Peter, Westminster, was advanced to

Samuel Black, an aeronaut, met with
a horrible death here this afternoon,
When at a height of 400 feet il his
ascent he signalled that he was about
tc descend; but something seemed to
have gone wrong with his parachute.
A few minutes later a thin stream
of smoke was seen issuing from the
parachute, which in a few seconds
burst into a flame, severing the para
chute from the balloon, and the aero
naut was seen falling through the all
at a frightful speed. Half an hour
later his body was found horribly
mangled about two miles from the
scene of the ascent. 1t is supposed
the parachute caught firefrom sparks
