Zeppelin Cruise Encounters Rough Weather On Return
Passengers aboard the German airship endured high winds and rough seas on the return trip from Jerusalem to Germany. Dr Eckener warned of danger as the craft faced a 150 foot drop and near surface exposure above the Dead Sea. Medical aid was reported for a back injury suffered during the voyage. Nearby, a Spencerport girl aged 13 learned to swim after a month and eight days and completed a 1.5 mile Lake Keuka crossing.
