SEVENTY-FIVE HOURS
'Giant British Dirigible Landed Safelyat Pulliam, England, on
Sunday Morning, the Trans-Atantic Voyage Being
Practically Without Incident.
Pelham, Norfolk, England, July 13.
-Greet Britain's mammoth trans-
Atlantic airpioneer, the dirigible R-34,
arrived at the 'air station here at 6.56
o'clock, Greenwich mean time, to -div,
completing her round trip from the
British Isles to the United States and
return. The R-34 poked her nose out
of. the clouds northeast of this village
and, after circling the flying field
three times, glided gently . to the
ground, and ten minute's later was
housed in the dirigible shed. The
voyage from Long Island was with-
out• particular incident, and was com-
pleted in approximately 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-34
approached the field she dropped
froth a height of 5;000 feet to 2,000
feet. The men Who were to aid the
airshig in landing were ordered to
their positions 'and waited silently as
the ship circled the field, dropping
lower and lower.
"The voyage home has been with;
out incident," Major Scott said in
telling the story of the return flight.
"We estimated we e would make it
in from 70 to 80 hours," he said. "We
made it' in 75. When we left we had
a strong wind behind us, and we
covered the .first 800 miles in about'
eight hour's,' 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 engines.
"South of Newfoundland we en-
countered head winds, and our pro-
gress from, then on was slower, We
travelled,al; an average height of from
3,000 to 5,000 feet, and found much
low clouds of fog. Once we saw no-
thing but fog for- 24 hours.
"We .struck Ireland at Clifden, and
made good progress from there, al-
theugh our steering engine 'broke
down Saturday morning. We 'started
with 4,900 gallons of gasoline and
have 1,000 left."
