Drexel Lands Safely After High Flight From Point Breeze
The aviator Drexel left Point Breeze at 3 28 pm and landed at Oreland 74 miles north at 4 46 pm after a rapid ascent and a 16 minute attempt to gain altitude. He descended about six miles, getting nauseated, and reached an open field without injury. Clifford Harmon and Grahame White transported him and the barograph back to the city. Drexel plans to fly again tomorrow citing barograph failure to record 10 000 feet. He wore a canvas suit with wool garments and fur gloves and noted the cold but felt better than during previous records. A light southerly breeze aided the ascent as the crowd watched the monoplane disappear toward the north.
