The Landing Of the Pilgrims in 1921

to accommodate the 102 voyagers who made
the journey in similar quarters 300 years
ago. AS a matter of fact, on the present
occasion 800 jammed the decks of the
diminutive craft
Yet here they were again. these Pilgrims,
or. rather, descendants of them, all clad in
the costume of 1920; the tall poke hats OF
the men. their knee breeches and gray
woollen stockings. the flowing skirts of the
women folks. the whole giving serious
gray effect, but not without bit of color,
for the clean white collars and caps of the
women added brighter note
In the rehearsal of the landing a few days
ago there came incident that revealed, to
some measure, the spirit In which the under
taking was being done When the Mayf1ower
had come to anchor 1t was discovered that
the shallop, towed from Boston astern, had
shipped water heavily during the brief voy-
age and when II came time to use il, 1t was
awash almost to her gunwale.
1t was the plan of the pilgrims" to go
ashore in this shallop, just as did their fore
fathers before them. For this was the shall
lop, reassembled. in which the Pilgrims of
1920 actually landed and IL was too strong
a sentimental feature to be discarded lightly
Launches, meantime had come alongside to
land the party.

First Vertical Flight
Ever Successfully Made
On May 25, at the Marqufs's estate at
Buena Surete a short distance northwest of
barcelona, the helicopter made ten success
ful flights each time rising about yard, re-
manning aloft, maintaining perfect stability
and then settling vertically to the ground.
Late last month the Marquis tested the hell
copter's "stick" and found that it responded
perfectly. This machine consists of a mina-
ture automobile of the compact racing type.
Rising from point almost in the centre of
the auto" there Is an axis-a pole. On this
pole there are two propellers lying parallel
with the ground. But instead of being pro-
pellers they are wings like those OF an ordi-
nary airplane, with the regular wires and
struts.
In short, the helicopter looks like four BIZ
planes joined at the mddes, making two
crosses, with motors taken out. and stuck
one above the other on an axis rising from
the tonneau of a small motor car.
The control of the machine In the seat OF
the automobile, allows the pilot to control

the Pescaras engineers that the -helicopter
can fly on a horizontal line as well as ver-

have almost the same angle with the ground
