dirigible It-33 returned home safely
.shortly after two o'clock this after

the ulr current over the east coast of
England and the storm swept North
sea. The runaway craft, which tore
away from her moorings at the Pul-
ham air station yesterday during one
of the fiercest gales in recent years,
was sighted by the anxious watchers
nt the airdrome at 1:54 o'clock this
afternoon. She maneuvered for posi
tion and landed safely a quarter of an
hour later.
A favorable wind allowed the sorely
distressed crew of the it-33 to start
th'lr ship homeward from a point
near the Dutch coast after dnylight
and she made a slow stead v fliirht
I aei oss the North sea which yesterday
she had passed over In the opposite
direction, driven onward by the wind.
Hearty cheers went up to them ns the
ship passed low over the shore line.
An excited crowd had waited on
the shore since the big craft with her
damaged prow- 'dropping low whs
swept out to sen yesterday.
The British air ministry officials
are loud in tlieir praise of the stabil

throughout the ship for. the purpose
of gaining data for airship construc
tion, valuable Information is expected
to be obtained as a result of the run
away flight. '
