out of touch with wireless stations
and passing ships for hours. It Is be
lieved the aeronauts are continuing
toward the Irish coast.
The last report yesterday was, the
weather was fine and the vessel was
traveling twenty knots an hour. .
Final Good Bye Sent
The last word yesterday was 'Good
Bye". It is estimated the balloo.i has
traveled 70S- miles already, which la
a record flight for a dirigible.' It is be
lieved that the reason Wellman sent
a wireless "Not so favorable" yester
day was because the dragging equal
lbrator shook the airship as the float
ing tanks leapt from wave to wave. It
is possible that the storm reported
last night off Sable Island may have
struck the airship.,
