Puiliam, Norfolk, England, July :
Groat lrit ainl's mamlmoth. I ranis-Atlan
tic air pioncer, the dirigible iZ-:3l, i
rivedl here at 6:56 o'clock, Greenwich
mecan ttime, today completing her round
trip froin the British Isles to the
United State,s and return.
The R-3 I poked her nose out. of
the clouds northeast of the village
and aftei circling the flying field
three times, glided gently to the grounild
and ten minute.v later was housed in
the dirigible shed. The voyage from
Long Island was without particiular in
cliiit and was con)pleted in approxi
mately 75 hours.
Shouts from those on the field greet
ed the first sight of the long gray body
low on the horizon. As the R-3.1 ap
proached the field, she dropped from a
height of 5,(100 feet to 2,000 feet. Tie
men who wore to aid the airship In
landing were ordered to their positions
and waited silently as the ship eir
cled the field, dropping lower and low
er.
When Nlajor G. II. Soett, her eg
mander, had 'maneuvered the airsh
a1to position for the landing, the wa
er ballast was released to steady her
and a rope was thrown from the bow.
The rope was grasped by eager hands
and the gianI ship moved across the
-leId to ihe shed wlhIre the delicate
operation of herithing hIer was com
pleted(l quickly without accident...
A muilitaly hand stationed ol the
field plhiyedl "Tho Call of l)tIt" as tl
airship began to settle and then
changed Ito he strains of "Seo, The
Conqueri ng Ittro Comes." As tie
ship was warped into tIe shed the
hand played "Keep [Ih-- Ilome Firues
ring."' 'lho crowd was too intent
in watching the shi101o not ice I Ie
music, while 1thv whirr of the propel
lors made it inaidible to the men in
-ihe R-3-.

"The voyagle Iomle has been with
out Ineidenlt," Said M\ajor, Scott. "We
want breahast."
After breakfast, aild while enjoying
the belated luxury of his little black
pipe, smoking not being permitted on
the airsiip. .lajor Scott. told the story
of the return flight as follows:
. "We estimated we wotId make it In
from 70 to 80 hours," he said. "We
made It in 75. When wo left we had
a strong wind behind its and we cover
ed the first 800 miles in about eight
hottrs. When we circled over New
York we could plainly see the crowds
on Broadway waving to us as we pass
ed, but we could not hear them be
cause of the noise of the engines.
"South of New Foundland we en
cotintered head winds and .Our pro
gress from 'then on was slower. We
travelled at an average height of from
3.000 to 5,000 feet and found much low
clouids and fog. Once we saw nothing
by fog for 21 hours. .
"We struck, Ireland'at Clilfdlen and
nade good progress from there al

down Saturday morning. We started
with 4.900 gallons of gasoline and had
1.000 left.
