HM'rn. Asbury Park, Oct. 23 The aero
nauts made a very graceful landing
from the Pommern at Bradley Park.
Tne two men hopped out of the bas
ket and were immediately inter
viewed by a Hearst News Service,
representative, who with S. J. Becker-,
secretary of the Symphonian So
cial Club of Asbury Park, was the
first person to greet the voyagers.
Pilot Erbsloe:i said that they had
not expected to get as far as they
did but that they were perfectly able
to go further only they did not want
to get blown out to sea. They had
hoped that the wind would change
some, so they could sail northward
and reach New York.
Mr. Erbsloes and his companion,
Henry H. Clayton, said they were in
excellent shape. The balloon was
absolutely undamaged in any way.
The balleonists said they had had a
line trip and figured that they had
travelled 1.04S miles in 40 hours,
or an average of something over 2i
miles an hour for the entire dis
tnnrc , '' .
Bota the men started to pack up
their gas bag and arranged to have
it and the basket taken to the rail
road 'station' and thence shipped to
New York. . .
