CREATES A SENSATION
Atwood. ON Boston to Washington
Aerial Journey, Creates Excitement
Among Throng of Holiday Visitors
by Anghting Near Famous Board
walk at Atlantic City.

Thousands of visitors at Atlantic
City Tuesday saw Henry N. Atwood,
after fighting heavy winds through
out his flight from New York, and
the third leg of his proposed journey
from Boston to Washington, by land
ing in his biplane on the beach front.
During his flight Atwood made three
landings for gasoline. Atwood said
that, judging from the amount OF
gasoline he had used, he must have
travelled at least $50 miles. He was
in the air more than five hours.
The distance along the coast is
about 1i5 miles. ~ hope to start
for Washington before ten o'clock in
the morning." he said. "The only
trouble had was with my gasoline
supply. After I left Governors Is
land 1 headed along the coast. A
warning whirl Of protest from my
engine as I neared Asbury Park told
me the gasoline was low. / landed
and took on five gallons.
'sWhen I rose the wind was strong.
SO took a travelling altitude of
about 1900. When I neared Tucker
my tank became dry again. bor-
rowed five gallons from the owner of
an automobile and made good get
away.
"The wind took me hard chase:
Il had been steadily rising. I en-
countered buns and air bodies that
made the going difficult. To make
matters worse, my gasoline ran out
again. 1 came down, narrowly miss
ed disaster when a puff of wind
caught the plane about a hundred
feet from the ground. / was almost
thrown from my side, as the wind got
under the wings again. When I
struck the ground, I felt the shock,
but found my machine unchanged
and continued, after taking more gas
oline, and made successful landing
here"
Atwood left Governors Island, in
New York Bay, at S:49 A. M, and
landed at Par Place, Atlantic City,
at 2:30 P. M.
Atwood's appearance created a
sensation, as it was not generally be-
lieved that he would attempt his
flight to the National Capital or that
Atlantic City would be on his route.
The Boardwalk was crowded with a
holiday crowd when he hove IN sight
and when he alighted he was cheered
by thousands of people. His landing
place was close to the Boardwalk.
His machine was in fine condition
when he finished the fight.
He left Atlantic City for Washing
ton early Wednesday morning, where
he was received with enthusiasm. He
alighted in the ground Immediately
behind the White House. Atwood
used the Washington Monument as
a guiding mark, and several dozen
square feet of dazzling white canvas
was placed on the lawn to mark the
landing place.. The Comos Club and
other scientific clubs and societies act
ed as hosts.
