AIR SHIP SAILS IN LOS ANGELES,
The "CaIifornia Arrow" Has a Success
full Trial.

uOi bTIdIs
Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 27.-Captain
BaldWin's airship, California Arrow y
driven by Roy Knabenshue, who made
several successful flights in the same
machine from the worlds fair grounds
at st. Louis, was given it's first trial
IN California Sunday and was success
full with the single exception of its
failure to land at the starting point.
A landing was effected half a mile
away without damage to the machine
and it was safely towed back to it's
anchorage.
The Arrow started from Chutes park
baseball grounds, in the southeastern
part of the city. at 3:17 p. M, sailed
with the wind northeastward for
distance of between and 10 miles.
thence eastward for two miles, and re-
turned in the face of a IL mile gale
to point directly above the starting
point, but owing to the supply of
gasoline running short, was unable to
effect a landing at exactly the desired
spot.
From the time the airship arose
from the baseball grounds until it was
safely anchored at PicO and Stanford
streets, it was in fight an hour and
13 minutes, and in that time sailed a
distance of probably 20 miles. When
flying with the wind the Arrow travel
ed at speed of 20 miles an hour, and
in returning directly in the face of the
strong southeastern gale was able to
make a rate of speed reckoned at be-
tween six and eight miles an hour.
The airship was maneuvered by
Knabenshue in every direction, re-
spending readily to it's rudder, cir
cling and turning in either direction,
sailing directly in the face of the wind
or at any angle. and rising and dipping
as the operator directed. The Arrow
rose at times to height of probably
5000 feet or more, with Knabenshue
regulating the height by shifting his
weight and raising or. lowering the
bow Of the craft as he desired to
ascend or descend.

the interior of the fort despite the des-
perate resistance of the Russians.
The first charge made against the
wall of sandbags proved unsuccessful,
but charge followed charge until mid
night when the last corner of the Rus.

The fighting was desperate in the
extreme, with bayonets and dynamite

Garrison Died Fighting.


Though the numbers engaged and
the numbers of fighting men were
small the assault and defense were
more furious than any in the previous
history of the siege of Port Arthur
With the exceptions noted the garri.
son died fighting to the last man with
wonderful determination.
The final rushes of the Japanese
were irresistible. Their wounded re,
fused to retire and insisted on con.
tinuing the fighting, saying that they
had vowed to take the fort and that
they must proceed.
Four field guns and three machine
guns were captured and over 300 Rus
slams were killed.
The skilful manner in which the
second assault was executed prevented
heavy losses and insured the capture
OF the fort, which, though not the
largest, Is one Of the strongest of the
eastern fortified ridges. The fort is
important to the Japanese as it opens
a way up the gorge between it and
the eastern part of Kekwan mountain.
and is the easiest point at which to
protect the principal line of fortifica-
tions for the purpose of gaining a
foothold on the higher hills of the
ridge. The stubborn resistance made
by the Russians was due to the fact
that the captured fort was the key of
the position at this point of their
western flank.
