between General Lionel Charlton and
General Edward NJ. Maitland, repre-
senting the British air ministry, at
which final plans will be made for the
II -34's homeward trip.
Members of the crew who remained
here last, night explained that the fail
ure Of the R-34 TO receive proper
weather reports caused her to run into
two storms off Newfoundland. The
weather reports picked up were from
| the vicinity of the Azores islands, while
those from the North Atlantic region
were very meager.
with reports telling of the storm area
some 200 miles north by northeast Oh
Newfoundland the R34, it was SAID
would have altered her course to north
of the circle of wind and proceeded over
northern Newfoundland and the Nova
Scotia coast and thereby would nave
avoided the storm between Newtounu-
land and Nova Scotia.
Curious Crowds Gather
All persons other than those on duty

were ordered from the field ABOUT u

Automobile parties left the dry en-
closures of their machines and in many
instances fashionably gowned women
disregarded possible injury to theil
clothing to see the first dirigible to cross
the Atlantic Even after dark auto
lists continued to arrive, as did cyclists
and pedestrians. Visitors were permit
ted on the field outside the 2oo-yarc
limits again today, and from the large
number of early arrivals even greater
crowds than yesterday were expected
during the day.
