Hardly had nations ccased to gasp over the audacity of Alcock and Brown when the British dirig- ible R-34 rose from East Fortune, Scotland, one day in July. She turned her nose toward America and with her went 31 men—one of them a stowaway. Crosses in 108 Hours, One hundred and eight hours that flight céntinued. At the end the R-34 hovered over Mineola, Long Island; an officer descended 2,000 feet by parachute to direct her landing; and the big bag was drawn |down for a much-needed rest. All down the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland she had battled such malicious weather as was unknown to exist above the clouds. When finally she reached Mineola her tanks held only enough fuel for a few minutes of travel. Battleships and airplanes had rushed to her aid on the last lap in response to dis- tress calls. Thus narrowly did the R-34 accomplish her mission. A few days later she headed homeward, arriving in England aft- er a comparatively uneventful pas« |sage. She had crossed one ocean twice. | Subsequent attempts to equal or isurpass the cruise of the R-34 end- ed in tragedy.
