Giant Craft May Veer Off

BIZ United Press

By United Press
The Graf Zeppelin, riding out
a moderate gale in mid-Atlan-
tic with apparent ease, made
excellent progress today on her
return voyage from the United
States to Germany.
The Zeppelin was> sighted at T:19
a. m. today by the Cunard liner
Mauretania, which reported that all
was well with the dirigible. The
Mauretania at that time was 1890
miles from New York.
The position was figured In
statute miles for the United Press
by Rand-McNally Company. on TIE
Mauretania's report of her position,
which was latitude 45.53 north,
longitude 4l.40 at noon. The dirigi-
bic was sighted fifty miles north of
that position, but presumably ap-
proXimately the same distance from
New York.
Fair Speed is Made
The Graf Zeppelin left New York
at 3:15 a. m. Monday. When sight
ed by the Mauretania, she had been
gone tWenty-eight hours, which
made her average speed sixty miles
an hour. Allowing for deviations Of
the dirigible from a direct course
her speed probably was greater, say
65 miles an hour.
However, a United States weather
bureau report issued at Washington
at IL a. m. indicated that the worst
of the dirigible's weather troubles
would be over soon, even if she ad-
hered to the northern route.
The Washington bureau said a
high pressure area extending from
north of the Azores to eastern
Greenland assured excellent weather
for much of the latter half of the
Journey. The Zeppelin should en-
ter the zone indicated sometime to-
day.
Over Steamer Lane
The Graf Zeppelin at that time
had followed closely the route of
north Atlantic shipping. The Maui
retania left Southampton Saturday.
Because of the weather, it still
was possible that the dirigible might
veer southward toward the Azores.
The British air ministry at 3 p. m.

announced that the Graf Zeppelin
would encounter light southerly
winds and fair weather IL she con-
