AIRSH[P A SUCCESS.
Inventor Gets Ratified and Trip Ends
in San Francisco Bay
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


San Francisco. Oct 1s.-Dr. August Greath
made his initial trip this morning In an airshp
constructed by him In this city. Though he
finally landed in the bay. and only through
fortunate circumstances escaped death from
drowning. he succeeded in sailing about over the
city for nearly two hours. His failure to make
the trip a complete success was due TO faults in
the construction and operation of the ship, and
not to an error Of principle. His apparatus had
sufficient lifting capacity, and was under perfect
control far the steering mechanism was
concerned, but ii failed to make the Roadway
desired against air currents, owing to the lack
of driving power in the engine.
The unfortunate climax which landed the aero
naut in the bay was due to the fact that he had
not retained sufficient ballast to counteract an
unexpected expansion of gas in his balloon. ow-
ing to the unusual heat of the day. In at
tempting to relieve the pressure, he allowed the
gas to escape too rapidly. AT this time the arr
ship was an elevation of nearly half mile,
and going up 1t is said that DR.. Greth became
excited this account and got his valve cords
mixed
The balloon landed in the water about three
hundred yards from the shore of the Preside
reservation. DR.. Greth was rescued by the
crew of the Bakers Beach life saving station,
who also lowed the airship to land Beyond
the bending of the blades of of the propel-
lers and the filling of the machinery with salt
water. damage was done
Greth is a Frenchman. who has been expert
menting with balloons and airships for twenty
years. His machine resembles Santos DumontS
in appearance and principle. The motive power
is a gasolene engine, weighing five hundred
pounds The frame of the machine weighs three
hundred pounds. The balloon has a llftng ca
pacity of from eighteen hundred to two thou
mounds
