Concerning the Land-ship
"EIiza Jane

The following yarn concerning
the land ship ELIZA Jane" and her
ingenious young skipper appeared
in Fridays issue of the Whining
ton Evening Journal:
George Mitchell, youngest son
of DR.. Samuel Chiles Mitchell,
president Of Delaware College, has
developed into quite a land-ship
navigator.
"He has constructed. and now is
giving trial trips to, a sloop that
is designed to sail on land. 1t is
built along the lines of an ice
yacht. Instead of having runners
at the ends Of the long out-riggers
and the stern, however, he has
wheels. The rig consists of a leg
o'-mutton sail, with a boomb con-
structed so the sail may be furled
quickly. The name of the craft is
Eliza Jane
"The trial course selected by
young Skipper Mitchell is South
| College Avenue, a well paved
thoroughfare extending from in
front of Old College Hall down to
the Pennsylvania railroad station.
Given a strong wind, the Eliza
Jane makes fairly good speed.
Horses in the neighborhood
have NOT yet become accustomed
to the strengthening craft COM
peting with them and automobiles
for the use of the avenue.
"'Say, young feller, what do you
think this road is s-a derned
ocean, shouted one, excited farm
er after he had succeeded in quiet
ing a horse that had threatened to
get away from him.
"The commander Of the Eliza
Jane did not reply. He was Sc
busy holding his craft to it's south,
ward course that he had on time
to- fool away with land-lubbers
Who displayed such lack of appre.
citation of twentieth century ad
vance in navigation as was repre-
sented by the Eliza Jane"
