THRILLING STORY OF RESCUE
DirigibIe Seems Sinking Into Sea
as Steamer Leaves 1t
to Fate
ASSOCIATED Press)

NEW YORK, oct. 19.-Walter Well
man and his five companions were
landed here this afternoon by the
steamship Trent, which picked them
up at sea after they had abandoned
their dirigible balloon America and
failed in the first attempt ever made
to cross the Atlantic through the air.
A bruised right hand, which Well
man carried in a sling, was the only
physical injury that resulted from
their long voyage of approximately
900 miles, and a rescue the like of
which is unknown to all history
None of the aeronauts expressed re-
gret for the loss of the America.
They agreed that it had served its pur-
pose. All stand ready to renew the
attempt as soon as Wellman and his
engineers find a way to conquer the
difficulties that brought their first
trip to its thrilling end last Tuesday
morning, 400 miles southeast of Sandy
Hook Standing on the deck of the
Trent, Wellman made this statement:
1--WE thought we could not get along
without the equilibrator. Now we find
we could not get along with it, Our
plans for the future are indefinite un-
til we find something that will do
what we thought the equilibrator
would do"
TELLS CAUSE OF FAILURE
The "eauilibrator" to which Well
man attributes the failure of his voy-
age, was a series of tanks containing
gasoline, which floato in the water
and was attached to the airship by
long rope. Its purpose, in addition
to storing gasoline and serving as a
wireless ground" was to keep the
balloon steady, compensating for the
expansion and contraction of gas due
to changes in temperature which
would have made the America rise
and sink erratically.
The Americas experience proved
that this floating tail, Jerking at the
delicately poised airship, made 1t im-
possible to steer or make headway in
the desired direction. and severely
weakened the structure. To find an
other means of compensating for this
unavoidable change in the volume of
gas is the problem to which Wellman
and his engineer, Melvin Vaniman,
will now devote their attention
The direct cause of abandonment of
the America was exhaustion of the
supply of gasoline, which had to be
thrown out to save the ship. When
the crew abandoned the balloon only
enough was left to last twenty-four
hours

Wellman IfieQ TO grasp Iopc
thrown from the Trent and the rope
got twisted about his hand. Before
he could loosen 1t it nearly tore off
his little finger and badly bruised the
rest of the hand.
The other members OF the Americas
crew said they felt as well as ever,
and they looked it. They are: Melvin
Vaniman, engineer; j. Murray Sim
mons, navigator; ]. X. Irwin, wireless
operator, and Albert ]. Loud and John
Auiert, air sailors. There was also
the gray kitten, so pampered by the
woman passengers aboard the Trent
that her sides bulged with feeding.
The thick fog over New York bay
this morning forced the Trent to an
chor off Sandy Hook until early in the
afternoon. Meanwhile a party had
taken tug and gone as far as the
quarantine station to meet the Amer
ica's crew. In this party were Mrs.
Wellman, Mrs. Van4man, Mrs. Leroy
Chamberlain Wellman's married
daughter; his three unmarried daugh-
ters, and Mrs. Sarah Loud, mother Of
Mrs. vaniman and of Albert Loud.
MESSAGES ARE FLASHED
When the Trent's passengers around
Wellrnan caught sight of the women
aboard the tug they cheered. After
the Wellman party had boarded the
tug, Wellman stood with his arms
about his wife and one of his daugh-
in cheers for the Trent and her cap
tain, Charles e. Down.
1t was the Morse lamp, working it's
message through the darkness of
Tuesday morning, that first attracted

steamer Trent to the distressed air.

the airship was made out against the
moonlit sky. Captain Down vas called
out of his berth.
"Helpg Help!" was the message the
white electric lamp on the America
was signaling to the steamer.
Then the wireless was called into
use, and between Louis M. Ginsberg,
operator on the Trent, and Jack K.
Irwin, the operator in the lifeboat
suspended below the gas chamber of
the America, passed series OF mes
sages that will stand in history as
the first wirelN s communication be-
tween a ship at sea and a ship in the
air. Here are the messages, copied
from Ginsbergs record on the Trent
Trent-"Do you want our assistance?
America-"Yes, come at once. In
distress. We are drifting. Not under
control"
Trent--"What do you want us
to do?"
America-"Come ahead full speed,
but keep astern, as we have heavy
tail"
Trent-"O. K. Am standing by. Wire
less in case of trouble"
America3"You will pick us up at
daylight. You will be better able to
see us then"
Arnerica-"Come in close and put
bow of your ship under us as we will
drop a line. But do not stop your
ship, as you will capsize us Who
are you and where are you bound
for?"
Trent-"St Steamship Trent for New
York"

ASSOCIATED Press)

CHICAGO, Oct 19.-Stockholders of
the Illinois Central Railroad company
We're given a lively hour and half at
their annual meeting today through the
efforts of Attorney Maxwell Edgar
Holders representing 7S4866 shares of
stock were present. Mr. Edgar arrived,
armed with proxies for sixty shares,
which enabled him to take part in the
meeting. He was accompanied by two
deputy sheriffs, who added to the con-
fusion by serving subpoenas during
every lull in the meeting on the vari-
Gus directors.
The subpoenas were in a suit for
$40, 600 900 damages, which Mr.. Edgar,
constituting himself an attorney for the
road, started in the circuit court today,
when he filed praecipe in the case.
The defendants to the suit are the di-
rectors of the road, whom Mr.. Edgar
seeks, to hold responsible for alleged
financial loss through car repair graft,
general mismanagernent and alleged re-
batting.
BUILDING EXITS GUARDED
While the two deputies were making
things interesting in the meeting, half
a dozen others guarded exits from the
Park Row building, Mr.. Edgar fearing
that some of the directors might at
tempt to evade service.
This precaution proved superfluous.
Three resolutions were introduced by
the militant attorney. Ali were lost by
overwhelming votes He denounced the
present management of the road, made
the charge that its directors are in
competent, that its financial statements
are juggled, and that its officials are
dishonest and violating the interstate
commerce law.
His first resolution was in support of
these charges, and called for an inde-
pendent investigation of the road by a
committee of prominent stockholders.
He was voted down, 7S416O shares to
Gal. A second resolution demanded that
all directors who are not residents OF
Illinois be ousted, on the ground that
the constitution of the state prohibits
the present proportion of outsiders on
the board. This resolution was voted
down without the formality of a roll
call
