The Adventurers
The Adventurers.
The arrival of the German Zeppelin (Dr. Eckener) at Leningrad on 25th July, is said to mark the real start of the Zeppelin's projected North Polar cruise, via Russian Archangel. Wilkins' submarine suffered in cruising the Atlantic, but his faith in the under-the-ice cruise remains. Chichester, a wonderful navigator, after completing the Tasman crossing via Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands, flew to Manila, en route to Asia. Lindbergh plans a great flight from the United States via Canada, Alaska, and Siberia, to the Old World. An aerial sham fight, the attack and defence of London, has caused some publicity, but the published reports to date have not carried that problem very much farther.
