:. The Count also remarked that his de-
scent lappe.,ed earlier than he intend

!. "NIy aim," he said, was to return
to the floating pontoon whence we
started. I had steered the airsbip
around and was heading directly for
this pontoon,: when, in coming down
somewhat from the elevation we had
been floating at, the gas began to es-
cape from one of the balloons. D.
"This threw the point Of the hirship
much lower than was prepared for,
and our descent became too rapid.
II threw out some ballast and
worked the rudder that changes the
air ships plane and direction, but it
was of no use. The machine had too
great all inn etus, and, the descent was
unavoidable"
Opinion i'll general is somewhat un-
settled.
Of course. the decisive trial has not
yet been made. for the machine is still
in the experimental stage, though an
step toward the achieve
ment of aerial flight has been made.
