 Prince Henrys satisfaction at the great flight was unbounded and he gave expression to It in telegram which he sent to the emperor: Under Zeppelins guidance 1 felt just as safe as on my own flagship"
 Capt. Mlschke also was a passenger when the start was made, in the dlrec- ton of Uberlingen, to the northward of Constance. With Count Zeppelin himself at the wheel, the airship rose to an altitude of 500 feet, and moving rapidly against q strong wind soon disappeared behind a bank of clouds. Soon messages began to arrive from the towns in the Rhine valley an- nounclng the passage of the airship but about o'clock in the afternoon a sonorous sound from the sky indIcat- ed that the craft was returning. Soon 1t appeared above the thronged streets of Constance where the prince saluted in ackpowlpdgmant of the ovation from the cheering crowds below
 After maneuvering above Lake Constance In full view of the city for some time the airshlp made It's way towards the Swiss frontier disappear ing in the direction of Tyrel It re- turned to its moorings about sunset 1 Captain Mischke said that the prince was anxious to remain for a few more flights but that he was uncer- tain whether his engagements would permit The prince expressed him i self as astonshed to find that the lengthy body of the airship showed only the slightest vibration. He re. garded the vertical steering gear a' simply perfect
 It had been originally intended tc
 make a flight of only three hours ano ! the royal family expected the prince ! to lunch at 2 o'clock, but the prince | was SO charmed with his successful ' aerial flight that he extended thr
 cruise until he was driven home by l approaching darkness.
