MADE DISTANCE OF 5 MILES
Bly, Covered the Distance in Little
More Than Five Minutes.
Had Slight Accident
at Start

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 15.-Eugene d.
Ely. the aviator. made the first sue
cessful flight from the deck of naval
vessel when his Curtis biplane was
started from q temporary launching
platform on the forward deck OF the
scout cruiser Birmingham, which was
anchored in Hampton Roads, on Old
Point Comfort. II was the most spec
tacular flight ever seen In this coun-
try.
After many hours OF preparation Ely
finally climbed into his machine. He
had been delayed for several hours by
furrles of hail and rain. He was anx-
ious. however, to start In spite OF the
adverse weather conditions. Finally
his aeroplane was started down the
platform. which was inclined at an an
gle of about FIVE degrees. His machine
gathered momentum rapidly, Ely max
ing a slight miscalculatlon in controll-
ing the levers, which made his ma
chine dart down toward the water.
The wheels to the tip Of his pro
peller Just barely touched the water.
He succe, ded In righting the machine
and by skillful maneuvering OF the
control levers It darted upward like a
seagull. Ely rose to height OF about
100 feet and aew about fye miles to-
ward Wllloughby Spit, just opposite
Old Point Comfort, where he landed
safely. During the fight biting wind
and rain prevailed. which prevented
the aviator from identifying the land
marks.
Machine Touched Water.
It was Elys original intention to
Ay from the deck OF the Birmingham
to tho Norfolk navy yard. a much
greater distance, but he was prevented
by the adverse weather conditions.
AS his machine touched the water
the spray flew into his goggles. almost
binding him, which prevented him
from continuing the flight to the navy
yard. His propeller blade was also
slightly Clipped by contact with the
water. but not sufficiently, however, to
interfere with the fight.
Every spectator on the naval vessels
and the other craft which were gath
cred in the roads breathed hard for a
moment when it looked as II the ma
chine would be unable to rise from
the surface OF the water. Ely had no
dificulty, however, in managing the
machine. and sent 1t upward by sud-
denly fitting the elevaung planes.
They responded instantly and the ma
chine travelled swiftly upward in al
most a straight line to Willoughby
Split
He saw the land directly ahead OF
Willouehby Split and descended there
without difficulty. He covered about
Ave miles in a little more than five
minutes. His machine Travelled at the
rate of about ffty-hye miles an hour. A
launch from the scout cruiser picked
Ely up and placed him on board the
destroyer Roe, on which he returned
to the Norfolk navy yard.

trious work is what has made this great

always be ever ready to do your share

not be industrious. Women also mast
be industrious. and the working woman
always commands and should demand
much more respect than the idle woman"
