The sense of mystery conveyed by the

The wait that followed seemed cX-

she heard him move softly from one

seemed that he paused in absolute ST.

she heard her own faint, irregular

st. Louis, May with a sharp,
raw wind blowing and heavy clouds
banking the sky, Captain Charles Der.
Chandler, United States signal corps,
and Aeronaut j.. G.. Mccoy of New
York city, started last night on the
long distance balloon trip they had
been trying to take for three days.
They hoped the wind would carry
them eastward that they might land
nea Washington, ID. c., but immedi.
ately upon leaving the ground the bal.
loon took a southerly course, veering
slightly to the west.
Captain Chandler is making aerial
observations for the government,
which Is now interesting itself in bal
looms as aids to the army in case of
war. He carried instruments to show
the altitude and the speed attained.

in order TO have the benefit Of the
moonlight, with which the flight would
not have been attempted.
Several carrier pigeons were'taken
and messages will be sent back to st.
Louis by the a%eronauts. Captain
Chandler said before entering the
basket that they expect to be in the
air about forty-eight hours. Pro-
visions to last the two men three days
were taken.
The start was even, the balloon ris.
ing straight in the air until higher
than surrounding buildings. 1t then
veered sharply to the south and con
tinued in that direction until beyond
the vision of those on the ground.
Though Captain Chandler was disap
pointed in the failure to have a west
wind for the voyage, he said he felt
he could wait no longer and would
make the best of the north wind.
you can rest assured we will not
come down in the vicinity of st.
Louis" he said.
The ascent was witnessed by a vast
crowd, several members of the Aero
club being present.
The America, in which Mccoy and
Chandler assembled, is the second larg'
est balloon in the United States. The
largest, which vas recently completed
by Leo Stevens for the government,
has 1000 feet greater displacement.
