Of silk and metal against the wind.
A Motor Fails.
It was dangerous to attempt a
landing in an open field because of
the storm, as the metal was likely
to pound to pieces. In the high
wind one of the motors refused to
work and the other two were not
powerful enough to make any prog
ress in the gale.
The airship drifted, swaying in the
violent gusts and sometimes leaning
to an angle of 40 degrees, and all
the while the enginemen were at
work repairing the disabled motor.
When this was done all four screws
were driven at their full power, un-
der which in normal conditions the
airship was capable of attaining a
speed of 40 miles an hour. But the
helmsman was unable to keep his
course, and the great craft was
swung about at the mercy of the
winds.
Colesman did not dare to turn
the ship around for fear of over
turning, and he decided to drift in
the gale, which was blowing at the
rate of so miles an hour, toward
Osnabruck. which is also a garrison
station. If he missed that he would
continue on to Senne.

Suddenly he perceived a whirl-
