'I.'hie liner was carrying a number
of valuable foxhounds from Liverpool

"When the vessel was crossing' tete

was exercised as usual round the deck
and then tied up on the after -deck.
"About. 8 a.m. she was missed.
"A search was made, but the hound
could not be found, and it was con-
cluded that she must have slipped. her
collar and been lost overboard.
"When the loss was reported to the
captain half an hour later, he turned
Itis ship round and steamed back the'
estimated distance travelled since the
mishap, plus an extra anile.
'The hound was not sighted and tate

Three -Hour ock:-'t Atlantic w
Madrid. --Prince Alfonso of Spain,
cousin of the King and veteran aviator
—he has flown longer and more than
any other member of a royal family—
predicted to the Associated Press in
an exclusive iut.erview that before
very many years passengers and mail
may be rocketed, across the Atlantic
in three hours.
Prince Ablonso, whose Spanish title
is Infante of Orleans and Bourbon,
was a passenger on the Graf ZepPe-
v
p
liu's recent flight to South and North
America—the first of his rank to cross
tate Atlantic by air.
"The dirigible has added much to.
man's, conquest of the skies," he said,,
"and for the'next few years it would
seem that lighter -than -air craft have
an advantage over planes for long
hops.
• "But I believe that the time will
Colne, and perhaps not so far distant,
when rocket flights will be made be-
tween Europe and America in three
hours;"
The Infante was the first latropean
Prince to fly. He began learning 20
years ago in France, and since 1910
has almost daily been in the air. He
was one ot the organizers of tate Span-
ish Army Aerial Service, in. which he
carries the grade of Director of Train-
ing.
Dr. Hugo Eckener's skill in assem-
bling weather reports while flying, and
charting his course .accordingly, was
to hint the most impressive aspect of
the Zeppelin's flight to the Americas.
"Dr; Erkener can smell wind!" ho
exclaimed admiringly. "Itis weather,
intuition is uncanny, but the flight
could tot have been made without the
remarkably efficient s•ystent of weath-
er reports, received on the an shin by,

those reports, and the shifting and
ehnnging• of his course to dodge this •
or that unfavorable, weather situation.

and it was to observe this more than
anything else that, I made this Zeppe-',
