ZEPPELIN’S RIGHT
DIRIGIBLE PASSES OVER AZORES STOWAWAY A PRISONER (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 12.25 p.m. LONDON, Friday. The Graf Zeppelin passed over the Azores. Her commander, Dr. Hugo Eckener, reports that all is well. The airship had to fight almost every inch of the way in the teeth of strong head winds. Dr. Eckener says the stowaway will be deported immediately they reach the United States. In the meantime he is being kept a close prisoner. Reed. 9 a.m. NEW YORK, Friday.
A report from Ponta Del Gada, on San Miguel Island, the most easterly of the Azores, stated that the Zeppelin was believed to have passed there at 9.35 Eastern standard time, which, if authentic, indicates that the airship is averaging better than 90 miles an hour since leaving Cadiz.
