was a variation In the programme at
Prof. Williamson's balloon ascension
yesterday afternoon. The big gas bag
had been inflated and the gas, possess
ing from some reason or other, greater
buoyant properties than usual, 1t was
found impossible to hold it down by
the tackle usually employed.
Williamson, who had not yet changed
from his street attire to his ascension
costume. was trying to hold the balloon
to the ground. Finding, however, that
1t couldn't be done. he gave the signal
to cut the ropes. He managed 20 catch
the parachute bar just in time to avoid
being left behind. The balloon shot up
higher than usual, and although the Pro-
fessor had not been able to adjust his
life preserver as Is his custom before
cutting his parachute loose, he detached
himself from the balloon when just off
Hollands pier.
Fortunately the parachute worked all
right, and Williamson dropped. safely
into the water. He was picked up by
the sloop Flying Cloud, but his para
chute sank and had not been recovered
