An excellent cloud horizon now presents itself on all sides, of which Cooke at once takes advantage. These observations, if the cloud horizon is quite flat, ought to prove a valuable rough guide, but cannot be regarded as accurate unless one can also obtain a check on the sun by day or the moon and stars by night. Cooke reckons it is easy to make as much as a fifty-mile error in locating one’s position when using a cloud horizon as substitute for a sea horizon. BREAKFAST AT 1,500 FEET 7.30 A. M.—Breakfast in crew space up in the keel consisted of cold ham, one hard-boiled egg each, bread and butter, and hot tea. We breakfast in two watches, generally about fifteen in each. The first watch for breakfast was Scott, Cooke, Pritchard, Admiralty airship expert; Lansdowne, Lieutenant-Commander, United States Airship Service; Shotter, engineer officer; Harris, meteorological officer, myself, and half the crew. Conversation during breakfast reverted to the recent flight up the Baltic, and in the adjoining compartment the graphophone was entertaining the crews to the latest jazz tunes, such as “The Wild, Wild Women.” It might be interesting at this stage to give a complete list of the crew, showing their various duties: OFFICERS SHIP’S OFFICERS Major G. H. Scott, A. F. C., Captain. Captain G. S. Greenland, 1st Officer. Second Lieutenant H. F. Luck, 2d Officer. Second Lieutenant J. D. Shotter, Engineer Officer. Brigadier-General E. M. Maitland, C. M.

C., Navigating Officer. Lieutenant Guy Harris, Meteorological Officer. Second Lieutenant R. D. Durant, Wireless Officer. W. O. W. R. Mayes, Coxswain.

WIRELESS-TELEGRAPH OPERATORS Corporal Powell. A. C. Edwards. AIR MINISTRY SENDS GREETINGS 11 A. M.—Still ploughing our way through the fog at 1,300 feet. Sea completely hidden by clouds and no visibility whatsoever. Stopped forward and two aft engines, and now running on only two wing engines at 1,600 revolutions. These are giving us an air speed of 30 knots, or 33.6 miles per hour. This is the airship’s most efficient speed, as she only consumes on the two engines twenty-five gallons of petrol per hour. Wind is east, seven miles per hour, and so we are making good forty miles per hour and resting three engines.
