W ellman 's second a tte m p t to sail over

in a failu re. T he g ia u t d irig ib le bal

the d a riu g explorers took th e ir places

W hen th e anchors w ere ca st loose,
the airsh ip ascended b e a u tifu lly , the e n

and it se t o ut a t a speed of 25 miles an

in b rin g in g her down n ear th e earth,

The airsh ip proceeded slow ly south

The stra in w as so g reat, however,
