Mystery Ship

A fortnight ago, the Boston Traveler told a mysterious yarn about a famed aviator (unnamed) who is secretly hard at work on a giant transatlantic airplane, somewhere in Massachusetts.

Having given its curious readers the parsley, the Boston Traveler last week revealed the meat. The aviator's name is Harry N. Atwood. For the last five years, he has been drawing up plans in his hilltop home in Monson, Mass., for a multi-motored, heavier-than-air ship capable of carrying 100 passengers across the Atlantic in less than 48 hours.

The ship will be all-metal, have enormous wings, house passengers free from noise and wind. Said Mr. Atwood: "Our plans have passed the tests of the most eminent of aviation engineers. There will be cabins and dining-room and promenade deck and lounges and everything necessary to safe and comfortable transport across the ocean."

Mr. Atwood has not astounded aviation circles since 1911 when he performed the at-that-time remarkable feat of hopping from St. Louis to New York.
