Walter Wellman and five crewmen landed at New York aboard the steamship Trent after abandoning the airship America 900 miles from Atlantic City. The crew reports the equilibrator failed, making steering impossible, yet express readiness to try again once a new method replaces the device. The craft carried a 30 foot lifeboat and showed only a starboard bow hole as damage.
