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

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." !

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. |
