About dawn the landlady jumped up in bed as a volley of shots rattled the window panes. Feet thudded down the stairway. A voice cried: "Hell, that's enough -come on." The front door slammed. From a window the landlady saw two men disappear inside a maroon sedan, watched ihe car slip away in the half-light. Then she called the speakeasy.

Crewmen go to their stations within the ship's envelope, each performing his first duty of searching a prescribed area for stowaways. Then, with the ship moored in midfield, the first flight guests climb up the little stairway into the control cabin: Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams, Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics David Sinton Ingalls, Rear Admiral William Adger Moffett, President Paul Weeks Litchfield of Goodyear-Zepplin, his vice president Designer Karl Arnstein, and many another. In all there are 113 persons aboard, more than a dirigible has ever carried...
