Sails Against Twenty-one
Mile Wind.

KITTY HAWK. n. c.. Dec. 1e-The
highly successful flights made by Or
VILE and Wilbur Wright Thursday in
their new flying machine were made in
the face Of wind blowing at the
rate Of twenty-one miles an hour.
The spot selected for the final expert
ments was a sand hill known as XIII
Devil Hin" which is more than one
hundred feet high and is probably the
highest sand dune on the Atlantic
Coast. on one side the hill slopes
gradually to the summit while on the
other it is almost perpendicular.
The flyer was carried TO the top of
this hill. and Wilbur Wright took the
operators place. lying down at full
length in order to reduce the resistance
10 the wind. No launching apparatus
was provided. When everything was
ready Orville Wright gave the machine
a push. the engine was started. and the
flyer" started down the incline.
AS the propeller under the engine in
creased its revolutions the machine rose
steadily in the air. until it reached a
height of about sixty feet Then, pro-
PEELED by the rear propeller. the machine
was sent ahead in the face Of the wind.
and the operator was able to direct it's
fight at Will.
Maintaining a speed OF about eight
miles an hour, the machine was driven
for about three miles. Then the opera
tor selected a suitable spot on which
to land. steered the machine to It and
descended 10 the ground without the
least difficulty and without straining
the flyer at any moment.
