SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Nov. 81 1896.
That d successful airship has been per-
fected by an inventor in this city il borne
cut by very good authority. Dozens of
PERSONS have be en- found who have seen the
ship novering about their houses during
Several nights. The airship however. is
still. surrounded with the grea test mystery.
Ike inventor cannot be found and the
home of the airship is unknown. The sup
preston OF the inventors name is said by
George D. Collins, wko says he is his at
to rney, to be due to the fact that patents
must be 5. cured before the mechanism be-
comes public property.
Information from many cities around
San Francisco show that the ship has been
seen. The Sacramento correspondent of a
LEGAL paper telegfaphi that what was APP
paIentiy a la-ge arc light passed over that
city at half-past o'clock this afternoon.

saw It. This is the description given by
numerous other persons who nave seen the
a,rshp. Nc observers have seen the ship at
close enough range to describe all the
plCyer ,eHts and its shape, but many have
recognized the outline of cigar-shaped
vessel.
What the Lawyer Says.
Concerning the inventor and his inveu-
ton, Mr.. Collins. his attorney, said: TT is
true that there is at last a successful air.
bringing 1t before the world. l have known
about it time, and have been acting as
attorney for the inventor. He is a very
wealthy man, who has been studying the
subject of flying machines fifteen years
He came Eere seven years ago from Maine
to perfect mis- experiments, away from the
eyes of other inventors. During the last
five years he has expended $1DOUUO on the
ship.
application for patent is now in Wash
il Eton but few details can be made public
for fear the plan may be stolen"
l saw the machine one night last week
at the Inventors home. 1t is made of
metal, 1870 feet long, and is built to carry
fifteen persons. 1t has two canvas wings,
ard rudder shaped like birds WINGS The
inventor climbed into the machine, and
for a moment began to ascend gently. The
wings tapped slowly as the ship rose. They
moved faster the ship began TO move
against the wind. 1t was under perfect
control all the time.
How 1t Wns Operated.
When it reached the height of ninety feet
the inventor shouted to me that he was 60
/ ing to make a series of circles and then de-
| scend. He 5began by making a circle 100
yards in diameter He gradually narrowed
the circle until the machine was within
| thirty feet of the ground. Then it fell
straight down, gracefully. and struck the
earth lightly. La a few days the mystery
| will be done away with. The inventor will
fly the machine directly over San Francisco
| in broad daylight. 1 cannot yet tell where
| for 1 am pledged to secrecy; but the fact is
| that the nfgchiHe does it's work perfectly,
ard will assound the world when displayed
