worked perfectly. turning the nose of the
great gas bag to the orth-nOrtheast
course chosen by the navigatOrs as most
likely to carry them into the steamship
lane TO Europe.
The crew of the Olive reported that
the motors were not working when they
lost sight of the America, and said there
was some trouble with the machinery.
but they were confident that il could
easily be remedied.
The first direct message from the
America was received in this city by
the United Wireless Company. 1t read:

received a message dated ION board the
airship America at sea. crossing the At

Five minutes later Wellman sent an
other message to The Times" as fol-
lows: Il I'm sending and receiving mes
sage by the Marconi wireless while the
motor is running. We are going twenty
knots an hour. Fresh northwest winds.
Fog still thick"
The next message picked up from the
air navigators was the first definite an
nouncement that they intended to keep
on across the ocean. It was addressed
to Mrs. Wellman and Mrs Vaniman.
and read:
IAN going fine Headed east-nOrth-
est. Goodby.-Wellman-V animan."
At 11:1O a m. the operator at At
lanttc City got a message from a ship at
sea stating that the America had been
sighted off Long Island going steadily.
The first direct message to reach the
a. m. It read:
Headed northeast. Ali we'll on board.
Machinery working fine. Goodby.-J. K.

At 1910 p. m. a message from Well
man himself was received at Atlantic
City, saying:
All well on board Making excellent
progress"
The first message to the hackers Of
the enterprise reached Atlantic City at
l p. m. It was addressed TO Joseph W.
Salus, president of the local syndicate
which has supported the project, and
made clear the determination of the nav
igatOrs to try to cross the ocean. 1t
read as follows:
All did nobly We are doing our best

Backer Replies Enthusiastically.
In reply Mr.. Salus handed in a mes
sage which Miller gave to the nearest
ship with a request to forward It as soon
as possible It read a follows:

achievements Of the century. Plaudits
from everybody. Our best wishes and
godspeed to yourself and Vaniman

them until we hear you have reached

seph Salus."
The first note of alarm from the Amer
lea came to Atlantic City in the shape of
a message from Welman to his son-in-
law. Arthur Chamberlain. The air navi-
gators evidently had been keeping in
close touch with all wireless MESA ges
sent out to ships, for Wellman wanted
information about a West Indian hurri-
cane which was reported coming up the
coast.
a warning had been sent out to ships
to make for ports to avoid danger, as

parts OF Bechuanaland, around Vry-
burg and Taungs, and it was not rea-
SOnable to expect these to remain
quietly by while the Beers were fl

under their very noses. So retail
iatOry movement began, which quick
" developed into condition of que
rilla warfare between tho two races.
These were the settlers who became
renowned as the FreebOoters of Bech-
uanaland, who set the rcd flag of am
archy floating over the land. Origin
ally they rose to protect their cOun-
try, but the movement quickly be-
came condition of fierce outlawry
and brutal icence. Neither person
nor p"Operty was safe I'm the cOun-
try. Bechuanaland was ablaze with a
struggle that knew not even the re-
straint of legitimate warfare.
After awhile even these desperate
tons, and n strong desire arose among
them for law and order This brought
about the birth of the two small re-
publicS-GOshen and Stelialand-with
the villages of Taungs and Vryburg
for their respective capitals. Thes.
republics were founded in the firm
belief that they would be the means
OF establishing order I'm two indepen-
dent countries. such as was their
neighbour. the Transvaal.
But during all this time there were
mighty factors ut work on either
hand of this distraught country. Prior
to the, convention of 1854, 1t was gen.
orally understood that Bechuanaland
was, II anybody's, British territory;
that. at least, Britain was to he re-
sponsible for 1t. But Bismarck, in
face OF Britain's setback at Majuba,
and seeing the outrageous condition
of the country, took his lOng-sought
opportunity. Here was the very
thing, the very state, the very excuse
he needed. He had declared a Ger
man ProtectOrate over Angra PeQuena
and found the country useless, SO he
promptly entered into a secret agree
nient with the Transvaal that his
country should take over Bechuana-
land, declaring a ProtectOrate over
the whole territory right up to the
Transvaal border, and SO shut Great
Britain out of the rich interior Of the
continent. This was to be done with
out any opposition from the Beers. 1t
was u magnificent piece of effrOntery,
the failure of which was undoubtedly
the origin OF all Germany'S bitter
pess and spleen over Britain'S later
dOings in Africa.
But 1t so happened that the boast
ed spirit OF loyalty amongst Britam's
sons was no chimera- We possessed

that his task at the moment was both
delicate and difficult. The girl be-
He knew that what he had come to
tell her would hurt, and he did not
want to hurt her. He told himself
this at the same time as he told him
sacrifice all his own schemes, all his
secret hopes-hopes which were the
result Of long planning and patient
waiting. And he was not the man to
sacrifice his own desires easily; in
fact, he was not the man to set self
aside at any time.
He knew that the next time the
girls eyes were turned in his direc-
ton he must speak, and unconscious
ly frown of annoyed perplexity
gathered upon his bronZed face. He
tried vainly to think Of an easy be-
ginning; one that would paint his at
titude in the most reasonable light,
one that would make his intentions
appear something in the manner Of
self-sacrifice, or, at least, as duty
to her as we'll as to himself.
The delicate oval face, with its
warm grey eyes. turned to him before
he had arrived at any sort Of decision,
and he found himself neck and crop
