THE Britisher was hauled gently to
earth just 108 hours and IL min
utes after her departure from Scot
land, after flight of $3.50 nautical
miles at an average speed of 29.2
knots, due to the continued adverse
weather. Among the passengers who
disembarked were Air Commodore E.
M. Maitland, representing the British
air ministry, and Lieut.. Comdr.
Zachary Lansdowne, U. S. NJ, later
to lose his life while serving as skip
per of the U. S. S. Shenandoah. The
first airship ocean crossing became
history.
Foul weather continued and be-
came so threatening that preparations
for departure were hurried and az

to the command, "Up Ship" and was
of to the east with Col. William N.
Hensley, U. S. Army Air Service, as

fight was made in rs hours minutes
over route of 5000 nautical miles,
at an average speed of 42.6 Knots.
The landing was made at Putnam,
England.
The R-34 was not a large airship,

had a length of 643 feet inches, a

Atlantic Ocean from Savannah, Ga,
in May and June. 1918. She used her
engine only 80 hours, consuming all
her fuel. This is universally credited
as the first steamship crossing of the
Atlantic. In July. 1919, 10l years later,
the R-34 made her historic crossing,
blazing the hghter-than-air trail.
About 1882 ocean steamship serv-
ice began to pass out of the stunt"
class and began to assume degree
of regularity In 1882 the Graf Zep-
pelin began regular transport opera
tions across the South Atlantic.
1t was not until 1885 tnat the
ocean steamship began to conquer
the general feeling Of public appre-
hension and in that year the first
competitive TRANSATLANTIC steamship
services began. About 1840 the ocean
steamship industry really began, with
the organization of the first real
steamship companies, among them
that of Samuel Cunard, which con-
tinues today.
1t was about this time Cunard and
other alert British shipping leaders,
alive to the possibilities of the steam
ship, laid the foundations Of the Brit
ish merchant marine and put that
country into a position of maritime
leadership, which it has held ever
since.
Advocates of the dirigible airship in
this country today are asking whether
the United States is going to permit
Germany to establish an undisputed
leadership in the merchant airship
field which may rnake her the domi-
nant nation in this field Of transporta-
ticn for years 10 come.

~ earlier, the great German
airships Hindenburg and Graf Zep-
pelin. now in regular ocean transport
service on the seventeenth anniver-
sary of the first airship ocean cross
ing. are being used, as were early
steamships. in a struggle to overcome
public apathy and mistrust.
The airship transport pioneers of
today are fighting exactly the same
problem the pioneers of ocean steam
ship service encountered just 100
years earlier, almost to the day. and
the fight is against just the same
public suspicion and apprehension,
which delayed ocean steamship serv-
ice for nearly quarter of a century
then and which is delaying ocean
airship service today.
If the parallel between the steam
ship and the airship continues with
the same fidelity it has shown during
the past quarter century. then the
day of ocean airship transport COM
panies should be about to dawn and
within six years the race for mer-
chant airship supremacy on the trade
routes of the world should be under
way.
Seventeen years ago, on July 2,
1919, the British airship R-34, COM
manded by Squadron Leader G. H.
Scott and with 80 persons aboard,
was weighed off at East Fortune,
Scotland, and pointed her nose into
the salt Atlantic breeze to attempt
the first crossing of the ocean by a
lighter -than-air craft. After a day
or more of fair sailing the winds
freshened and she soon was fighting
50-mile headwinds, which continued
intermittently until the bleak coast
line of upper Canada was sighted.
Turning down the coast, the R-34
encountered severe thunderstorms
and continued heavy going which de-
pleted her fuel reserve and threatened
a forced landing on a barren and
inhospitable coast. AS her officers
were preparing to make a radio re-
quest for emergency aid, however, the
winds shifted and became favorable.
With tail winds, she fed down the
coast and at am. July appeared
over Roosevelt Field. N. Y, where a
ground crew waited to haul her down.
AS the R-34 passed over the field
at 2,o00 feet. the figure Of man
plunged from her control car, para
chute blossomed, and Squadron
Leader Pritchard dropped to earth
to direct the ground crew in the un-
known details of handling q large
rigid airship landing.

R-34, First Across Ocean,
Required 108 Hours for
Difficult Trip.

The second airship to cross the ocean
was the Los Angeles, German-built
treaty airship assigned to the United
States and flown to this country IL
years ago by Dr.. Hugo Eckener-the
flight which brought the great airship
leader his first international fame
The third crossing was that of the
Graf Zeppelin on its first trip to the
United States, with DR.. Eckener again
in command The fourth was again a
British ship, the R-100, which crossed
to Montreal from England and re-
turned.
The Graf Zeppelin, first of the sue
cessful ocean transport dirigibles, has
been used almost exclusively for the
last four years in service between Ger
many and South America. She made
several crossings in 1881, carrying "a
passengers and 990 Kilograms of air.
mail in that year With the establish
ment of regular service. however. traf-
fic picked up rapidly. In 1882 she car
ried 165 passengers and 1,949 kilo-
grams of mail; in 1888, 681 passengers
and 5,167 Kilograms of mail, and last
year. 1900 passengers and 9.443 kilo-
grams of mail, all in the South Ameri-
can service.
EIGHTY-FIVE per cent of the Crafts
passengers have been BUSINESS
men, according to her passenger rec
ords, and it is safe to assume that
their travels to and from South Amer
lea have been of considerable CONNER
cial advantage to their country.
The Hindenburg and the Graf zep-
pelin between them are scheduled tc
make a total of 81 Atlantic crossings
between April and December of this
year. All of those so far scheduled
have been made with entire success
Ten round trips have been scheduled
for the Hindenburg between Germany
and the United States. All the other
crossings are to South America, with
the two airships flying alternately.
The future of the airship in America
hangs in the balance. Continuation
of an airship program Is advocated In
the Durand report, made to the Navy
Department following thorough study
by a capable group of scientists and
engineers. Within the Navy Bureau
of Aeronautics the nucleus of an able
lighter -than-air organization is main
tanned under the leadership of Comdr
Garland Fulton, Construction Corps
who is a Arm believer in the possibili.
ties Of the rigid airship.
Condr. Fulton, in pointing out the
strange parallel between the develop.
ment of the steamship and the airship
declared that it is contrary to Ameri-

PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
AND CARNIVALS

There are many arguments why
Kingman should get out of it's
swaddling clothes and be number
ed among the adult cities of the
state. One of these was very
deeply impressed on the communi-
ty during the past week when a
carnival company for seven days
showed to full houses. 1t took
thousands of dollars of Kingman's
money out of town and left moth
ing but memories of diminishing
values behind. 1t came at time
when our local Little Theater club
was presenting "Kempy" at the
grammar school auditorium for
local benefits. "Kempy" should
have been able to run at least two
nights with full houses, but the
presence of ballyhoo interfered
and the community is the sufferer
and the loser. We wonder how
many there are that will ask the
merchant and the grocer to let
little of their account run over
until next payday because they at
tended the carnival.
Wo haliova that na0nlo shOuld
have entertainment and that they
should pay for it, but when they
buy entertainment, let it be like
any other commodity, possess
some value beyond the thrill of
one short moment. There should
be some protection offered to our
local business houses, our theatres
and tn community itself. Why
should we penalize ourselves for
days to come because few bright
lights and the sonorous voice of a
versatile barker lures us away
from our cash, for they don't do
business except for cash, our cash,
for which we have worked dill
gently and for which we bought
only a momentary thrill which was
lost with the advent of another
day.-Mohave County Miner.
