" NULL I SECUNDUS": THE MILITARY AIRSHIP'S FLIGHT TO LONDON. On a recent Saturday morning, Londoners in hundreds and thousands came streaming out from shop, office, and warehouse to stare at the unexpected and most gratifying sight of the new airship motorirg high over London. At half-past 12, speeding nearer and nearer the heart of teeming London's ceaseless roar, the airship rounded St. Paul's Cathedral, and then turned back Bcuthwards in the direction whence it had come, from Farnborough, thirty-three miles away. What the airship had done and how it had fared is best told in the words of its steersman, Colonel Capper. The " Nulli Secundu* " came down finally at the Crystal Palace. With Colonel CappeT in the airship was Mr Cody. Colonel Capper described the events of the trip, andl expressed the liveliest satisfaction with the performance of the " Nulli Secundus " on what, as he emphasised, waa a purely experimental trip. —Photo, by Halftones, Ltd.
