AIRSHIP EXPLODES.
Wallman Mads Good Start, but Acd-
slsnis Bring Failurs.
Camp Wallman, Spitsenbergss, Aug.
Lfl (vis Hammerfeat, Aug. S3). Walter
Wellman'a second attempt 'to sail over
the North Pojo in a balloon has resulted
failurs. Ths giant dirigible bal
loon "AnurtjteftV" in which Mr. weu-
mas and hi party of three est out,
proceeded about 82 miles from ths
starting point, when disaster overtook
It " "
After a long preparation and wait
ing for favorabls weather, the oppor
tunity earns today, and Ifr. Wellman
decided to make ths start - It was 10
o 'clock in ths morning when ths great
airship waa brought out of Its shod and
the daring explorers took their places
in the car. 1
When tbs anchors, were east loose,
the airship ascended beautifully, the en
gine were set in motion and everything
seemed to work to perfection. Ths big
air craft was manuvered for soma time
and answered the helm perfectly.
Then its head was turned northward,
and it set oat at a speed of 85 miles an
hour. Suddenly, after having covered
32 miles, and when everything seemed
to bs going splendidly, the leather guide
rope, to -which was attached 1000
pounds of provisions and stores, broke
away. The accident occurred just as
ths airship waa nearing the pack ice of
North Spitxenbergen.
Beleaaed from this great weight, the
airship shot upwards at a terrific pa'es,
until it waa s great height above the
clouds. The pilots succeeded, however,
in bringing her down near the earth,
turning her about and set out to fight
their way southward against a strong
wind.
Ths airship proceeded slowly south
ward to the edge of the pack ice, where
ths steamer Fram waa anchored. After
mueh difficulty, a tow rope was gotten
aboard th Fram, which started imme
diately to tow the airship to Spiteea-
bernen. 1
The strain waa so great, however,
that it threatened to tear the car to
which the rope was attached to pieces.
and Mr. Wellman finally decided to
bring the airship down to the surface
of the water. Thia waa effected with
out mishap and th car rested on tbs
surface of the water until all tne mem
here of the crew, tbs dogs and ths sei
entific instruments could bs transferred
aboard the Eram.
The America waa then towed back to
the landing stage, and within a ahort
distance of where the start waa made.
But the ill-luck of the expedition was
not yet at an end. Just as tha airship'
had reached the landing stage and ev
erything looked favorable for its rescue
without serious damage, a sudden gust
of wind caught the big bag broadside
en, and snatched it away from its tow
lues.
It was carried careening over rough
lee hummocks for some distance and
then it exploded. All the scattered
parts of the airship were subsequently
recovered, but the damage waa so great
as to preclude any further sttempt to
