Atwood Flies Over Lake.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 11, 1913:
Crosses Erie in Hydroaeroplane After All-Night Flight.
    SANDUSKY, Ohio, June 11.— Aviator Harry N. Atwood, who left Ecorse, Mich., yesterday afternoon for a flight across Lake Erie to this city in a hydroaeroplane, arrived here at 1:35 o'clock this morning. He had not been heard from, and those interested in him and the flight had become anxious for him.

    DETROIT, June 10.— A report received here to-night stated that Atwood passed the Livingston Channel at the mouth of the Detroit River about 3 o'clock and headed out over the lake. All efforts to obtain further trace of the aviator had been unavailing up to midnight.
