Tho last report was that tho weath or was ideal nnd that the airship was able to conserve its storo of gasoline. Tho speod nt which tho Amorica sailed was ronorted at 20 knots in hour. Tho last word from Jnck Envin, tho dirigiblo's wireless operator, was "gooil.hvo" at noon yestorday. J Atlantic liners nro expected to in torcopt nnd relay messages from tho America. It is estimated that tho ballooir has traveled 700 miles already, which is a record flight for a diripblo. Tho reason, it is bolioved, that Wollmun sent u wiroloss messngo yesterday saying that tho "outlook wits not hi fiivnruliln" was that the drnuL'lnir eouilihralor shook the airship ns tho folating tanks leaped from wave r wave. Tho crow of tho airship is highly praised by experts horo because of thoir grit in undortnking to go on in spito of n honvy fog.
