...little more than an hour after taking off, the Akron was nosing above a cloud of fog northeast near Philadelphia. From 30 miles to the south lightning split the sky. In another hour it was crashing on all sides of the Akron, but she continued to ride steadily. By 11 p.m., the lashing of wind and rain became severe. When the executive officer...

There were weird cloud effects, mysterious lumps and sworls, curious beasts, grotesque faces, incised lines like vines and tendrils. Not a few were extremely effective. Outstanding fact about these colorful patterns was that they were produced not by brush or other tool but by the children's own chubby hands smearing liquid pigment on paper...
