The bailees took at first a 0 direction. It
passed over Hutton, Hackney, said made towards the Essex
coast. Precisely seven minutes altee die halloos loft the
Belvidere.gardens it catered a very dense eland, and imme-
diately the earth was obscured completely from my view,
though I still heard the shouted' Ike parolees at Mockery
and is the aeighboorhood. On the balloon entering the
cloud it was twenty three minutes to four o'clock, and the
barometer stood at 24. 2-161 fas. 1 undermasel that the bal-
loon remained is the sight of the spectators at the Belvidere
precisely seven minutes.
Oa passing through the clouds I felt very chitty, sad was
covered with dew or mist, precisely the same as if I was is
a very thick fug, except that it did not as all affect the
stomach, as fogs generally do. Wheel the halloos was at its
resin( altitude the thermometer stood at 65.
The density of the clouds was so very extraordiaary, that
at one period I could scarcely distinguish the dag that was
ou the opposite side °fibs car.
At a quarter to four, having rises very rapidly after going
through the cloud, the glass stood at 111-10 the. This was
the utmost height the balloon resebed, and the light and heat
wee quite oppressive to me, the Await" more thee the latter;
and although the clouds were rolling beneath me, represent.
ing to my view a sea of white dew*, yet deme see the sea
shone with extreme brilliance.
At 15 missies before four o'clock 1 opened the valve to its
estinteet extremity, and 1 descended meet rapidly ; having
passed ihroegb the clouds I heard the shoots of renew" on
the earth, and saw some riding and others ruasiag, in the
direction which the halloos was taking. At 10 minutes
before four o'clock the balloon descended (having bees 20
minutes precisely on its voyage, in which period of time it
bad travelled about 14 miles) is a six-sere geld heti:raging to
Mr. Grout a farmer, at Tan-yard Pares, Barking side, two
miles from Ilford, in Essex.
A number of the pessealy assisted is severing the halloos;
but while in the hurry of detaching it 'rem the act that
covered the balloon, the wind blew strong, and it escaped
from their grasp, asd again earesded to the atmosphere, to
the height of several thousand Get, but fortu.ately the
valve was open, sod it descended agar within about a male
sad half from where it rose, without eustaining may injury."
