London, Sept. 11.—The Kobe cor- respondent of the Central News says that refugees arriving on the steamer Empress of Australia credit the com- | mander and officers of the American naval destroyer 217 with the most outstanding act of heroism following the earthquake. This was the dash of the cratt up Tokio bay to rescue marooned foreigners in the Japanese capital. O¢ean-going vespéls rarely attempt to steamn furtherup the gulf than Yokohama and for Americans to take their ship through the shallow wat- ers of the upper bay after the selsmic | upheaval involved unknown dangers. The commanders of other ships at Yokohama warned the U. S. navy men that it was too early to attempt to reach Tokio, nevertheless destroyer 217 made the run and the Americans were the first rescuers to reach the city after the disaster. As it was impossible to dock the craft the refugees were taken aboard from small l\c:kls and destroyer 217 returned to Yokohama where ,the foreigners boarded the liners that there were acting as rescue stations. | Listens To Pleas of Other Giants and |€d now by refugees.

By The Associated Press. Woolworth Tower, N, Y., Sept, 11 ~—The glant alrship ZR-1 today flew up from her hangar in Lakehurst, N, J., to visit New York. New York was on its toes to greet her. Roofs, visible for miles from the Woolworth tower, were crowded with spectators. 1In the streets below, thousands could be seen craning their necks, as they gazed upward as out of deep canyons. The glant craft was first sighted from the tower after she had passed over Quarantine and headed up the ! The sun gleamed on the dirigible's aleck gray sides and her rudder with its great streaks of red, white and blue glistened in the rays. Escorted By S Five seaplanes, gray as the airship they escorted, circled the ZR-1 as she passed over the tip of Manhattan, glided up the island and disappeared in the haze far up the Hudson. The escorting planes circled -the airship as she came up the harbor. Their speed so exceeded that of their overgrown sister that they were forced to cut capers in the air in or« der not to leave her far behind. The ZR-1 rode on an even keel most of the time. As she pased Mis- tress Liberty, however, ghe dipped her prow quite perceptibly. Down went her bow also as she turied northwest toward the Hudson, following the \rlver on her voyage uptown. | Flies Close to Tower. | | On her way up the island the air- ship flew close to the Woolworth® tower, showering the streets with pamphlets describing her construc- tion. 5 Finally she turned again and passed | over Battery park, thronged with spectators, over the harbor doled with | eraft; past the Statue of Liberty and | through the Narrows, until she was |lost in the light haze. Ships in the harbor played a serenade on ‘thelr whistles as the “Leviathan of the air’ sped away. y Preliminary Tests New York, Sept. 11.—After three hours in the air the ZR-1, the navy's | new giant dirigible was working per- | fectly this morning as she prepared for introductory visits to New York.: She circled above the hangar for a !short time and then started again | toward New York. | Engines Working Fine Radio reports received by Com- mander M. R, Pierce, conmandant of the station at Lakehurst, from Com- | mander McCrary on the ship were that the engines and valves were be- {having with precision and that the | ship would be able to maintain the schedule planned for her. Commander | Plerce explained that the stopping of two engines, which confused land ob- | servers along the Jersey coast, was to test the valves. The ship was main- | taining an altitude of about 5,000 feet | he said, but it conditions permitted ‘it would come lower when it reached New York. He said it would salute | the Statue of Liberty at 11:30 daylight | saving time. After leaving her hangar at Lake- | hurst at 7:17 this morning the ZR-1 went to Highlands, N. J. where she | turned around and returned to the field. At 11:12 o'clock the dirigible passed | Sandy Hook, N. heading toward | New York. S8he was flying at an alti- tude of about 1,000 fect. ¥lies Over Great City ! The airship passed Quarantine shortly before 11:30 o'clock and head~ | ed for the Statue of Liberty, Two alr- | planes escorted the dirigible. | The ZR-1 paid a visit to Brooks [lyn and then returned to Manhattan wending her way uptown again. She | cut graceful circles in the sky, turning | with remarkable abruptness for her size, as if to prove she could wriggle through aerial traffic just as skilfully as agile taxis dodged surface s and | pedestrians thousands of feet below | her.
