there. 1 knew there was only n
chute there for the three of us.
Bateman had the chute and jumped,
but it fouled and he hung to the
tail of the dirigible.
Both Potter and I started to run

an explosion of either a petrol tank
or hydrogen and flames Immediately
began to sweep the forward part of
our half of the ship.
What was happening to our COM
rades in the other part of the ship
l do not know. Most of the officers
and crew were amidships either seat
ed or lying in their hunks. when the
Orders broke. At least one of the
men dropped through the gap made
by the break and maybe others did.
II ran back to the tail to get away
from fire in the bag. By this time
the bag was becoming depleted and
the ship was shooting down rapidly.

MANY THRILLS
ON EXCURSION
Of JR. D. J.. A. NJ.

One of the most successful and
enjoyable outings of the season was
experienced by the big crowd which
gathered for the first annual ex-
cursion of the Junior o. U. A. NJ.
No. s., up the Hudson to Palisades
Park. Favored by an almost perfect
Gay the affair was declared as an
undeniable success by all concerned.
The council is SO pleased with
the results of their first attempt in
the way of an outing of this kind
that they anticipate making it an
annual affair and are already figur-
ing on a larger and finer boat for the
next excursion. Other details will
be increased in proportion to assure
an even more enjoyable affair If that
a be imagined.
Leaving Perth Amboy at 10
o'clock the excursion reached the
Palisade Park az 1880. Here the
crowd found pleasure and enjoy
.ment in the numerous attraction Of
Sered. Leaving the Park at 6 the
return trip afforded some thrills
which were unexpected. Near Fort
Lee a balloon was observed in the
air from which a man was seen to
drop in a parachute. AS the boat
pdSSeu uOWH tHt I1uu5oh tic CIoW
witnessed the fire which destroyed
the pier at which the Leviathan
was tied and saw it from a point OF
vantage, which few were able to
obtain.
The boat slid into the City dock
at $3.50 last night with a tired but
thoroughly happy and satisfied
crowd.
Several who anticipated a day Of
gambling and crap shooting found
that were in a very unhealthy Local
ton. The Juniors had determined
to carry the affair through on a
clean basis and were determined to
gain their purpose as these would
be offenders soon learned. The
timely and determined efforts of
some of the committee taught these
fellows their place and 40 other
trouble vas experienced. Two of
the offenders were arrested and
placed in the brig TO cool off.
The proceeds of the outing are
to be used as a building fund with
which it is expected to erect a -four
story building on their King street
property in the spring of 1928.
