AIRsHlP COMES TO GRIEF.
While Maneuvering for a Landing
Ship Comes In Contact With Tree.

Goeppingen, June AFTER cover
ing $50 miles in 81 hours, Count Yep
pelin's new airship, on its return trip
from Bitterfeld to Frisdrichshafen,
came to grief in an open field near here
yesterday. In maneuvering for a land
ing, the airship came into contact with
a tree, and it's position last night was
dangerous.
After much labor and with the as
sistance Of some OF those who had
gathered at the scene, Count Zeppelin
was able to shift the position of his
airship a little, and thus get better
protection from the wind.
Airship Badly Wrecked.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose OF
replenishing his supply Of benzine,
which was nearly exhausted. The mo-
tors already had stopped and the air.
ship was nearing the ground on a
meadow where a sudden strong puff OF
wind drove the prov out OF its course
and against a pear tree. 1t struck with
a great crash, smashing the Prov
almost UP 70 the front of the gondola
and crushing the aluminium stays into
a shareless mass, which became in
extricably enmeshed in h
Nearly a hundred feet of the envelope
and frame were DESTROYED.
Zeppelin Depressed.
Count Zeppelin Immediately came to
Goeppingen in an automobile and tele-
graphed to Ulm for pioneers to
Friedrichshafen for workmen to make
repairs. After resting for several
hours, at a hotel he returned in the
evening to the scene of the accident,
proceeding from there by automobile
to Friedrichshafen. He will return
here today.
Repairs are now being made, but
these are of a temporary nature, where
by the airship may proceed to Fried
richshafen. Permanent repairs prob
ably will require six weeks In order to
get the ship to Manzell. No one was
injured in the accident, but Count Yep
pelin has been much depressed over
the mishap.
