CARRIED AWAY BY A BALLOON.
10y mt Coney Island syhisLed High
I'm the Air.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Whisked from
earth and hanging by ,the, leg from rap
idly rising balloon, Ahdrew Malchofsky,
sixteen years old. was, carried 1.000 feet
into the air at Coney Island yesterday
afternoon, and only saved from death by
the coolness End courage of the aeronaut
whose balloon haG snatched him up.
Thousands Of visitors at the seaside re-
sort saw the boy carried away and heard
his frantic cries for help More than one
knelt upon the sands and prayed for the
lads deliverance from peril.
One of the attractions at Coney Island Is
a balloon ascension and parachute drop
The aeronaut is known as kid Benja-
min" He gives no other name.
While the balloon was being inflated yes
terday Afternoon no visitor was more in
terested than Andrew Malchofsky, who
lives in North SeF anth Street, Brooklyn.
Finally kid Benjanin' gave the word TO
let go
The balloon shot upward. Even while
the crowd was cheering One OF the dang
ling ropes whipped around Malchofsky' s
right leg, making a half hitch, and be-
fore he knew what had happened he was
high in the air.
He hung helpless halfway between the
patioo manu- parachute ID constant DANGER
that the rope would loosen and let him
drop
Shouts of horror warned the aeronaut.
The watching crowd saw him glance down
ward and then make preparations to save
the lads life.
He shouted 10 the boy to grasp the rope
with both hands and hold on tight When
these instructions had been obeyed be
clanbered d2wn and succeeded in knotting
the rope securely about the boys body be-
low his arms.
BENJAMIN did not dare to make his Gus
tomsry parachute jump, leaving the lad
attached 10 the balloon
He sat fast and the balloon, cooling,
gradually settled earthward, finally COM
ing to rest only a few block from where
II arose. MalcLofsky waited only TO be re-
leased before making for home as fast as
a trolley car would carry him
