HOW THEY DO IT

A line is thrown to the ground
from the tip top Of the tower
another attached u the nose Of
the ship tossed over the side.
Men on the ground splice the
cables together. Slowly and eau
tiously the dirigible is reeled in
like a large fish and made fast.
It is a preCarious climb to the
top Of the tower for a land-lubber
"a climb right out in the open.
At the very peak is an ar
rangement that looks like a
flower pot" 1t is into this that
the cable holding the nose OF the
dirigibIe is fitted.
The photo above shows the
Shenandoah moored to the mast
at Lakehurst, n. J.. while on the
right Is a closeup Of the nose Of
the giant dirigible attached to the
