3feA over the Atlantic ocean in

cess, the very fact that such
an effort was seriously made is IN it
self victory. The Wellman fight
broke two records. 1t was by far and
away the longest journey ever made
over the water either by balloon or
an aeroplane. Indeed, it was the first
real oversee voyage ever attempted
since all other flights of this descrip-
ton We're only across narrow necks Of
the sea. Not only so, but the America
broke all records for sustained fight
on either sea or land, having been In
the air nearly three days and nights.
These points must be placed to Well
mans credit-that he had the courage
to undertake feat which the whole
world said was impossible and came
as near as he did to Its accomplish
ment that he risked life in the inter-
ests Of science, that he provided his
airship with safeguards by means OF
which the whole crew was rescued and
that he discovered the weaknesses Of
his craft and made future fight across
the Atlantic possible
Aeroplane May Succeed.
It has been said that it lis better to
aim at a lofty mark than an inferior
one, even if the arrow falls short.
Wellman aimed at Europe and fell
into the Atlantic ocean some hundreds
of miles east of Norfolk, Va. If his
failure to reach the goal proves any
thing it is that the aeroplane and not
the dirigible must be the future means
of air travel. The gas bag is too much
at the mercy of the winds. The dirigi-
BILE is only balloon equipped with
propellers and rudder and has all the
defects Of the balloon.

For eighteen carat, standard weight.

the one in which Mr.. Wellman did not
fly to the north pole. After trying sew
eral summers the farthest he got from
the balloon house was something like
sixty miles. Then the equilibrator or
something broke and the trip was of.
But it made a lot of good newspaper
and magazine stories while 1t lasted,
likewise several lectures which Mr..
Wellman delivered before European
and American scientific bodies. He
might have been trying for the pole
yet had Peary not taken 1t away from
him. Then there was nothing left but
the Atlantic ocean, and Wellman hur-
ried to 1t to be ahead Of all Corners.
