The R-34 headed southwest out
across the Atlantic along the coast of
Maine, her nose pointed for Cape Cod
with the United States destroyer Ban-
croft hanging on her tail and in con.
tant wireless communication with her.
The destroyer stuck close in the wake
of the air monster, running under
forced draft, until Cape Cod wag
reached and then the dirigible cut
across lots.
Expected to Land at Montauk.
It had been decided on the vy-
age along the coast that unless a fa-
yorable wind came up the R-34 would
be forced to land at Montauk Point
and early this morning a wireless mes-
Sage was sent out making that an*
nouncement. With the Cape left be-
hind however, fortune finally favored
the dirigible and the wind veered to
her favor. Headed straight for Mon-
tauk Point she ran true and before
the tip end of Loong Island was reached
1t Was decided to go on to Mineola.
With the goal almost in sight the R-34
flew majestically above the island and
heAded straight down the center of it
for Roosevelt Field, 100 miles away.
As she cruised over Riverhead the
dirigible - came within range of the
wireless telephone Installed at Roose-
Vel field by the navy radio service
and prfeet g^mniunicntion was es-
tablished. During the aight the wire-
less calls from the R-34 Were-received
by the navy radio station in New York.

Major Scott decided yesterday while
over the Bay of Fundy to send a wire-

sistance if it were needed. This was
merely a measure of precaution and
did not indicate discouragement. While
