VOYAGE OF R-34
ACROSS
GREATADVENTURE
of Trip Chroncled by General Maitland ShoW
What a Gamble against the Elements thesCretD Of
the British Dirigibie Faced

Mineola, n. Y, July Mot in the
mere record of miles covered is to be
found the real romance of the R-S4's
aerial voyage to America. The full
story of this great adventure, this
gamble against the elements, is re-
vealed only through the human in
cidents of the trip, ~chronicled in the
form of a log by Brigadier General
Edward NJ. Maitland, official observer
for the British Air Ministry.
The R-34 anchored here at Roose-
Welt flying field at 1854 a. m. yester-
day G:54 p. m. Greenwich mean

hours and IL minutes which covered
5,634 miles.
Will Return Tomorrow
General Maitland announced that
the return trip would be begun at
s "a. M, Tuesday, as the orders from
the Air Ministry are to return as
soon as the ship can be made ready.
Full supplies of petrol, oil, hydro
gen, food and water were ready at
the landing field and the work of

anchored. The work was continued
through last night under the glare
of huge searchlights.
The story-a Jules Verne a
come true-was written while the
giant dirigible was leaving. the
ground at East Fortune, while 1t was
passing out of sight of land, whlle
it was battling its way across the
Atlantic and eluding electrical
storms in the ~northland. while 1t was
slipping safely down the short line
of Long Island to it's anchorage at
Mineola.
1t is an intensely human story, set
down in simple, unaffected style. But
it is doubtful if the greatest master
of English could paint a more vivid
picture.
Describes Mems Feelings
In it is described the feelings of
men starting on a great adventure
cheerfully, confident in the face OF
a hundred dangers. In it is des-
cribed the courage of red-blooded
men lighting their way through an
ocean of cloud and fog, In it is
described the resolute daring of men
calculating coolly just how much
fuel, already greatly shortened, they
could eXpend in lodging tempests
which might dash them to destruc-
ton. In it is described the fighting
spirit of aerial Adventures COM
batting to the last a situation which
might force them to call for assist
ance. But nothing is to be found in
the log of the great JOY which must
have surged up in every mans heart
when they dropped anchor victori-
ously-safe at the end of a 5,634-
mile voyage.
