and its navigator from serious injury
when the airship alighted at the end
of Riverside drive.
Goodale's airship was larger than any
of the others he has been using. and
1t was necessary to get it balanced
for flight which the aeronaut contem-

In readiness to return to Jersey.
Regardless OF the remonstrauces Of
his friends, who had followed him
across the river on boat, he TOOK his

almost to a point over the New Yurfz

caught him.
For a space of five minutes he was
visible to those on shore and on the
warship, and on the latter preparations
were made for lowering q boat to pick
him up should he drop into the river.
While guesses were still being hazard

turned and shot north upstream and
disappeared in the heavy fog which
rapidly enveloped both banks Of fhe
