The best speed for a single hour was 43 1/2 miles.
COUNT AT HELM
Count Zeppelin was at the helm when the Deutschland arose at Friedrichshafen at 3 o’clock this morning and sailed away on the trip that was to mark in epoch in aviation. The passengers were some of the directors of the Hamburg-American Steamship company and the German stock company, joint owners of the dirigible, and guests. They occupied the mahogany-walled and carpeted cabin situated between the gondolas and from the windows of which they viewed the scenery as the aerial car swept along. Count Zeppelin steered for the greater part of the distance.
