ALMOST DROPPED IN THE OCEAN

BALLOON WAS IN THE AIR TWO
HOURS " FINALLY
SAFELY.

Gan Francisco. Nov. 5.-The nine oc''
rupants of the car of the balloon winch
escaped from this city Saturday after-
noon returned safely to San FRANCISCO,
Yesterday. The balloon was landed
near Pescadero. fifty miles from this
city and but a few miles from the
ocean. The balloon was in the ar
nearly two hours, and at n time was
,ut at sea but was blown back over the
land. .
VIXEN the balloon broke its bonds IL
sailed away in a southerly direction.
Near Redwood City. it struck an air
current which took it toward the ocean

rope that held snapped and the captive
became a runaway and was sweeping
along the ground. When il came with

bore down with all his weight.
This stopped the Flight.
Soon the balloon was brought to the
ground and eight overjoyed passengers
and the a%eronau alighted and o
supper with Thomson.
A. L. Dodge, one of the passengers,
in describing the trip. said that the
balloon first started toward Oakland,
and after circling about for a time
1rifted southwark and became station
airy for a short period. Then, in re-
spouse to a breeze from the east, 1t
sailed over the San Mated hills and
stood far out over the ocean. The
aearts OF all the occupants of the
wicker cage we're filled with fear as
he prospect of being dumped into the
ocean stared them in the face. Twice,
according to Dodge's story, the bal
DON dipped close to the surface Of the
water. but rose again, each time to a,
considerable altitude. Finally a breeze
from the sea caught the balloon and
carried IL back over the land. and after
dragging the car through the tops of
a grove of trees, landed on the hillside
near Pescadero. 1t was a terrible ex-
perience. and / would not undergo the
same adventure again for anything.
