FIRST STORY OF RESCUE
Wireless Message From Steamer Trent
to The Associated Press.

On Board Steamer Trent, October Is
(By United Wireless to New York;
The crew of the airship America in
abandoning their craft, lowered them
selves into the life boat, which swung
beneath 1t. They then cast the life
boat off and were afoat on the sea
The airship, relieved of the weight Of
the life boat, sped up high into the
air. and was rapidly blown away. The
transfer of the Wellman party from
the life boat to the Trent was effected
with much difficulty
At 4:3O A. NJ. to-day the steamer
Trent sighted the airship America, and
wireless communication was imme
diately established. Irwin, the oper-
ator on the airship, informed Ginsburg,
the operator on the Trent, that the
airship Americas crew wished to
abandon the balloon. Wireless COM
munication was kept up from this
time on between the airship and the
steamer.
Daylight was rapidly approaching,
and the Trent was requested to fol-
low the America, which was then drift
ing at the rate of twelve miles an
hour
After council held on the airship
it was decided that the only means OF
rescue was the life boat. But this
was such hazardous undertaking that
much time elapsed before the ma
noeuvring was executed, as the tail
of the airship, consisting of tanks of
gasolene and wooden blocks, threat
ened to capsize the life boat as it was
dropped from the balloon into the
water.
This danger was at last overcome.
and the operation was carried out
with success. In the operation the

A moderate sea was running at the
time, and after some slight difficulty
the crew was taken on board. together
with the life boat, at 1880 "A. NJ.
All the members of the crew are
we'll after thrilling experience. Wire
less telegraphy has distinguished itself
by showing the great assistance In
accomplishing the work of rescue.
The Morse lamp signaling also took
great part in the communication be-
tween Jack Irwin and officers of the
steamer Trent, which gave the signals
leading to the rescue.
The crew was picked up in latitude
35.43 north, longitude 62.1S west,
where the America was abandoned
Wellman said that the airship had
been blown far out of her course, so
that it was inadvisable to proceed
The foregoing is the first story Of
the thrilling rescue and was sent by
wireless direct from the steamer
Trent to the Associated Press.

aboard the Trent endeavored to catch
Just as 1t appeared probable that the
line would be caught a gust of wind
whirled us away, carrying the line out
from the steamer.
Many times the line was lowered
and there was scramble on board the
Trent to make 1t fast. Each time the
wind would catch us and push away.
Finally the line was caught and made
fast aboard the vessel, but strong
guest Of wind paired 1t, and tore us
away. The Trent followed US, undis-
couraged. but 1t was evident that this
plan would not do. We gave the sig

performed with the greatest skill.

much harm. almost put an end to our

impulse Of the waves 1t was flashing
