Without a sigh to show that she/ had passed thru one of the most severe tests In her history—even| as trying as the eventful day she} blew away from her mooring mast at Lakehurst, N, J—the airship nosed her way towards the dirigibie mast. By 7:30 a. m, the Shenandoah was hovering close to her moorings. s» The last of her voyage was made thru fog -which she encountered during the night tn the Willamette valley in Oregon and which bung to the ground over the Columbia river and into Washington. GOOD WEATHER FARTHER NORTH The last lap of the northward voy- age was made rapidly in comparison to the slow trip up the California coast, where the Shenandoah had to fight for every inch of her way against winds which varied up to more than 50 miles an hour, At dusk last night, according to wireless messages received from the craft, the officers were on the point of turning the dirigible back towards San Diego, to fly with the strong north winds, because of the fuel sup- ply rapidly being exhausted. The ship was bucking a terrific wind and making less than 20 miles «n hour as she neared the Oregon line from California. Wisdom of t! cers to hold to the course for a short time longer was soon demonstrated by the rapidly changing weather conditions.

Then the minutes she had traversed the 40 minutes she had traversed the 60 miles of coast line to the Sixes river. On past Coos Bay she sped with in- creasing speed. About midnight the navy airship left her natural environment, the sea. She took across the coast range of mountains into the Willamette valley, where, sheltered from the ocean winds, she sped along thru the night. —_————$—$$ HERE’S MORE ABOUT FLIGHT STARTS ON PAGE 1 the shore was only a white line of foam.
