AIRSHIP And LINER COLLIDE
Nobody Hurt but Commuters Have
Thrilling Story to Tell.
Pilot Usee Ordinary Marine signals
but Could Not Act the
CraslN


New York. July T. here s a story OF
the first collision so-weea ship OF the
water and a ship OF T.e - and there Is
any number Of eye-witnesses among Jer-
sey shore commuters If you don't believe
Philip Yanbuskirk. pilot OF the steamboat
Monmouth-who has a fine reputation as
an honest man. although he is a sailor
man.
It all happened OF Bay Ridge the other
day. when the Monmouth was making
her regular afternoon trip 10 Atlantic
Highlands. Something black was seen BY
the honest pilot. travelling an uncertain
course IN, the air over the Crescent Ath-
letic clubhouse on the Bay Ridge shore.
and a strong east wind was hurrying the
strange visitor out across the bay
Say. Cap. are those Wright brothers
around here?" queried Vanbuskirk.
NO. What's the matter? Hug that
buoy closer" replied Capt. Cameron.
Since the pilot was not given 70 "seein'
things" and didn't want 10 get that repu-
tation II he had made a mistake. he kept
qufet about the thing in the air until Il
got closer.
Sure as you live. cap. we are going to
have a collision with an seroplane!" he
finally exclaimed.
And. true enough, something large and
angular looking was heading % cut on
the steamboat Coming closer, & was
made out 70 be large, scientifically con
structed kite that was cutting up high
inks In the various air currents. When
II was close ahead Vanbuszirk. from force
OF habit. sounded the whistle 70 signify
thar he would cross the air crafts bow
OF course. that did not bother the kite a
little bit; IL kept right on its course.
At this juncture. when the passengers
were fearful that theE were going 10 be
rammed by the crazy kite, the gilded
eagle on the top OF the pilot-house came
70 the rescue. Now nobody except fish-
nawk intoxicated BY moss bunker OIL. who
once made love 10 this gilded bird. ever
suspected IL was alive. But this same
brilliant lookout caught the kite, Just as
nice as you please. on the end Of its long
gilded beak. and held L until a deckhsnd
climbed 10 the top OF the pilot-house and
yanked It away.
Pilot Vanbuskirk has the kite because
he saw II first" But he'll return Il 10
