Virigible Is Sighted Of-

--
Bs The Associated Press
The dirigible Oraf Zeppelin making
the first commercial trans-Atlantis air
crossing tonight was pushing toward
her goal at Lakehurst N J on an
apparently steady course which had
carried her far past the Agoras
In the first 30 hours of her flight
Dr Hugo Eckener commander of the
worlds largest air ship bad turned its
nose south to avoid storm areas This
deviation from the expected course bad
added htmdreds of miles to the air
distance to his god
ARRIVAL DU! SUNDAY
Prom the Asorees came a report that
the dble already was PM miles west
by south of Horta at 2 it m eastern
standard time Earlier it had been
thought that she might be sighted
there in the late afternoon but the
great ship after leaving Maderia had
apparently taken a straight course for
Bermuda
If the report from the Mores wee
correct it may mean Doctor Eckener
expects to berth his airship in the han-
ger awaiting her at Lakehurst by noon
Sunday The Azores are 2055 miles
from Bermuda and the latter is 112I
miles frnm New York
sMwi 5FISO vanes
The uncertainties of 'air speed are
multiplied in the case of dirigibles
however During part of her early
flight the Graf Zeppelin made Only 50
'miles an hour an unsigned message
Intercepted by the radio manna corpo-
ration said her speed was then 55 miles
an hour An even greater variation is
possible depending upon the strength
and direction of winds encounareed
During the hours when the
I was carefully picking its way to avoid
the storm areas over anuthwestem Bur-
et and ita adjacent seas it had been
sighted frequently and reported both
by land stations and by steamships
These reporbi became more scattering
with the fall of night and with her
I continued progress over the open sea
GEOGRAPHY P-717-01421-80R
COMMENTS ON PLIGHT
"By sailing due west from Spain pin
the Azores the Ors Zeppelin prob-
ably expects to miss the North At-
lantic storm belt" Dr C J Bothnger
head of the geography department
said Friday referring to the German
dirigible's unusually long course
While probably Doctor Eckner and
his staff alone know the real reason
for choosing this course it is highly
possible that he sought to steer the
zeppelin into the high preasure belt
where there is a minimum of storms
If the ship goes any further south
In its course it will get into the trade
winds Doctor Bollinger continued
He pointed out that this was the ap-
proximate course taken by Columbus
The Graf Zeppelin which left pried-
richshaten Thursday by taking the
well-traveled route over Ireland and
around Newfoundland would have been
In the path of cyclonic storms and

said He added that the dirigible
will probably run into some MAWS-
