A BALBOA Breaks Loose and tue Aero,
naut IN Drngs ii by " Cord.
PARIS, August 23.-At5 Royan, on the
Glronde, there was, on Friday, scene un'
precedented in the annals OF ballooning.
NJ. Gratiep, a well-known aeronaut, was
about TO make an ascent in 4 hot air bal
loon called "La Vidouvillsis." Mile Alber.
tine. the heroine Of several balloon ascen.
sions, was seated in the car, and NJ. Gratien
was holding in his right hand loose coil
tied 10 one oi the cords that served to attach
the balloon. The balloon unexpectedly
broke loose, and the cord, unrolllDg itseii
with lightning rapidity, caught In sort oi
running knot around the first and second
fingers OF Gratien's right hand.
Gratien was Immediately whisked of
INTO the air six hundred meters hign. In
vain he tried TO haul himself up on the
cord, and wrap it over his arm. After
frantic efforts ne became exhausted, and
hung at The end OF the cord, suspended
solely by his two fingers, aid suffering ex.
crucla,ing agony. Owing TO the jerking oi
the balloon, the cord cut ike razor
through the flesh TO the bone. IN that
situation GraIien was carried to the dis
tance Of neal four miles, at the height Of
six hundred meters above the earth. Mile
Alberline, overcome by the horror Of the
situation, tainted away and sank helpless
10 the bottom oil the car.
As the air in the balloon became cool,
the balloon descended, but bumped against
the earth in the midst of dense macs ot
thorny shrubbery. Gratien WAS not only
Stripped Of his clothes, but his skin was
literally torn in strips from his body, as he
wes dragged for nearly half mile through
the ,horny brambles. Finally some peas
ant managed to cut the cord. Gratien ap-
peared to be masso Of wounds, and BIZ near
bleeding to death. Strange 10 say he did
rot lose CONSCIOUSNESS for a single instant.
He suffered no internal injury, and al
though his condition il critical, he will
probably recover. .
When the rope was cut, and the balloon
was freed from the weight OF Gratien's
body, 1t again arose in the air, carrying of
Mile. Albertine. BY singular good fortune
1t soon landed in marsh, ana Mademoi.
selle at last stood on terra frma. She was
sorely distressed in mind aud bad scared,
but otherwise safe and sound.

Jesse Hart No. 9, Captain David Wall,

stone pile at the Breakwater. There was q
heavy sea running at the time, and the
Captain aud crew abandoned the vessel and
reached the beach in safety. At 8 O'Clock
that morning Captain George W. Bellevon,
Of the steamer Juno, owned by Peter
Wright & Sons, sighted the schooner and
prepared 10 save her. The latter was in
sucn Il dangerous position that approach

strength, WHICH was fast becoming exhaust

on the next wave, made one mighty lunge
toward the end Of the boom, and with au
almost superhumau effort barely clutched
it with his right hand. In q twinkling
he threw out his left, and there held

he tegainsd sufficient strength to enable
him to climb up on the sall and then eau;
