New York, N. Y, Oct. 19.-Walter
Wellman and the members of his ILL
fated transatlantic expedition believe
a voyage in an airship across the At
lantic may yet be accomplished.
Wellman and party are aboard the
steamship Trent, whose timely arriv-
al proved the salvation of the advent
urers. The Trent will dock this after
noon.
While the object of Wellman's trip
was not accomplished he succeeded

dirigibles, being seventy-two hours in
the air and covering according to Well
man, thousand miles over rough seas
A wireless message this morning
gives further details of the rescue of
the Americas crew at sea. The Ameri-
cas- crew considers the rescue the
most exciting incident of the three
days voyage. The Trent bore down
at full speed toward the Americas
lifeboat and for n moment IL looked as
IL it would cut the little craft I'm two.
AS il was the Trent passed the life
boat so near as to dangerously rock
her and a rope thrown from the Trent
could not DE held by the Americas
crew because of the rough sea.
The life boat dropped n half mile
astern and the steamer turned i'm her
wake. When the Trent again came
alongside ropes were thrown. but were
dragged from the airship's mems
hands. The second attempt was sue
cessful and a small boat got close
enough to seize and make fast to- the
Americas lifeboat. Then the crew of
the America climbed up the steamers
rope ladder and each was gladly cheer
ed as he was helped over the rail-.
WelIman Tells of Rescue.
Wellman says that after working
well To sea Sunday, the dirigiIble was
caught i'm a thirty mile northwest blow
which carried the America clear of
her course. Night came and the equil-
ibrator kept up an incessant pounding
and threatened to sweep away the life
boat.
Wellman told the Trents passengers
the course was laid for the Azores but
the veering wind made that impossible.
The Bermudas was the next hope OF
the party. Monday night the gasoline
and damaged machinery were jetti-
soned to keep the America affoat. Ear
ly Tuesday morning the Trent was
sighted two hours away and signalled.
The America was brought down close

Thursday. A supplement forecast was
for rain In the morning, but the re-
mainder of the day cold and gloomy.
The grounds are well drained and
dry quickly, so IL is said unless rain
falls in the afternoon the field will be
good enough for a game. AS an addi-
tional precaution, however, the field
was today covered with straw and can
vas. According to rule II the game is
postponed the teams will remain in
Chicago until two games have been
played. The rules also declare the
Sunday game, IL a fifth game is neces-
sary, shall be played in Chicago re-
gardless of all else.
Thus IL 1t is impossible on account
of the weather to play tomorrow, the
game must be played off Saturday in
this city, instead of the game regular
" scheduled for Philadelphia on that
date. Rain tomorrow therefore may
mean there will be three games in sue
