Some Ticklish
Moments, Says
Flight Pilot
Commander and Others
of Grew Give Impressions
of Voyage in Dirigible;
Ideal Trip, All Agree

There were four ticklish moments in
our fight that came near running our
chances of success.
Good fortune stepped in to our as
sistance at the most desperate moment
and gave US success just as we were
about to give up hope of reaching
Mineola. We were 18O miles from our
destination with only four hours of
fuel in our tanks when the wind sud-
denly veered and helped US to arrive
safely"
Such was the brief summary of the
most remarkable fight yet made across
the Atlantic. 1t was hurriedly given
by Major G. H. Scott, commander of
the R-34, after he had stepped out of
the forward car of the giant ship.

the British Royal Air Force, but

Roosevelt Field where he got q shower

the thread of his story of the fight.
Covered 5000 Miles
"The R-34 covered 5000 miles, not
counting the distance she drifted off
her course at various times under the
powerful winds we encountered. When
we first started off from East Fortune
we encountered favorable winds. but
these quickly changed against us, and
we had to fight our way across for the
remainder of the voyage.
1T was our intention to see the At
lantic Ocean, but we did not get a
glimpse of it until We had crossed it.
We forged our way steadily against
strong head winds above heavy clouds
until we reached Newfoundland, when
we encountered heavy depression

against us.

on Board
We left our base in Scotland in the
early hours of Wednesday morning,

steering a course for the sea. At dawn
the Scottish coast was fast fading away
and the northern rocks of Ireland came
into view. Perhaps not one Of us real
lied the venture we were undertaking.
We were all deeply engaged in each of
our special jobs-the navigator poring
over the course, the commander in
specting each department, the engineer
officer nursing his pets, as with glisten-

cleave the aerial cruiser through
space; the wireless officer. in his silent
cabinet, busy with the outside, with
weather data, wishes for success from

Lad Arrives
On Dirii iiggible
AS Stowaway
Rigger, Denied the Journey,
Crawls Into Ballast; Now
Is Happy, Though He
Faces a Court Martial

William Ballantyne. a twenty-two-
year-old North Country English lad,
has the peculiar satisfaction of being
the first aerial stowaway to cross the
Atlantic Ocean.
Although the terrors of military
court martial face him, he does not
worry, because he has achieved his pur-
pose.
Ballantyne was an original member
of the R-34 crew, as a rigger. Just
before the huge airship started on it's
momentous flight he was informed by
his commander, Major Scott, that he
was to be left behind, ON account of
the extra passengers being carried
across.
Ballantyne, disappointed, silently &C
cepted his commanders order, but dur
ing the night, with the connivance of
some of his mates, he managed to get
aboard the R-34. He climbed up inside
the envelope Of the ship, and then Sc
creted himself in the sand ballast in
the rear.
There he stayed for six hours, until
the R-34 was we'll on her way over the
shores of Ireland Then the pangs of
hunger compelled him to come forward
and report his presence on board to
Major Scott. 1t was too late to go
back and the major set the stowaway
at work to "earn" his passage.
"He will not 60 back with u.s." said
Major Scott yesterday. "He will be
court martialed, but he won't be
hanged. 1t will be very light"
Ballantyne was plainly proud of his
experience. ~ certainly did more work
than any other two men," he said,
"but that was nothing. I made the trip
and here l am. / don't know what they
intend to do with me. That's up to the
commander, and he hasn't said as yet.
I am not worrying about the punish
ment they are planning for me now.
The big thing for me is that made the
trip and am here now"

at sea flashing messages to the R-34.
We breakfasted at a. M, and a
CHEEKY little crowd it was, too, in the
crew space amidships. York ham and
new bread are good enough fare for
any one--let alone we hungry aviators
washed down with hot tea boiled off
the huge exhaust. One only needs my
Lady Nicotine to complete the scene,
but all smoking is strictly barred.
The weather was extremely varied
First of all. we ran into thick fog, but
rose above it and ran along at fifty
knots in brilliant sunshine Two or
three hours later We would find a dirty
bank of rain and forge ahead through
it; but the good ship never hcsitated
and with the sleet and rain running off
her glistening body she slid along like
an aerial greyhound. What would
Jules Verne have said If he had been
with us?
You smile
Yes, thanks, nm jolly hungry, but
must have that hot bath I've been
dreaming about.

Drops in Parachute
To Supervise Landing

In the mean time, wireless tele-
phone communication was estab-

commander of the airship, was in
formed that Major Hugh Fuller,
officer in charge of landing arrange
ments, had gone to Boston, as re-
suit of the o S messages sent
out by the airship during the night.
At Oil o'clock the airship had
