When the anchors were east loose,
the airship aseended beautifully, the en-
gines were set in motion and everything
seemed 70 work 20 perfection. The big

away. The accident occurred just as
the airship was nearing the pack ice Of
North Spitzeubergen.
Released from this great weight, the
airship shot upwards AZ a terrific pace,
until il was q great height above the
clouds The pilots succeeded, however,
IN bringing her down near the earth,
turning her about and set out TO fight
their way southwark against q strong

that II threatened 70 tear the ear tC
