MOORED IN EARLY MORN. (United Press Aesociation—By Eleotric Telegraph—Copyright). VANCOUVER, August 1. A message from Saint Hubert states that 11100 was moored at 4.20 a.m., Eastern Standard time, to-day. A GOOD RUN ACROSS. i . (Received this uay at 10.30 a.m.) OTTAWA, Aug. 1. At St. Hubert, Quebec, Sir Dennistoun Burney, Director of Aircraft Development and designer of R.IOO, said on Friday:—“We never had a bump all the way across the Atlantic. Everything went perfectly until the airship reached Father Point, Quebec, There we ran into a bad bump. The jar tore tlie fabric on a stabilising fin, The damage which whs negligible, was temporarily repaired. The most valuable thing we learned was that travel "by airship wag the most comfortable means of transportation, Tlie course taken was the most feasible for commercial use, if larger .airships are used. It was a very good test of the ship’s ability. Tlie chief benefit we derived was experience in handling lighter than air craft,” R.IOO set a record for a westward dirigible Atlantic crossing. The eastward flielit has been made in much faster time.
