Then comes an account of sleeping
in hammocks aboard a service air
ship, with a word of caution for the
unwary sleeper.
"There is only a thin outer cover
of fabric on the underside of the
keel on each side of the walking
way and the luckless individual who
tips out of his hammock would in all

A that somebody some time would
produce Tires and Tubes that
would leave no complaint as to costs.
You were right. That time has arrived.

ance and bringing down costs to the
lowest figures of economy.
Absolutely the biggest worth—in service
in mileage—ever offered Tire and
probability break right through this
and soon find himself in the Atlan
tic."
There follows a series of word
pictures of cloud formations, show
ing that, as in the case of Alcock
and Brown, the R-34 was at times
floating between two layers; of wire
less messages breaking through these <
cloud banks to bring cheer to the
adventurers; of meals cooked over
'exhaust pipes and engine repairs
made with chewing gum. of the dis
covery of a feline stowaway smug
gled aboard by a superstitious mem
ber of the crew —and then the fight
ing of ice fields and Newfoundland
with terse observations on aerial
navigation.
Instead of finding expressed at
this point exuberance of captain and
crew, it is remarked that the air
men think they would like to stop
at Newfoundland and Nova Scotia
some time for shooting and Ashing,
as the forests and lakes viewed from
the air hold promise of much game
and Ash.
Then comes a more anxious entry:
"The petrol question Is becoming
decidedly serious."
And again:
"For some little while past there
has heen distinct evidences of elec
trical disturbances."
Evade Tlinndorstorms
Then comes a description of two
thunderstorms successfully evaded
—"set down quite simply as they
occurred and more or less in the
form of a diary" as General Mait
land promised at the head of his
log.
The story of the Aight as entered
in the log follows in part:
"1:42 A. M. Wednesday, July 2.
The R-34 slowly arose from the
hands of the landing party and was
completely swallowed up in the low
lying clouds at a height of 100 feet.
When flying at night, possibly on
account of the darkness, there is
always a feeling of loneliness im
mediately after leaving the ground.
"The airship rose rapidly 1,500
feet, at which height she emerged
from the low lying clouds and head
ed straight up the Firth of Forth
toward Edinburgh.
"It should be borne in mind that
when an airship sets out on a long
distance voyage carrying her maxi
mum allowance of petrol she can
only rise to a limited height at the
outset without throwing some of it
overboard as ballast and that as the
airship proceeds on her voyage she
can. if so desired gradually increase
her height as the petrol is consumed
by the engine.
Anxious Hours
"An airship of this type when
most of her petrol is consumed can
rise to a height of about 14.000 fetet,
"For this reason the next few
hours were one of the most anxious
periods during the flight for Major
Scott, the captain of the ship, who,
owing to the large amount of petrol
carried (4,900 gallons weighing 15.8
tons) had to keep the ship as low
as possible and at the same time pass
over northern Scotland where the
hills rise to a height of-over 3,000
fCft.
"Time 6 A. M.. July 2.—Airship
running on four engines with 1,600
revolutions. Forward engine being
given a rest. Air speed 38 knots
land miles per hour made good 56.7
Course steered 298 degrees —north
62 degrees west course made good 39
degrees—north 71 west. Wind
northeast 15 1-3 miles per hour.
Height 1,500 feet. Large banks of
fleecy cloud came rolling along from
the Atlantic gradually blotting out
all view of the sea. At first wq were
above these clouds but gradually
they rose higher and we plowed our
way into the middle of them.
"Seven A. M.—Nothing but dense
fog estimated by Harris, the mete
orological officer, to go down to
within fifty feet of the water and up
to a height of about 5,000 feet.
"Suddenly we catch a glimpse of
the sea through a hole in the clouds.
"A few minutes later we find our
selves above the clouds, our height
still being 1,500 feet, and beneath a
cloudy sky with clouds at above 8,-
000 feet. We are therefore in be
tween two layers of clouds.
Breakfast Menu
"7.30 A. M.-—Breakfast in crew
space up in the keel consisted of
cold ham, one hard boiled egg each,
bread and butter and hot tea. We
breakfast in two watches, generally
about fifteen in each.
"Conversation during breakfast
reverted to recent flight up the Bal
tic and in the adjoining compart
ment the praphophone was enter
taining the crews to the latest Jazz
tunes, such as "The Wild, Wild Wo
men.'
"11 A. M. Wind Is east seven
miles per hour and so we are mak
ing good 40 miles per hour and rest
ing three engines.
"Cooke is now on the top of the
airship taking observations of the
sun, using the cloud horizon with a
sextant. The sun is visible to him
but not to us, the top of the ship be
ing eighty-five feet above us down
here in the fore control cabin.
"12 Noon. —Watch off duty turned
in for their routine four hours' sleep
before coming on for their next per
iod of duty—only two hours in this
case.
"The sleeping arrangements con
sist of a hammock for each of the
men off watch suspended from the
main ridge girder of the triangular
internal keel which runs from end to
end of the ship.
, "Getting into one's hammock Is
rather an acrobatic feut—preventing
oneself from falling out is a thing
one must be careful about in a serv
ice airship like the R-34. There is
only a thin outer cover of fabrlca on
the underside of the keel on each
side of the walking way and luckless
individual who tips out of his ham
mock would in all probability break
right through this and soon And
himself in the Atlantic.
"3.15 P. M.—Sea now visible at
intervals through the clouds—a deep
blue in color with a big swell on.
"Durant, the wireless officer, re
ports he has just been speaking to
St. John's. N. F., rather faint but
quite clear signals.
"4.30 P. M. —Still in fog and low
clouds and no sea visible.
"5 P. M.—Tramp steamer 'S. 8.
Ballygally Head outward bound
from Belfast, destination Montreal'
picked up our wireless on their Mar
coni spark set which has a range of
thirty miles only. She heard us but
didn't see us as we were well above
and completely hidden by the
clouds.
"They were very surprised and
most Interested to Mar we were R
-3 4 boupd for New York and wished
us every possible luck.
"1,30 P. M.—Messages were re

ceived from both H. M. S. battle
cruisers Tiger and Renown.
Get Wide View of Clouds
"Scott increases height to 2,000
feet and at this height we And our
selves well over the clouds and with
a bright blue sky above us. The
view is ah enchanting one —as far
as one can see a vast ocean of white ;
fleecy clouds. ending in the most i
perfect cloud horizons.
"6.40 p. m.—We have covered 610
sea miles measured in a direct line
in 17 hours at an average speed of I
86 knots or 40 milm per hour.
Depth of Atlantic at this point 1,-
500 fathoms.
"7 P. M.—The clouds have risen
to our height and we are now driv
ing away to them with no signs of
the sky above or the sea under
neath.
"8.30 P. M.—Scott decided to go
down underneath the clouds and in
creases speed on all engines to 1,800
revolutions to do so. Dark, cold and
wet in the clouds and we shut all
windows.
"We see the sea at 1,500 feet be
tween patches of cloud. Rather
b.umpy.
"We now find outselvee between
two layers of clouds, the top layer
1,000 feet above us and the lower
layer 500 feet below with occasional
glimpses of sea.
"9 P. M.—The sun is now setting
and gradually disappearing below
the lower cloud horizon. Course
steered 320 degrees. Course made
good 299 degrees. Air speed forty
four knots, speed made good fifty
five miles per hour.
"All through this first night in
the Atlantic the ordinary airship
routine of navigating, steering and
elevating, also maintaining the en
gines in smooth-running order, goes
on, watch and watch, as in the day
time.
"The night is very dark. The air
ship. however, is lighted throughout.
"8.30 A. M„ Thursday, July 3.
The clock has been put back an hour
to correct our time to Greenwich
meantime. Position—longitude 35,
degrees, 60 minutes west; latitude
53 degres north.
"We are well over half way be
tween Ireland and Newfoundland
and are back again on the great cir
cle route, having been slightly to the
south of it owing to the drift effect
of a northerly wind.
Chewing Gam Repairs
"2 P. M.—Slight trouble with star
board amidships engine—cracked
cylinder waterjacket. Shotter. al
ways equal to the occasion, made a
quick and _safe repair with a piece
of copper 'sheeting and the entire
supply of the ship's chewing gum
had to be chewed by himself and
two engineers before being applied.
"4.30 P. M. —We are now on the
Canadian summer route of steamers
bound for the St. Lawrence via Belle
Isle strait and over the well-known
Labrador current. There are already
indications of these cold currents in
the fog which hangs immediately
above the surface of the water.
"6 to 7 P. M.—We are gradually
getting further and further into the
shallow depression which was re
ported yesterday coming up from
the South Atlantic. For the last four
hours the sea has been rising and
now the wind is south southeast,
forty-five miles per hour. Visibility
only a half mile. Very, rough sea
and torrents of rain. In spite of this
the ship is remarkably steady.
"At 8 P. M. —Scott decides to
climb right through it and we evi
dently came out over the top of it
at 3,400 feet.
"8.30 P. M. —We have now passed
the center of the depression exactly
as Harris foretold. The rain has
ceased and we are traveling quite
smoothly again.
"9 P. M.—One of the engineers
has reported sick—complains of fe
verishness.
Find Cat on Board
"A stowaway has just been dis
covered. a cat smuggled on board by
one of the crew for luck. It is a
very remarkable fact that nearly
every member of the qrew has a
mascot of some description, from
the engineer officer who wears one
of his wife's silk stockings as a
muffler around his neck, to Major
Scott, the captain, with a small gold
charm called 'Thumbs Up.'
"4.30 A. M.—Friday. July 4.
Wonderful sunrise—the different
colors being the softest imaginable,
just like a wash drawing.
"7 A. M. —Height 1,000 feet.
Bright, blue sky above, thin fog
partly obscuring the sea beneath us;
sea moderate, big swell.
"The fog bank appears to end ab
ruptly ten miles or so away towards
the south where the sea appears to
be clear of fog and a very deep
blue.
"Standing out conspicuously in
this blue patch of sea we see an
enormous white iceberg.
"8.15 A. M. —Fog still clinging to
(he surface of the water—water evi
dently must be very cold. Extraor
dinary crimpy wave-like appearance
of clouds rolling up from the north
underneath it. Harris has never
seen this before.
Over Ice Field
"9 A. M. —We are now over a
large ice field and the sea is full of
enormous pieces of ice—small bergs
in themselves. The ice is blue-green
under water, with frozen snow on
top.
"A message reaches us from the
Governor of Newfoundland:
" 'To General Maitland, Officers and
Crew, R-34:
" 'On behalf of Newfoundland I
greet you as you pass us on your
enterprising journey.
" 'HARRIS, Governor.'
"12.50 P. M.—Land in sight.
First spotted by Scott on starboard
beam. A few small rocky islands
visible for a minute or two through
the clouds and instantly swallowed
up again.
"Altered course southwest to have
a closer look at them. Eventually
made them out to be the norhwest
coastline of Trinity Bay, Newfound
land.
"Our time from Rathlin Island—
the last piece of lund we crossed
above the north coast of Ireland—
to north coast of Trinity Bay, New
foundland, is exactly fifty-nine
hours.
Cross Newfoundland
"2.30 P. M.—We ar crossing New
foundland at 1,500 feet in thick fog,
which gradually clears as we get
further inland. A very rocky coun
try, wth large forests and lakes and
for the most part no traces of habi
tation anywhere.
"3 P. M.—Again enveloped in
dense fog. Message from H. M. K.
Sentinel giving us our position. We
are making good thirty-eight to
forty knots and heading for Fortune
Harbour.
"4.30 P. M—We have passed out
of Fortune Harbour, with its mag
nificent scenery and azure sea dot
ted with little white sailing ships,
and are now over the two French
islands, Miquelon and St. Pierre,
and steering a course for Halifax.
Nova Scotia. The French flag was
flying at St. Pierre and was duly
dipped as we passed ov6r.
"8.15 P. M.—Clear weather. Sea
moderate. Making good thirty miles
per hour on three engines. North

Nova Scotia. Just coming Into sight.
Lighthouse four flashes. We should
make Halifax 2.30 A. M. to-mor

"7 A. M. —Scott decided to turn
inland to avoid southwest wind

I Crossed roust at Goose Island, 1
j Country Harbour. Miles and miles
lof endless forests.
"10.20 A. M.—We are down as
low us 800 feet over huge- forests.
Lovely resinous smell of pines,
which we inhale with delight.
Petrol Question Serious
"12.30 P. M.—Lunch. The petrol
question has become distinctly seri
ous. Shotter has been totalling up
our available petrol resources with
anxious care. We have 500 miles to
go to New York and if we don't get
any wind or bad weather against us
will do it all right with two engines,
assisted occasionally by a third en
gine. We cannot afford to run all
five at once, owing to the petrol
consumption.
"Lieutenant Commander Lans
downe, United States Naval Airship
Service, sends signal on behalf of
FOUR Voyage of, last take.
R-34 to United States naval author
ities at Washington and Boston to
send destroyer to take us in tow in
case we should run out of petrol
during the night.
"The iiiea is we would then be
towed by the destroyer during the
hours of darkness and at dawn cast
off and fly to Long island under
our own power. Let us hope this
won't be necessary.
"It is now raining and foggy,
which is the kind of weather that
suits us now, as rain generally
means no wind.
"3.30 P. M.—For some little
while past there had been distinct
evidences of electrical disturbances.
Atmospherics became very bad and
a severe thunderstorm was seen
over Canadian coast, moving south
down the coast.
"Scott turned east off his course
to dodge the storm, putting on all
engines. In this, fortunately for us,
he was successful and we passed
through the outer edge of it. We
had a very bad time, indeed, and
it is quite the worst experience
from a weajther point of view that
any of us have yet experienced in
the air.
"During the storm some wonder
ful specimens of cumulo mammatus
were seen and photographed. These
clouds always indicate a very highly
perturbed state of atmosphere and
look rather like a bunch of grapes.
The clouds drooped into small fes
toons.
"7.30 P. M.—We are now in clear
weather again and have left Nova
Scotia well behind us and are head
ing straight for New York.
"Particularly fine electrical dis
turbance type of sunset.
"9.30 P. M. —Another thunder
storm. Again we have to change
our course to avoid it and, as every
gallon of petrol is worth its weight
in gold, it almost breaks our hearts
to have to lengthen the distance to
get clear of these storms.
"July 6. Sunday, 4 A. M.—"Sight
ed American soil at Chatham.
"4.25 A. M.—South end of Ma
honey Island. Scott is wondering
whether petrol will allow him to go
to New York or whether it would
not be more prudent to land at
Montauk.
"5.30 A. M.—Passing over
Martha's Vineyard, a lovely island
and beautifully wooded. Scott de
cided he could just get through to
our landing field at Haxelhurst
field, but that there would not be
enough petrol to fly over New York.
Very sad, but no alternative. We
