Large banks of 1eecy cloud came
rolling along from the Atlantic, grad

we ploughed our way into the middle

by Harris, the neurological officer, to
go down to within fifty feet of the
water and up to height of about
5000 feet.
Between Layers of Clouds
Suddenly we catch a glimpse of
the sea through a hole in the clouds
and it is now easy to see we have a
slight rift to the south which was
estimated by both Scott, the captain,
and Cook, the navigating officer.
"A few minutes later We find our
selves above the clouds, our height
still being 1900 feet, and beneath a
cloudy sky with clouds at about 5000
feet. We are, therefore, in between

AN excellent cloud horizon now
presents itself on all sides, of which
Cooke at once takes advantage. These
observations, if the cloud horizon is
quite fiat ought to prove a valuable
rough guide. but cannot be regarded
as accurate unless one can also obtain
check on the sun by day or the
moon and stars by night.
Jazz Tunes During Breakfast
Cooke reckons it is easy to make as
much as fftymie error in locating
ones position when using cloud hor-
zon as substitute for d sea horizon.

"Getting into ones hammock is rath-
err an acrobatic feat, especially if it is
slung high; but this becomes easy
with practice-preventing ones self
from falling out is a thing one must be
careful about in a service airship like
the R-34.
Room for Exercise
"There is only thin outer cover of
fabric on the underside of the keel on
each side of the walking way and the
