NEW YORK. October 1S.-The attempt
of the Wellman airship America to cross
the Atlantic ocean came to thrliilns
and disastrous close today, when the
British mail steamer Trent picked up
Wellman and his crew from the wreck
of the airship 315 miles off the North
Carolina coast.
The news of the rescue came i'm two
wireless messages from Capt Down Of
the Trent, one reporting to the company
agents here and another informing the
New York Times of the result of the eX
pedition. in which it had taken leading
part Both wireless messages practically
told the same story.
Sighted in Early Morning.
Capt Downs reported that at ) o'clock
this morning he first sighted the airship In
distress Signals of distress and calls for
help were given. For three hours the
Trent unanswered in the heavy seaway
to get alongside of Wellman and his
wrecked companions.
The entire party were finally taken
aboard. The cat also, which was taken
along as the mascot, shared in the rescue.
Capt. Downs reports all the members of
the crew we'll.
The America was abandoned where the
rescue occurred in latitude 35.43, longi-
tude 6S.1S.
This brings to a climax one Of the most
remarkable flights by an arshp ever
undertaken That the climax was not
accompanied by tragedy Is considered
a matter of exceptionally good fortune,
as the -iirigible had been blown far away
from the usual lanes Of transatlantic
travel and was almost outside the range
of the coast steamers plying between
ports of the United States, Cuba and
South America.
Anxiety Had Been Felt.
The wonderment and awe which were
inspired Saturday the dirgible first
disappeared into the fog banks hanging
over the ocean had gradually turned to
anxiety and serious apprehension as to
the ultimate result of the experiment
The range of wireless had swept the
entire north Atlantic, bringing no word
from the airship for two days
The last word came at 12:+o Sunday on
Nantucket 1t was forty-four hours after
this that the rescue was accomplished by
the steamer Trent.
All Records Broken.
The America has undoubtedly broken
all previous records. both as to time in
air and distance covered.
The previous time record. that of Count
Zeppelin, was thirty-seven hours. The
America time up to O'Clock this morn
ing would be three full days, or seventy
two hours.
The previous distance record was that
of Count Zeppelin, of $40 miles. The
Americas distance covered is somewhat
conjectural, but it appears to be about

WeIIman's Crew Is Loyal,
With Heart for Adventure

NEW YORK, October 1s.-There were
six friends aboard the America who
shared an experience such as no other
six men ever have gone through. How
they came to be banded together for the
exploint was one of the interesting stories
of the balloons hangar days at Atlantic
City.
Always, Wellman was the nucleus OF
the group. and his north polar excursions
were the things that attracted the other
men to his standard. Whatever the world
said of the trips, those who shared them
with Wellman knew in what spirit they

ones were eager to cast their lot with

Mr.. Vaniman started to rebuild Well

PRESIDENT IN PERIL
ON ELLIS ISLAND TRIP!
Cutter With Executive Aboard
Has Narrow Escapes
From Collisions.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-President
Taft's visit today to Ellis Island, where
he made thorough inspection Of the
government immigrant station had rather
an exciting Introduction.
The immigrant cutter Immigrant, on
which the President and his party was
en- route to the island. had several mar
row escapes from collisions in the Hud-
son river during the thick fog that
prevailed.
Just as the Immigrant approached
the lower bay the cutter ran into a
regular nest Of footing ferryboats, nos
ing their way to and from the Jersey
shore. In the murk the little steamer
was several times seemingly on the
point of being run down. and once had
to make an exceedingly sharp turn to
avoid a collision with the Erie ferry
boat Goshen.
Mr.. Taft, who was the guest of Com
missioner of immigration William Will
liams on the trip, had a somewhat unique
experience after his arrival on the island.
This was where he officially sat, as it
were as an associate judge with Com
missioner General of Immigration Daniel
]. Keefe in a number of immigration ap-
peal cases, which were heard in private
in the commissioners office. Mr.. Taft
was given the opportunity to hear these
cases as an example of problems the
immigration service continually has to
contend with.
Meets Otto Barnard.
1t was expected the presidential party
would lunch on the Immigrant, but the
plan was changed and luncheon was
served on the island. the function afford
ing an occasion for the President to
meet Otto T. Barnard, republican cam
didate for the New York mayoralty last
year. and a number of other guests of
Commissioner Williams. Secretary Nagel
Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, who had come over from Wash
ington for the trip, was one Of the party.
President Taft went over the island
plant thoroughly and noted the crowded
conditions. 1t was the desire on the part
of the immigration service to show the
President the need of enlarged quarters.
Mr.. Taft this afternoon. on his return
to the city. expected to see Ezra P. Prem
tice. chairman of the republican state
committee. and Ralph Peters, president
Of the Long Island railroad.
