 air attache in the United States, who was waiting for him. The greeting was as typically English IS the ap- pearance of the commander. There was no demonstration and the two of- ficers met as casually as though the trip had been across the English chan mel.
 Brigadier General F. NJ. Maitland. D. & O. official observer for the British air ministry, was the next to step out of the car. He looked fresher than his companions for he had no duties to perform on the way across except to keep the ships log. He said he had slept well and he had taken time to shave. He wore an officers cap, top coat woolen brooches and felt shoes. His only regret seemed to be that the R-34 had caused anxiety by sending out the wireless calls saying assist ance might be needed.
 Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne, the American observer on board the R-34. looked almost as hag- gard as Major Scott, whom he had as- sisted all the way across. The same was true of the other five officers and the g men of the crew.

B. Clarke, U. s. N. desig- mated to receive from General Malt land the log of the trip.
 'Alls well that ends we'll" was the of Admiral Glennon before he read an official message of welcome from Secretary of the Navy Daniels, the RIA to the United States and extending warmest con gratulatIons upon her wonderful ent.
 All the air voyasers were in excel lent physical condition except that they were very tired. They suffered no hardshfps except lack of sleep. There was plenty of food and water and it was not necessary to reduce the ration of either notwithstanding the long voyage.
 General Maitland announced that the return trip would be begun at a. m. Tuesday because the orders from the air ministry are to return as soon as the ship can be made ready. Full supplies of petrol. oil hydrogen, food and water were ready at the landing field and the work of putting them aboard was begun almost as soon as the dirigible was anchored. The work will be continued through the night Under the glare of huge searchlights. As the RIA passed over Long Isl- and, she was followed by a steadily engineering procession of automobiles. The stream of motor cars soon was augmented from all directions and all lay long thousands of cars passed in and out of the fields adjoining that n which the airship was anchored. Thousands of other sightseers went to he fields by every means available and many who could not find any hing in which to ride walked from he nearest railroad stations. . A
