The Last Glimpse OF Andree's Balloon.

veyed 10 Danes Island; balloon
house was erected and engines set up
for producing hydrogen gas and in
ilating the balloon. All, indeed, was
made ready for the start in 1896; but
the south wind which was wanted for
the start did not come. The party
waited for it until the season had al
vanced too far for n safe venture, and
then returned to Sweden. In May, 1897,
they returned, and by July LIST again
had everything ready for n start. Again
the south wind refused to come. When
the members OF the party arose ON the
morning of July IL, they sent up a
joyous cry. A strong steady wind was
blowing from the south! The three
daring countrymen made ready To start
ON their hazardous Journey. A few
moments for the last farewells ana

Of 800 feet, journeying northward
until, within an nour after the ascen-
sion, IL finally disappeared altogether
