Makes Second Ocean Crossing in y Hours Is Moored Safely to Mast at Darlington Just After Noon. London Time. {,
Rough Weather Makes Slight Tears in Fabric of British Dirigible- Accident to Stove Makes Hot Meals Impossible.

Darlington. Eng, Aug. Is P-- i Through terrific storms that tested her mettle and proved her seavorth- mess the British dirigible R-100 to- day completed her voyage to Canada and back and was moored safely to her home mast at 12:02 p. m. (6:02 a. m, L. s. TD.
 The worlds largest lighter than air craft twice crossed the Atlantic ocean in a spand of 3,287 miles along the great circle route and add cd to her voyage the mileage from St. Hubert field, Montreal. to Otta- va, Toronto and return.
 Besides displaying remarkable speed, the bulky airship conclusively demonstrated her mighty strength by riding out wind and storm in the latter part of her homing run..t the immense satisfa ction of her designer and the officers and passengers on board < ship Under Perfect Control ! The dirigible left Montreal at s:2s p. m. E. s. T, Wednesday. Follow ing the great circle route almost without deviation, a speed up to 92 miles an hour was attained. When 1 headwinds buffeted her, the R-100 slowed down to 12 or IS miles an hour, but rode steadily on under perfect control.
 The time of crossing was approxi- mately 57 hours, according to an of fcial announcement. Darlington, despite the bad weather, turned out in force to greet the air adventurers. The R-1O0 dropped her mooring cable at 11:50 2. m. after circling the airdrome and was fastened to her mast 32 minutes later. and 1s days after she had slipped her cables for the voyage.
 It took an hour and 22 minutes to bring in the airship from the time was was sighted over The field.
 Lord Thompson. minister for air, ! greeted the homecomers at the top Of the landing tower, after they had been examined by the customs officers. In enterprising fashion | Lord Thompson broadcast a speech and regular British broadcasting company announcers were on the air with a continuous description of the arrival and mooring of the airship.
 spectator Drops Dead One tragic incident marred the return of the voyagers. Edward Lill, a prominent member of the Chip ping, Solbury district council, fell dead while watching the R-100 as crew men tied her to the mast.
 Most Of the spectators dispense with all formality and lay flat on their backs on the ground, the bet ter to see what was going on above them, Many also brought with them portable radio sets with which they 1 listened raptIy 10 the running de- sCription of what was going on at the top Of the tall mast
 Passengers and crew were unan- imous in their expression Of belief that the trip Of the R-100 had proved beyond question the feasi- bility Of transatlantic commercial airship communication.
