Against AVIATOR LANDS ABOARD Eugene Ely, In Curtiss Biplane. Performs Great Eeat. Alights Easily On Platform and Stops With Room to Spare—Returns to Shor«. Ssn Francisco., Jan. 19 Historjf was made In the science of war today when Eugene Ely, the brilliant Or« gon aviator, dtopped from the »k-‘H Upon the afterdeck of the cruiser Pennsylvania, at 11 o’clock thia morn ing Mrs Ely was the first to greet her husband as he alighted. She climbed through the intricate rigging of the biplane to where her husband sat stoically, and Impressed two klssea on his face. Then she took from her corsage a glowing bouquet of Cali fornia violets and quickly fastened them to the aeroplane. It was the first time in history that an airship alighted on an ocean craft.

In leaving the runway th«» biplane did not dip with the downward Incline of the approach, but arose under his gulldlng hand to a height of several hundred feet, then to a thousand f«-«t. and winged ita way southward over Hunters Point at a sjs-ed of 60 miles an hour. In 12 minutes he alighted ou Selfridge Field, thereby completing the not able feet. Ely was sei led by the cheeriug sol diers ot the Thirteenth Infantry and hoisted on their shouidera.
