noon, but Duret did not go with it.
Austin of the Chronicle, and Clough
of the Cdil, We're the ones who under
stood how to find the celebrated east
ern air current. Austin controlled
the balloon. They found an air cur
rent, but it took them rapidly to the
northwest Austin saw the tug Nep-
tune in the bay and pulled the valve
rope, and the balloon descended low
enough to allow him to leap into the
bay whence boats could rescue him.
But poor Clough went up again like
rocket. Austin, twenty dollar piece
and himself had been the only ballast
they were gone, and the valverope
broken. ClOugh climbed into the net
ting, got hold of the broken rope,
opened the valve, and down she came,
close to the water, and the crew of the
Neptune got him safely out. The bal
loon then re-ascended, and when last
seen was going toward the north pole,
over San Rafael. The enterprising
aronauts are now at North Beach TAX
ing another bath. Clough is minus
the suit of clothes which he wore at
starting.
