A
thunder

with
stiff
winds
delayed
the
British
dirigible
R-100
yesterday
so
that
she
did
not
finally
make
a
landing
here
at
St.
Hubert
Field
until
5:37
Eastern
daylight
saving
time
this
morning.
The
huge
craft
had
found
it
necessary
to
slow
down
owing
to
damage
to
fabric
trouble.
Temporary
repairs
were
made
and
the
commander
of
the
ship
wirelessed
to
have
the
landing
field
all
ready
for
them
to
land
at
midnight.
Further
delays
made
the
time
even
later
and
a
daylight
landing
was
made
this
morning.

this
mprning
at
5:3(5,
70
hours
after
casting
loose
from
the
,
mpsXyat
C'ardington,
England.
The
mooring
was
carried
through
without
a
hitch.
"We
never
had
a
bump
all
the
way
across
the
Atlantic.
Everything
went
perfectly
until
wc
got
to
Father
Point,
Quebec.
There
we
ran
into
a
bad
bump
and
the
jar
tore
the
fabric
on
the
stabilizing
fiit;
The
damage
waY
temporarily
repaired
and
was
negligible."
With
these
words
Sir
Dennistoun
Burney,
director
of
aircraft
development
and
designer
of
the
R-100
dismissed
the
great
ad-;,
venture
of
Britain's
Queen
of
the
Skies.
''"Sir
Dennistoun
with
Major
G.
H.
Scott,
assistant
director
of
airship
development,
Squadron
Leader
R.
S.
Booth,
captain
of
the
R-100,
and
Squadron
Leader
Johnston,
navigating
officer,
gave
a
joint
interview
to
the
press.
The
four
officers
were
tired
but
jubilant.
There
was
still
left
five
tons
of
fuel.
The
most
valuable
thing
learned
was
that
travel
by
airship
is
the
most
comfortable
means
of
transportation.
The
course
taken
is
the
most
feasible
for
commercial
use
if
larger
ships
arc
used.
"It
was
a
very
good
test
of
the
ship's
ability,"
Sir
Dennistoun
said.
"The
chief
benefit
we
derived
was
experience.
Wc
need
long
flights
to
gain
experience
in
handling
lightcr-than-air
craft."
In
spite
of
the
difficulties
of
the
passage,
the
R-100
set
a
record
for
westward
dirigible
crossing
of
the
Atlantic.
Eastward
flights
have
been
made
in

.'The

added.
The

is

In
this
respect
there
was
small
chance
of

for
Messrs.
Hook
and
Mathews,
the
daring
British
airmen
when
they
crashed
somewhere

"It

a
ghastly

said
Miss

"I
shall
never

the
awful

I
had
when
I
flew
down

seeking
a

through

The

are
terrible.
You
cannot

anything,
and
the
clouds
go
up

I
had
to

and
I
realise
how
lucky
I
was
to
get
through.
It
makes
me
very
sad
on

to

that

When

that

and
in
which
once

the

prorogued

Throughout,

has
been
backed

Toward
