“SHENANDOAH” HAS A
SUCCESSFUL CRUISE 

The navy dirigible Shenandoah, which sailed up the Hudson river on Tuesday to hover over the capital city for a time during the centenary celebration and then proceeded west across the state to Buffalo and returned over Pennsylvania to its quarters at Lakehurst, N. J., was successfully brought into its hangar Wednesday morning.
The greatest of airships had been in the air 23 hours, had traveled 1,100 miles, and had used over three tons of gasoline. 

Commander Lansdowne said the maximum elevation on the trip was 5,000 feet over the mountains of Pennsylvania where the Shenandoah encountered “bumpy” air. On the return from Buffalo a thunderstorm was encountered and the course was changed several times in an hour and a half.
