THRILLING Sj OF AIRMEL AGAIN! Mineola, X. Y., July 6.?Not merely in the record of miles covered is to be found the real romance of the R-34's aerial voyage to America. The full story of this great venture, this gamble against the elements, is revealed only through the human incidents of the trip, chronicled in the form of a log by Brig. Gen. Edward M. Maitland, official observer for the British air ministry. The story?a Jules Verne tale come true?was written while the giant dirigible was leaving the ernund at East Fortune, while it was c- - T 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 shoreline of Long Island to its achorage at Mineola. Intensely Human Story. It is an intensely human story, set ^ down in simple, unaffected style. 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 described the courage of red blooded men fighting their way through an ocean of cloud and fog. In it is described the resolute daring of men calculating coolly, just how much fuel, already greatly shortened, they could expend in dodging tempests which might ' dash them to destruction. In it is described the fighting spirit of aerial adventurers combating to the last a sitcall for assistance. But nothing is to be found in the log of the great 1 ? *1 tv iri joy wliicii must nave smgeu yy iu. every man's heart when they dropped anchor victoriously safe at the end of a 3,600-mile voyage. Flying at Xlght. "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 almost immediately by a description of the first breatfast in the air, which ends: rV*"In the adjoining compartment the graphophone* was entertaining the crews with the latest jazz tunes." Then comes an account of sleeping in hammocks aboard a service airship, with a word- of caution for the unwary sleeper. "There is only a thin outer cover of fabrics on the underside of the keel on each side of the walking way and the luckless individual who tips out of his ham; mock would in all probability break ' right through this and soon find himself in the Atlantic." Word Pictures. There follows a series of word pic( tures of cloud formations, showing as ' . in the case of Alcock and Brown, the R-34 at times floating between two layers; of wireless messages breaking through these cloud banks to "bring cheer to the adventurers; of mpals cooked over the exhaust pipes and engine repairs made with chew, ing gum; of the discovery of a feline stowaway smuggled aboard by a superstitious member of the crew and then sighting the ice fields and New Foundland, with terse observations on aerial navigation. True Sportsmen. Instead of finding expressed at this point exuberance of the captain and crew, it is remarked tnat the airmen think they would like to stop at New Foundland and Nova Scotia sometime for shooting and fishing, as the forest and lakes viewed from the air hold promise of much game and fish. Then comes a more anxious story: "The petrol question is becoming Politeness Pays. A bright-eyed little boy in a sailor suit saluted the occupants of a passing motor car so quaintly that they stopped to give him sixpence. "" - ?1.**. " " I OU re very punie, inuc iciivv?, the lady motorist said. "Do you salute all the strangers who pass in the same way?"' "No, no, ma'am, only motorists," the boy stammered, fingering his sixpence nervously. "Father says I'm to be polite to them, because motor cars bring him trade." The lady seemed disappointed. "What is your father's trade, my little man? Does he repair motor \ cars?" "No, ma'am; he's an undertaker," was the little fellow's response.?Tit Bits. Internal Warfare. Johnny was feeling peevish, and it was most unusual for him to be out of sorts. Mother was anxious to know what the matter was. "I?I feel awful inside!" groaned Johnny. "What do you think it is?" asked mother. "Oh," wailed Johnny, "I had French peas and German sausages at auntie's yesterday and now they seem to be fighting along my whole front." ! rORY f'S GAMBLE ST ELEMENTS I decidedly serious." And again: "For some little while past there has been j distinct evidences of electrical dis- \ turbances." Then comes a description of two j thunderstorms successfully evaded? "set down quite simply and more or; less in the form of a diary.'' as Gen. j .Maitland promised at the head of his log. | I Your I f ^ May need charging or in; ^ keeping up the battery. ^ may be worn out and you A the generator, recharge t A a uew battery, I have it A prices.
