Santos-Dumont's disaster
  • Brazilian airship aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont escaped disaster as his prize-winning Airship No. 6 experienced extreme heading of the hydrogen balloon while he was over the Mediterranean Sea. The ship, already directed nose-up during its ascension, tilted further upward. Wires supporting the gondola broke and tangled in the propeller. Faced with the prospect of an explosion or a loss of control, Santos-Dumont was able to reach the controls to shut off the motor and to vent the hydrogen enough to make a safe landing in the sea, where he was rescued. The airship was salvaged, and although it would be repaired and put on display in London's Crystal Palace Park, it would never fly again.
  • Born: Thelma Ritter, American actress; in New York City (d. 1969)
  • Died: James Bradley Thayer, 71, American law professor and authority on constitutional law (b. 1831)
