ther we start for home sending ahead the report:
 Enemy U-boat, supposedly class E. destroyed 90 miles north of Tersehelling by bomb fire"
 OFF FOR ENGLAND Only the new moon and the stars are out on this dark, cold night, but work is being finished feverishly in the hangars. Orders may come at any minute for an attack. For several days, the weather has been good, and there has been bright sunshine during the days and the nights have been still, with only light north west wind.
 All the members of the Zeppelin crews have returned from leaves of absence, and they realize the time has now come for action, and each one is eager to take part in it.
 Everything has been in readiness for sometime, but we look over our equip ment again and again. The motors have been carefully tested out, and every spring, screw and every bolt has been gene over and frightened. Not even a spot on the body of the great cruiser would have escaped the careful scanning | it received.
 "All ready both inside and outside" comes the report
 An outline of the preparations for the
 
 tack have been given to the commander of each ship as well as the individual courses to be followed. We wait only for the orders to get under way. The gas bags are being filled, and fuel provisions and ammunition have been made ready, so they can be taken aboard in less than an hour.
 Orders from admiralty to ascendr' comes the report
  ALL ENTHUSIASTIC We are going to start. At last, this minute we have all been waiting for has arrived. Great enthusiasm prevails every where, and everybody is trying to outdo his comrade at the hangar. Each mem Der of the crew is attempting to be the first to report ready for duty. Baskets, full of provisions, are carried from the casino and the kitchen while thermos bottles are filled with hot tea and coffee. Any alcoholic drink, of course, is forbid den. Only our medicine chest holds a bottle in case of an emergency. Up in the air, we must have a clear head and nerves of iron if we are to ac- complish our purpose. We must look like lot of ants in their hill we are so busy with the final preparations. Grunting, a man is carrying ballast while their ann intuition is being stored ready to be put into the bomb dropper. Gas is still hiss ing into the big bags, while the water is splashing out of the hoses into ballast tanks, and tackle is being cleared away | in preparation to move the big ship out of the hangar.
 The mechanics are still giving the mo- tors final touches, oiling here and there, and adjusting screws and bolts. Then one

men for whom no work seems danger ous. He is always the first out and the last to return. and he goes far to sea, being afraid of neither mines nor enemy craft.
 HURRIES BACK TO SEA
 Hardly does he take time to go up the Elbe or the Weser to sell his fish over which the women in Altoona and Bremen ! fight. As soon as he has sold out his supply, he starts out again with the low tide, little king on his ship from whose mast is flying the black, white and red flag.
 To starboard of us with all sails set. he races before the brisk wind with his deck frequently awash. The man at the helm waves, and the captain dips his flag to salute us.
 We leave land behind, and Helgoland is sighted four points to port. Halligen, Arnum and the wide reaching dunes of Sylt appear to starboard. Next we pass the cordon of outpost patrol boats which are creeping along their routes at reduced speed, searching carefully. Ceaselessly, sharp eyes look out to sea- wondering where the enemy may be. The area over which they can see is, of course, limited, and is much smaller than ours Also the heaviest sea is of no hindrance to us as we sail on our voyage driven against the DrlSK Wlnd Dy our propellerS.
 "Rudder down!'' I order.
 Barely 40 meters above the surface of the sea, our giant craft is passing She of the small patrol boats.
 Anything new?" we shout through the megaphone. The sound is carried to those listening on the boat but they cannot understand what we say, for the noise of the motors is too great. There fore, one of my mates signals the ques- tion, and we immediately receive the re- ply:
 f'Nothing new
 Then we ascend higher to proceed on our voyage and now the sweep of our view is almost unlimited. There is tfe Danish Island, here Fanoe, then Hans tholm, and soon afterwards Hammer bay. Indistinctly, the outline of the Norwegian coast looms up as if covered with a blue mist, So far nothing suspicious has been diScOverad

The air vibrates with it's panting and roaring so that those close to it cannot understand one another The rush of air from the propellers blows off hats. Petty officers test the steering apparatus and get maps and the other essentials to air navigation.

 In half an hour, perfect order has come from this chaos. Everything is ready for action. Reports from all parts of the ship reach me az 1 make my final inspection of the Zeppelin. Each commander knows he can depend on his men, but never be- fore has the most extreme care done any harm.

 More ballast is taken aboard and | weighed to the last pound. The great frame of the ship shivers slightly Then she lifts herself from her resting place and floats in the air

 Those remaining behind always watch the start of the flight with envy until the long, gray shapes disappear over the sea and the wind hushes the roar of their propellers. Only a few who have been drenched while filling the tanks with water ballast, make their way to their lockers to change their clothing as quick ly as possible. But still work cannot cease. More is to be done. The hangar of the departing ships is cleared and pre- pared for their homecoming Then the part of the force that remains will have leisure to spin yarn. Those who have been along on previous trips, of course, have the center of the stage, while others listen.
 OVERTAKEN BY OTHERS
 We are soon oyertaken by L-51 and L-5S and, flying at the same height, we three ships, hailing from the same port, pro- ceed on our course. For a long time we can see one another clearly, and everyone on board is happy because of the prospects of great success.
 All the weather stations and meteoro- logical observatories have given us re- ports of fine weather. The cool air gives us an additional advantage, because of the greater buoyancy of the gas bags.

breathe through the mouth and to blow
