Story of the Trip.

New York, Oct. 19.-The failure OF
the attempt to reach Europe by air
from Atlantic City is blamed by Wal
ter Wellman on the balloon equilibra-
tor balancing DEVICE.
He-was forced to abandon the at
tempt after flying for about 1,0O0
miles and when 3T5 miles from shore
He and his crew were rescued by the
Royal Mail steamship Trent, Captain
Downs commanding. No attempt was
made to save the balloon, which as
soon as 1t had been relieved of its oc-
cupants shot upward and was soon
lost from view.
The members of the crew command
ed by Wellman were Melvin Vaniman,
chief engineer; f. Murray Simon, navi-
eating officer; Jack Irwin, wireless
operator; John Aubert, engineer, and
Albert Louis Loud.
after passing Nantucket on Sunday
morning we made an estimated 140
miles east northeast, drifting with
fresh breeze, without motor" says
Wellman, according to the New York
World. sIn the afternoon the wind
was westerly, and at p. m. our ap-
proximate position was latitude AZ
north, longitude 81 west here.
'.The wind shifted to northwest and
blew thirty miles an hour, the Amer
lea drifting at twenty-five miles an
hour. The equilibrator pulled hard,
riding over seas, jerking and shocking
the ship and setting up rolling motion
which threatened total destruction.
ut was dreadful night, but the en-
tire crew was calm and even cheerful.
We were greatly exhausted.
I'VE saw the Trent two hours away.

boat in the morning instead of wait

This maneuger was executed cleverly,

intensity and rapidly falling barome-
ters.
The orange crop and vast trucking
industry in that territory were ruined.
Jacksonville sustained heavy property
damage. Along the eastern coast
many lives have been lost and the
property damage Is great.
At st. Augustine houses in the busi-
ness section were flooded at low tide,
with a promise Of immense damage to
business property at food tide.

ing barometer, damage to roofs, etc.

pect to restore communication with
