5000 metres atove Fort Charenton, Nadar sud
denly observed a second balloon on the horizon.
Thinking il to be one leaving Paris, the French
aeronaut at once displayed the tricolor of his
country. and tho other balloon responded by ex-
hibiting the same flag. Gradually the two bal
looms approached one another, being drawn in
