Gently undertook to cross the English

this would be no disadvantage, but rather
the contrary. as the wind would only has

BY the time they reached the neighbor-
hood of Brighton, on the coast. the aero
naGts found that on account of the con-
densation of the gas, they could keep
themselves GP Only by throwing out bal
last; and they perceived that, at the rate
they were throwing it out, they had not
enought to carry them across the chan
mel. AT the same time the balloon was
blowing, very fast in the direction of the
sea.
Nothing remained for them but to de-
scend, by whatsoever means they could,
and at once 1t WAS now almost dark.
Not moment was to- be lost. We have
got to go down the guido rope" said VIII
liamS. He himself began the descent first,
the twirling rope. Mr.. Darby followed,
as closely as possible.
MIR. Williams reached the ground with
out serious injury. but as he let go and
fell, tho thing happened which should.
have been foreSeen-the balloon, reh'-ved
of it's weight, shot upward. carrying poor
Darby with it,. He let himself down to
the end of the rope, but this was now far
above the earth. 1t was Impossible for
him to climb up again into. the balloon.
and to do so, even If 1t were possible

Even now he could hear the washing OF

but a poor chance. Nevertheless, he chose
to let go and fall, feeling that his best
chance lay in dropping to the earth be-

darkness.
He lost consciousness, ard knew moth
ing of what happened after that. Next
day he was, found, alive but badly hurt,
in a marsh close by the sea. His pneu-
matte air-cushioned clothing had broken
his fall, and he had providently dropped
into such a position that the water of
the marsh did not drown him. He was
taken to Brighton, and received medical
care. He could have hardly fallen from
