At this stage it was uncertain whether England could be reached at all, and a landing in France was contemplated by her cap tain.

So violent was the wind during the Jast stage of the voyage to England, and gusts reaching a velocity of forty knots, that the crew had the greatest difficulty in controlling the airship. Furthermore, all suffered intensely from sea sickness, and owing to this cause pilots, and cox- swains required, relief at very frequent intervals to maintain the navigation of the ship. This flight is particularly CIGARETTES.noteworthy in view of the fact that it was carried out entirely over the sea.
