ZEPP. CHANGES COURSE
HARD BATTLE AGAINST HEAD WINDS STOWAWAY IMPERILS LIVES (Australian and X.Z. I*ress Association) Reed. 0 a.m. NEW YORK, Sunday. Reports from the Graf Zeppelin, which is flying from Germany, remain more or less indefinite, but the last message indicated that head winds had forced her to change her course, and she is now heading for Cape May at 45 land miles an hour, whence she will cross to Philadelphia and proceed to Lakehurst. where she is expected to arrive early this evening. It is believed that the Zeppelin will not cross New York City. With a high wind blowing at the landing-field at Lakehurst, New Jersey, the officers rigged a mooringmast in the centre of the field, to attach the Graf Zeppelin. The officials stated that unless the wind decreases considerably, they will not attempt to place the dirigible in the hangar tonight. A wireless message frem the airship, picked up at Gibraltar, stated that the boy stowaway on board had endangered the lives of th€; passengers by getting 014 to the top of the envelope. He was made a prisoner, and will be* handed over to the authorities at the first opportunity after the arrival of the dirigible at Lakehurst.
