th
air. While Zeppelin was devoting his
time to dirigible construction Dr. Eok
ner was contributing articles to the
rranaiurier eiiung, many ot wnicn
pronounoed.. Zeppelin's theories. Im-
praotloable. He referred to them as
the "air castles of an air count." But
In 1906, after the wreoklng of Zep
pelin's third dirigible, the student and
the sky-dreamer met.
CHAPTER IV
"(VC a spring morning of the year
1906, as 1 was working in the
garden of my house in Friedrichshaf
en, my cook came running, towards
me and said: 'Count Zeppelin is here
and wants to talk to you!' She was
quite excited, for Count Zeppelin was
already at that time a well known
personality, perhaps not so much fam
ous as considered an original, for he
was a cavalrv general who had got
the idea into his head that he wanted
to fly, and had already experienced
manv disappointments."
Thus begins the story of what
proved to oe a momentous meeting
between Dr. Eckener and Count Zep
pelin, as it was dictated by Dr. Eck
ener when he was in New York re
cently at the close of his round-the-world
flight. It waa the first meeting
between the student with the call of
the sea In his blood and the dreamer
who would ride tbc clouds.
Dr. Eckener was then more than 40
years old, and bad devoted nis recent
years entirely to the study of econ
omics and writing. His hsd been the
secluded life ot tne student, .epoet
in's the active life of an army offi
cer. Zepoelin was now tne strug
gling inventor, Eckener the critic. One
was silvery-haired and aging, the
other in the full vigor of life.
It was s clear spring morning. The
waters of Constance, the lake which
was to be made famoua by these two
men. glistened a clear blue in the
early sunlight. But. to return to Tr.
Eck'ener's dictated description of wbst
was said and done:
"I told the cook to bring the Connt
to the hon. I quickly made myself i
a little tidy and went into the room
where I found the Count waiting.
He arose and without further prelim
inaries, showed me a pace of a news
paper and asked: 'Tud you write
this?"
"It was an article in the Frankfur
ter Zeitung. I answered in the af
firmative, for I had, indeed, made
a report in that paper with regard
to the latest disaster of Count Zen-
fielin's airship, the stranding of same
n the Allgaeu, in a very objective.
and for the person of the Count, a
veryfriendly way.
"The Count continued: 1 thank
you for what you say about me per
sonally in this article. I am glad to
have met vou at last, since we have
been trying to find out for a long time
who might be the author ot tne re
norta about my flights in the Frank
furter Zeitung that are signed "Dr.
E." Tour reports are friendly and
hrove of technical knowledge but
they contain some erroneous concep
tions, and I have come to give you
som information in thia respect.'
"We discussed a few questions, and
the Count said on leaving: 'Do you
play chesa? If so, I would like to in
vite you to a game one day when I
am in Friedrichshafen: then we can
best talk over my affairs.'
'I answered In the affirmative, and.
reallv, n few days later a groom from
the hotel came to me, inviting me, in
the name of the Count, to aupper and
a following game of chees. This was
reneated auite often in the course of
the next few weeke and we became
eood friends. I oecame more ann

Zeppelin.
