THE LA MOUNTAIN BALLOON VOYAGE.
NARRATIVE OF MR.. HADDoCK, COMPANION OF THE
TRIP.
The public has already been informed of the safe
arrival at Ottawa, c. W., on the Sd instant, of
Professor La Mountain and Mr. Haddock, who
ascended in the balloon Atlantic from Watertown,
n. y. on the 22d September, and for whose safety
much fear was felt The Watertown Courier, Of
October 9Th, contains long report of the voyage
of the Atlantic, and the wanderings and suferiprs
in the wilderness of the baoonists, La Mountain
and Haddock. The account written by Mr. Had
dock is interesting. The baloonists were up in
the air from four to five hours when finding them
selves over dense wilderness and the darkness of
the night around them, they concluded to descend.
They did so, and passed the night in the balloon,
fastened to the top of tall spruce tree, and ex-
assembled, and here we leave Mr.. Haddock to speak
for himself:
As the current was driving us still to the north,
dare not stay up. drifting farther
and still farther to the ''froZen tide from which
we knew there could be no escape. Mr.. La Noun
tain seized the valve cord and discharged gas and
descended in safety by the side of large spruce
We made the Atlantic fast by her anchor and for a
moment talked over what should do We had
not mouthful to eat No protection at night from
the damp ground distant we knew not how
far from habitation, were hungry to start with,
earthly hope of raising fire, and distinct idea
to where
We settled in minds that we were in
John Browns tract or in the great Canada wilder
ness-tO the south, thought, of the Ottawa and
knew that course south by east would take us out
FIVE had strength enough to travel the distance.
La Mountain stepped up to the balloon and gave
the edge of the basket parting shake SAYING
EfGood bye, old Atlantic and fancied could see
a tear in his honest eye when he said it.
To the southeast, then, we started. After travel
ing about a mile and half we came to the bank of
a small creek, flowing down from the westward
At this point we were agreeably surprised to find
that some human being had been there before u.s.
for we found several small trees cut down. the Goals
from an old fire, and half barrel, which had con-
tanned pork. / eagerly examined the stamp 1t
read, "Mess Pork, p. NJ, Montreal" This settled
the question that we were in Canada-for l very
well knew that no Montreal inspection of pork ever
found its way into the interior of New York State
We travelled all day Friday up the unknown creek
which kept its general to the south of west
On its southern bank f'blazed' track, which led
us up to deserted timber road lying on the oppo-
site side from a large numbering shantv. We
hoped of the lumber roads might take us out to
