unexpected and critical tests of
speed, endurance, reliability for wire

to the weather. Unusual speed tests
were made last night when after a

Pullman. The craft was notified at
1:10 hi morning that a severe thun-
derstorm was occurring directly over
the landing station mt she bore

The trial trip of the zR-2 which

half the time h is expected to take
