Another Record by Hindenburg

Berlin, Aug. 22.

The German airship Hindenburg, which made a record journey from Lakehurst, New Jersey, to Frankfort on-Main last week, clipping more than two hours from her previous mark of 45 hr. 39 min, for a fight from the United States to Germany, has established another record when, to-day, she completed the round trip from Germany to America and back to Germany within a week.

she left Lakehurst on her return trip at 723 o'clock on Thursday morning, London time, and arrived at Prankfort at 3 am, to-day.

The Hindenburg actually crossed the Atlantic twice within five days, as she started from Frankfort 120 am, on August 17.—Reuter.
