“I ahull build an alrahlp that will aall
at the rate of a mile a minute!"
Thla waa the almoat atartllng an-
■wuncement made by Roy Knabenahue,
of Toledo, Ohio, the world'* moat suc-
ceaaful air navigator, to a Georgian re
porter at^the Piedmont Sunday, when
apeaking of the principles of air navi
gation and hla paat aucreae.
It will.not be an areo-plane nor will
It have a balloon attachment. It will
not be copied either. All the ahlpa of
the preaent day are coplea. J ahall give
out nothing about the principle* and
conatruction of the new outfit until It
ha* been made a aucceaa. I believe I've
got (he right Idea end I'm going to pul
It through."
Thla waa the confident manner In
which the young aeronaut and one of
Atlanta'* moat Intereating vlaltora
talked of hla hobby—alrahlp*. He la
a mere youth, hardly paat 25. but n
regular dynamo of energy and enter-
priae nnd na nervy nn men are made.
He aaya he haa been ‘‘airahlpptng," a*
he puta It. for three year*, and ha*
apeht a fortune In experimenting with
comparatively atnall return*.
At Naahvill* Fair.
Mr. Knabenahue arrived In Atlanta
Sunday from Xaahvflle, where he hoa
had an outfit at the Tennesaec state
fair on exhibition. He startled the
native* and convinced the akeptlcat
In (hat part of the country by taking a
trip, from the fair grounds up to and
around the capitol building and back
to the starting point.
"The akeptlc ha* to be contended
with at every place," remarked' the
navigator, "and he doe* more to *teai
your patience away than anything else.
The bent gaaollne motor that can ho
built will not behave properly *ome-
llme*. and if the aeronaut deride* that
It. is too dangerou* to attempt a flight
the skeptic* Immediately set up the
shout that ha la stalling.
“It doe»n't matter what hla past per
formance* have been; he may have
made successful flight* and sailed about
the place on previous day* Ju*t to
prove what can be dune, yet the un
thinking never take anything Into con
sideration. He never stop* to think
that the aeronaut has no fear of mak.
Ing a flight; that he know* every Inch
of hla machine; just what It I* capable
of doing: when It will go wrong and
when It won't, and no one but himself
know* of hla own confidence. He wanta
to please the public. He like* the sport.
If he I* unsuccessful he hears the Jeers
and hisses of the crowd and It makes
him worry and his food won't digest.
He would rather please the crowd and
make a successful trip than do any
thing else."
"Or. Thomas is Gama."
Dr. Julian P. Thomas, formerly o(
Atlanta and Augusta, Ga., I* a great
friend of the well-known aeronaut and
the two took the memorable twlloon
trip from New York to Boston several
month* ago. The navigator's story of
the trip was very Interesting.
‘The doctor I* the gamest little fel
low I ever saw. Juki a* we were near-
the llnlsh we were going at the fate
of If. mile* an hour. The anchor was
out and playing havoc with thing*. It
ripped shingle* oil barns and farm
down fences and tree*.
"I yelled at the doctor to pull he
cord and rip the bag. After some delay
he did It. Just a* thl* was done the
anchor caught, the bag made a para
chute of Itself, the basket made a
double somersault with the doctor and
I In It. When we hit, the back of my
ear was scraped over the rock* and
pebble* and the doctor was sitting In
my face. The doctor says, 'Gee, but
thl* Is great!’ I asked him afterwards
If he was' aware of the danger. He
said yes. but he didn't have but one
time to die. That was the narrowest
escape I ever had. •
“I don't know that I will make an
ascent In Atlanta. I have never tried
the ship being used by Mr. Hamilton.
I am not acquainted with It and don't
know how It behaves. I may make a
trip later In the week; It depends upon
circumstances."
Hamilton’s Sunday Trip.
Mr. Hamilton made a successful trip
about the grounds Runday afternoon,
after thoroughly overhauling his ma
chine.
He started up town shortly after ;
o'clock and got as far as Tenth street,
when the battery short-circuited and
he returned. Secretary Frank Weldon
and two members of The Georgian
staff accompanied W. D. Alexander In
his motor car and gave chase, but the
trip was called oil when the alrahlp
went back.
The game navigator made another
start and went over the Driving Club,
hut the motor stopped In mid air-and
the big crowd stood breathless for fear
he would get killed or seriously Injured
before he could get back to earth. The
rope was dropped and the big balloon
was pulled down In tbe vacant lot Just
outside the grounds.
When the crowd collected about Mr.
Hamilton CBlmly aaked for a match to
light his cigarette. His attendants
wanted to carry, the machine back to
quarters, but tho navigator told them
to start the motor, a* he waa going to
sail back nnd didn't Intend to have
It carried Into quarters.
He proved that he had the ship un
der tierfeet Control and plenty of nerve
to assist him In getting safely out of
any difficulty. Barring high winds, a
trip will be made dally this week.
