Blenheim hotel on the beach.
Before alighting Atwood planed up
the beach between the Million Dollar

thousands thrill. He had been in the
air for over five hours and was COM
pletely played out. The young bird
man was met by delegation of hotel
men when he stepped from his ma
chine. The enthusiastic fans" who
came from every direction, went into
a frenzy of enthusiasm and the police
reserves were necessary to keep them
from crowding too close.
Atwood was forced to descend three
times during his fight shoreward tc
take on gasoline; first at Asbury Park
later at Tuckerton and again at Venice
Park. His first supply of fifteen gal
Ions was exhausted by his constan
battle with a near-gale which impedeC
