Then with a roar like the tram- pling of celestial cavalry, and the strength of 2,700 horses represented in the five engines swung in gon- dolas beneath the silver bag, the motors were cut wide open and ship was driven downward toward the earth. A 500 Sailors Labor Lines were dropped and caught by the waiting hands of more than 500 sailors. The ship was drawn deftly down and the gumpy bumper under the control cabin rested on solid ground.
