NEW YORK, August 4.—The wild ride of a lone pilot in a homemade blimp 6,000 feet above the ground fur- nished thousands of New Yorkers last evening with the thrill of a lifetime. The pilot, Anthony Hansler, finally landed his 94-foot ship safely in the Long Island meadows. The only dam- age done was a rip in the gas bag. The ship was constructed by Morris F. Hamza in the backyard of his home in Union City, N. J., and represents 10 years of experimental work and three years of actual construction Hamza is striving to perfect a ship that will remain afloat indefinitely. Yesterday’s flight was to have been in the nature of a test. Hansler took Secaucus, N. J.,, and headed Feet Over New York ‘ o over Times Square a tear in the g bag developed from the friction of a rope, and fearing an explosjon of the 5,000 feet of hydrogen in the bag, he turned off the motor. The craft was then at the mercy of the winds, and Hansler strapped a par- achute on himself and threw out a ,500-foot rope, hoping some one would atch it. Although many tried, none ucceeded until the Long Island mead ows were reached. The blimp w: then hauled down in safety. The ship, which is shaped some thing like a s has a small bam boo underca pended by ropes Its motor Is ylinder, sev horsepower motor-cycle engine, which drives a 4-foot propeller. Hanza prepared to retrieve his ship today, and said the mishap would not prevent additional flights. ENSIGN F. E.
