A TEN PASSENGER DIRIGIBLE
-------------------------

Having nothing to do became irksome so I decided to build another airship. I laid my design on the drawing board. My experience with the Wrights and the airplanes lead me to believe that the publish wanted to take rides. Any number of individuals had come forward and offered $50.00 to $100.00 if the could be the first one in that locality to have a ride in the Wright plane. I thought if they wanted to ride I would provide the machine they could ride in.
