the hangar, Captain Eckener re-
counted his experiences in a talk
with the reporters.
He is of medium height, fell built
and wears a Van Dyke beard. He
is about so years old. He smoked q
cigar in holder. In his buttonhole
was a red carnation.
DR.. Eckener said he had been with
out sleep for all but eight of the 112
hours the dirigible was in flight. He
said he surrendered a thousand miles
to the elements in his flight to bring
the air liner safely to port. For tn :
last so hours of the trip he had bat
tied the big gas bag through head
winds with q torn stabilizer. which
forced him to run at little more
than half.speed.
Men Braved Dangers
1.-The weather was very bad over
the Atlantic" he said. 'sYou know
l had said that I would make the
flight as soon as the ship was fin
ished. And when I started the
weather was bad, but was in the
position of either being liar or max
ing a transatlantic voyage. Be-
cause OF the bad weather over the
ocean, we were compelled to go by
way of Gibraltar, which added 1920
statute miles to the Journey"
Describing the acct d ent that
stripped the fabric from the lower
side of the port fin, DR.. Eckener
said that Nothing like 1t ever hap
pened in the history Of Zeppelins.'
The fact that we effected repairs
in midoceany and came on to q
happy conclusion of our voyage in
the damaged ship demonstrates more
than even the safety of dirgibles
for transocean flying" he declared.
It required four men five hours to
repair the fin. It was q dangerous
task. They had to run up the cat
walk into the tail Of the ship,
scramble up the Orders to the frame
that meets the fin at that point
and then, one by one, carrying
knives and shears, they climbed
out over the ocean on the spars
that make up the frame Of the
fin. There was nothing between
them and the ocean but $500 feet OF
air.
u. Eckener said he ordered the
engines stopped and the ship roll
led gently in the storm. riding on
the wings as the men worked.
From their precarious perch they
managed to cut away the hanging
shreds after working from a. m.
until L p. m.
