PICK UP SIGNALS

AS officers, sailors and marines at
this station knew about 1t. ALI wCI c
1ub:.ant, from Acting Commanding
Officer Maurice X. Pierce, down to
the buck private who patrolled the
echning hollows of the big hangers.
Lieutenant Settle had declared
only few moments before that he
did not expect to be in touch with
the ZR-3. except by relay until she
approached near enough for the
radiophone to get her.
Our wavelength for sending and
receiving was not supposed to be
tuned in with the ZR-3." he said.
I'VE are ordered to maintain our
usual routine naval lengths, for to
disrupt the routine we would have
had to disorganize the regular bust
ness Of communications with the
field"
he first signal picked up was at
9:55 L. NJ. eastern standard time.
Lieut.. Settle did not communicate
the news, however, until he and his
aides had strained over their instru-
ments for 30>minutes, trying unsuc-
cessfully to get single word of the
messages passing from the airship to
the battleships.
At 1925 p. NJ. the signals ceased.
Whether the ZR-3 ceased sending or
whether her flashes. which had been
barely observable, had been entirely
drowned out by interference, Lieut..
Settle was unable to tell.
Only five words of message which
probably was longer were distin-
guished here. They were in German.

Start Up Pacific
Coast Early Today

San Diego. Cal. Oct. 13-Re -fueled
and re-provisioned Orders damaged
in landing here repaired and fresh
helium waiting in. tanks to be in
jected into her gas bags, the navy
dtrigible Shenandoah is swinging at
her North Island anchor mast to-
night ready for the start at 1880
voyage up the Pacific coast.
Lieutenant Commander Zachary
Landsdowne, commanding the Shen-
andoah. was early on the ground to-
day supervising repairs while Rear
Admiral William Moffett chief of
the naval bureau OF aeronautics, also
inspected the work.
At the foot of the mooring mast
Is a pile of steel heiium containers
each carrying load OF the compress
sed gas. This will he .aken on the
last thing in the morning before the
ship sails northward. Waiting
aboard for all hands, from Admiral
to the lowest rating seaman Of the
crew, are wool and far lined flying
suits and WOO; lined Arctic boots for
the upper air which even in southern
California. carries a penetrating chill.
1t registered 35 degrees above zero In
the air lane the night the Shenandoah
landed here.
Each Of the suits is wired" for con-
nection to electric plugs fixed at inter-
walls in the body Of the ship. If the
wearer feels cold he may back up to
tho wall, ''plug in" and warm up.
Provisions taken on board consisted
mainly of sandwiches wrapped in oiled
paper. and beans. In the forward Gon-
dola Is the tiniest of xitchencttes. and
here on a gasoline stove the beans are
warmed and occasionally eggs are
fried. All ether food except the coffee
is cold. and, owing to the danger of
fire from the stores Of gasoline aboard,
smoking is forbidden. There are hunks
for each officer on the ship and one for
each member Of the crew off duty.
These are arranged in groups Of four
and are equipped with wool-lined sleep
ing bags.
Admiral Moffett reiterated tonight
the impossibility Of fixing the route to
be followed by the ship after she
passes Los Angeles on her voyage
, northward. After swinging over that
city she will head back to the coast If
weather permits. and if strong winds
are encountered on the seaboard she
will take the valley route through CEN
trail California TO San Francisco.
