quired that the airship start from the vi

trip occupied forty minutes. On the next

lapse, ITS occupant barely escaping death
when he fell into the courtyard of a
hotel.
Immediately. NJ. Sa~ntos-Dumont ordered
another airship built, and with this he made
the trip around Eiffel tower in twenty-nipe
minutes. thirty seconds. But the terms of
the contest required. that the anchor rope

attendant within the time limit. A stiff
breeze was blowing and Santos-Dumont,
after he had almost touched ground in his
own ground. had to sheer off to keep from
being blown against a building. That oc-

tons had been satisfied and the money was
