cupiers of the car could converse with
I the crew Of some fishing boats. On get
| ting further fi0m the English coast, the
balloon again got into a current setting

much expanded by the action of the suns
rays, and the vuyagers ascended to a
! height Of 1900 feet The safety valve

icient to enable it To float upon the wa

upon the ground. An easy descent was
made shurlIy after o'clock. upon hill

ed about five hours and halt, while the
