CARDINGTON, England, August Is.
Through terrific storms that tested
her mettle and proved her seaworthiness
the British dir'Cible R-100 today COM
pleted her oyage to Canada and back,
and was moored safely to her home
mast at 500 am, Eastern standard
time, without incident.
The worlds largest lighter-than-a air
craft twice crossed the Atlantic Ocean
in a span of 3,2s7 miles along the
great circle route and added to her
voyage the mileage from st. Hubert
Field, Montreal, to Ottawa, Toronto
and return.
Besides displaying remarkable speed
capabilities, the bulky airship conclu-
sively demonstrated her mighty strength
by riding out wind and storm in the
latter part of her home rum, to the
immense satisfaction of her designer
and the officers and passengers on
board.
The dirigible left Montreal at 8:2s pm,
Eastern standard time, Wednesday
Following the great circle route almost
without deviation, speed up to 81
miles an hour was Ittained. When head
winds buffeted her, the R-100 slowed
down to IL or Is miles an hour. but
rode steadily on under perfect control.
Makes Trip in 81 Hours.
The time Of crossing was approximate
" 81 hours, according to an ofhcial
announcement.
The fastest crossing of the Atlantic
by lighter-t han-air craft was made in
August, 1929, by the Graf Zeppelin,
which needed only SIS hours and IS
minutes to travel 1900 miles-nearly
900 miles more than the R-100 trav-
eied-between Lakehurst, N. j., and
Friedrichshafen, Germany. The Crafts
speed was IS miles per hour.
Cardington, despite the bad weather,
turned out in force to greet the air adj
venturers. The R-100 dropped her

to her mast 80 minutes later.
It took l hour and % minutes to

in the revolution. was in the keeping as
much of the visitors themselves as of
