Troubles .Regin.

The airship's troubles began on the
return journey. The wind became
stronenr and more tempestuous. At
midniah, one engine became useless
and the ahip was forced a eonsidera-
BILE distance to ieeward.
The captaAn contemplated landing in
France, but knal1y decided to hold on
in the hope that the wind would die
down. The wind abating somewhat. a
land fall" was made. AT this time
the gasoline supply was becoming low
and only one engine could be kept
running. ..-..
During the last stage Of the voyage
the wind was very violent and the
crew had the greatess difficulty in
controlling the ship. AN suffered in
tense1y from seasicknesS, especially
the pilots and coxswains.
The fight was carried out entirely
over the sea. 1t was the longest non-
stop overseas voyage ever made by a
British aircraft and SO far as is known
lit was a; worlds record for non-rigid
fairshipS. ..'
