Three engines then went out of action through the fracture of the driving shafts. Tho Zeppelin reached Nimes at nine o'clock this morning and was stationary for twenty minutes near Bellegarde, which is fifteen milca further on.

Great Excitement.

Toulon, May 18. The landing of the Graf Zeppella had caused most intense excite- ment in the neighbourhood. Excited spectators made

a wild stampede to the landing ground.

The Police and the military authorities had the greatest dif- ficulty in keeping back the crowds which swarmed the ground.

Weather conditions were favour- able and the landing party had no difficulty in seizing the mooring ropes which held the airship until it was safely secured.

Dr. Eckener was the first to jump out and gave a warm tribute to the work of the landing party.

In anticipation of the needs of the airmen, tho Asiatic Petroleum Company had detailed its repre- sentatives to await the arrival with a launch and oil supplies. Though disappointed on the first day, they had the pleasure of greeting the airmen on Saturday afternoon. The plane, easily the amallest to have made this Colony a port of call, was sighted, flying fairly low, over the western en- trance into the harbour. It made, unerringly, for the aviation chorage, on which it landed, in a shower of spray, and taxied to the buoy assigned to it by the aero- drome officinis. A burst of hand- clapping from the people on the

All the passengers landed in high spirits. Mrs. Pierce, the only woman passenger, declared that nobody was in the least alarmed at the experience.-Reuter.

Talk of Sabotage.

London, May 19. The fact that four of the five engines of the Graf Zeppelin broke down has led to the talk of Dr. Eckener in reported to have sabotage at Friedrichshafen but declared that he did not believe there had been foul play.
