STORM MAY AID ZR-3.
Moderate Disturbance in Ships
Path Reported to Navy.

\ moderate disturbance in the
mid-Atlantic was reported today
practically in the path of the ZR-5
by the naval ships on observation
duty in connection with the trans
oceanic flight. The latest forecast,
relayed by the cruiser Milwaukee and
giving the compiled prediction from
all sources for the noon period today,
was as follows:
disturbance south of Greenland
moving northeastward, with trough
of low pressure southwest to Ber-
muda Lowest (barometer), 29.42.
Pressure still high Quebec south to
Florida; highest, 30.34, at Montreal.
Strong shifting winds above latitude
45, but diminishing elsewhere. Mod
crate TO fresh rortherly winds west
of longitude 60 and probably moder-
ate southwest winds betwee cen latitude
35 and As from longitude co east
ward
On the basis of the forecasts Off
cials here predicted the airship would
be assisted rather than hindered by
the disturbance. They pointed out
that from the Azores the ZR-3 might
expect to have favoring westward
winds, If conditions now prevailir g
continue. By maintaining her pres
ent indicated speed the airship would
arrive at her destination about 8
o'clock Wednesday morning.

CREW DRUNK, HURT,
RUM SHIP TAKEN
Captain, Locked in Cabin,
Describes Liquor Orgy Caus-
ing Crafts Capture.
By the Associated Press


NEW YORK, October 13-Rolling
lazily on gentle swell in the lee of
Sandy Hook, with her crew of 80 in
irons and her cargo of $4,000 cases
of liquor under governmental seal,
the seized Norwegian steamship
Sagatind this morning awaited dis
position at the hands Of the Federal
Government.
There was nothing to suggest the
tumultuouS scenes that had been en-
acted on her decks before the coast
guard cutter Seneca sighted her float
ing aimlessly about 40 miles out from
New York without a helmsman. When
the Senaca came upon the Sagatind
just before dawn yesterday the look
out of the cutter hailed the ship, and
receiving no response fired three
shots across her bow. When still
there was no sign of life aboard Capt
r La Blake of the Seneca ordered his
men to board her, acting under a law
permitting search Of vessel known
to be in communication with the
shore.
The customs men clambered over
the side and looked about the deck
cautiously, half expecting to be fired
upon. They saw no one on deck. but
a search disclosed two sailors asleep
in the wheelhouse. Below decks they
found the rest of the crew.
Many Hurt In BrawL
Some were asleep, some were in
their hunks nursing broken bones,
and some were staggering about in
a stupor. Nearly all were nursing &
black eyes. The captain was found
locked in his cabin, with IL rifles and
6 revolvers beside his bunk. He ex-
planned that his ship, a ss4-ton OIL
I burning vessel Of Norwegian registry,
had left Antwerp for St. Pierre with
| a derelict crew and 100000 cases of
assorted liquor. only $1,000 cases
| remained. In the ships safe Gus
| toms men found $4,000 in American
| money.
The crew had made free with the
liquor he said, and before they were
| one day out the lighting began.
Brawls continued all the way over,
reaching a climax after the vessel
anchored in rum row.
The night they arrived the crew
| indulged in a drinking orgy, three
men received broken jaws. one had
his leg broken, two received broken
J arms and a score had their eyes
blackened, he told customs men. He
retired to his cabin to wait for the
storm to subSide.
While the captain was telling his
story to Capt Blake the other Gus
toms men had driven. the crew below
decks and made fast the matches The
Sagatind was then towed inside Sandy
Hook. where a guard was placed over
her to await the decision of officials

today of her departure from Ger

adding that she sailed smoothly from

were listed and catalogued. 1t is ex-
Dected that, owing to the methods
which have been adopted and the
friendly cooperation between the
Germans and the Americans. the
whole number will be settled within
two years. If so. it will be a great
triumph, since such claims usually drag
on in litigation for 20 or 80 years.
The types of claims still awaiting
settlement are private debts due
American citizens and claims due to
shrinkage in the value of German
bonds Notably. only one claim for
personal damages following an al
legged attack by German soldiery was
presented and this was excluded
owing to lack of sufficient evidence.
The remaining third of the 1000
cases brought here will be arranged,

according to the latest advices. The
next definite word as to her progress
after passing the Azores is expected
to be in the form of wireless commu-

Leaving Friedrichshafen, where she
was built on the war reparations ac-

aircraft yesterday first flew over
Basel, Switzerland Then she swung
about and followed the Rhine until
opposite Belfort, where she turned
westward and then gradually to the
southwest, following q fairly direct
line from Belfort to the Bordeaux
region.

giant ship in her swift passage, high

fate of the great Zeppelin works at

with the treaty of Versailles must be
demolished, since, according to the am

dirigibles under 10000 cubic meters ca

The French press is urging the
government to keep strict watch to

with, now that the departure of the
