BERLIN Il WINNER
GERICkE LANDS IN WILDERNESS
U~NINJURED, BUT FAR FROM
HAUNTS OF MAN.
LOST IN THE WILDERNESS
Has to Travel Long Before Being Able
to Find a Telegraph Station.
Escapade Is Similar to Two
Others Which BefeII Him.

Kansas City, Mo. - In winning
the James Gordon Bennett trophy by
travelling 408 miles in the interna-
tional balloons race which started from
this city, Lieutenant Hans Gericke,
pilot of the Berlin ii, was lost to the
world for the third time.
After all the other entries in the
race had been located, a telegram vas
sent by the Aero club of Kansas City
to Fred c.. Ainsworth, adjutant gen
eral of the United States army, ask
ing that all life saving stations, sig
nal corps and others in government
service in the Great Lakes region be
requested to look for the German bal
loon and give assistance TO its Occu-
pants when found.
Shortly after this telegram was sent
a message was received from Lieu
tenant Gericke telling of his landing
at ~Ladysmith, Wis. Gericke and his
aide, f. o. bunker, who came from
Germany with the pilot, landed in a
wilderness uninjured.
Lieutenant Gericke was also con-
sidered lost last year in the interna-
tional race which started from St.
Louis. In the German balloon Dussel-
dorf II, he was in the air AZ hours,
travelling LOO miles and landing in
the wilderness of Canada, from which
he and his aide emerged four days
later after a thrilling adventure and
narrow escapes from starvation.
G~ericke's second ~escapade of this
kind occurred last summer when he
went up from Berlin in the German
elimination race and drifted out over
the North sea. He was sighted in
England, but vas again lost from view
and finally landed in France.
The nearest rival of the German
balloon in this years race was the
Buckeye, piloted by Lieutenant Frank
Lahm of the United States army. 1t
landed near La Crosse, Wis, $40 miles
from Kansas City. Lahm and his aide,
j. c. Wade, Jr., landed in a swamp,
suffering greatly from the cold. After
having passed over Chicago and drift
ed out owe Lake Michigan, they met
a southwark current which changed
their course completely. They tried
to rise above this, but succeeded only
in finding a current which carried
them westward. They were both eX-
hausted with their nine-hour vigil and
it was decided that they land.
Hunnewell, who went up as aide to
Arthur T. Atherholt, pilot of the Penn
sylvania, says that when they decided
to come down their valve failed to
work and they resorted to the rip
cord at a height of 5000 feet. The
balloon fell like a rocket and nit
the ground with terrific force.
In winning this years race. Ger
many has taken the Bennett cup from
America, who would have held it per-
manently if this cOuntry's representa-
tives had been victorious. America
had won the championship for two
successive years and a victory this
year would have ended this interna-
tional series with a clean sweep for
American b~alloonists. The next race
will be held in Germany.

An Airboat.

The aeroplane is an airboat rather
than a flying machine, says St Mich
olas. The only action of the bird that
It initiates Is the birds soaring, in
nearly the same sense in which a boat
floats or a duck swims. With the
duck. however, there is one difference.
It shares the balloon principle. be-
cause it's body will not sink when it
stands still, whereas the aeroplane
will fall unless it is constantly urged
forward. The duck is lighter than it's
bulk of water, as the balloon is light
er than it's own bulk of air. To call
an aeroplane a flying machine is
therefore exactly the same as TO call
a boat a swimming machine keeping
in mind the swimming of the duck
and neglecting that of fishes and of
human beings)
