MineoIa, L. L., July THE British
diribible, R-34, which landed at the
Roosevelt flying field here, at 9.54 a,
m. Sunday, is already making prepa-
rations for it's return trip. The big
dirigible is the first lihgter-than-air
to cross the Atlantic ocean after an
aerial voyage of approximately 5000
miles made in 10S hours and II
minutes.
When the super-zeppelin arrived
here she had left only enough petrol
to keep her moving 80 minutes long
er. Her crew, almost sleepless for
1-2 days, were weary almost to the
point of exhaustion but happy at the
making trip. The return voyage prob
ably will be started at a. M. Tues

Scot decided yesterday while over
the Bay of Fundy to send wireless
call to the American navy to be pre-
pared to give assistance if ii were
needed. This was merely measure
of precaution and did not indicate
disbursement While destroyers
and submarine ehasers were racing
to her assistance, the R-34 was plum
ming steadily ahead on the way to
Mineola.
It had been decided on the voyage
along the coast that unless o favor

forced to land at Montauk point, and
early this morning a wireless message
was sent out making that announce
ment. With the cape left behind,
however, fortune finally favored the
balloon, and the wind veered to her
favor. Headed straight for Montauk
point. she ran true. and before the
tip end of Long Island was reached
it was decided to go on to Mineola
With the goal almost in sight, the
R-34 flew majestically above the is

While the R-S4 was circling the
field Mai. Pritchard jumped off with

headquarters and smilingly hurried
indoors before an ambulance that had
been rushed to the scene could reach
him. This was nearly half-hour be-
fore the dirigible came to anchor.
