AERoNAUTs MAY BE DROWNED
Balloon Hergesell Found Floating on
North Sea Long Way from
HeltGOland.

YARMOUTH, England, Oct. 17.-Thc Ger
man balloon Hergesell has been picked up
in the North sea. There was, however, no
sign of the occupants and the two aero
nauts are believed to have pcrished. The
Hergesell was found floating half defiated
100 miles northwest of Heligoland by the
Norwegian steamer Neddod and brought
here.
The balloon races that were started at
Berlin on Sunday and Monday of this week
have been characterized by a series of ac-
cidents and mishaps but the Heregeseli is
the only airship to end it's flight with death
to it's pilots
A total of fifty balloons started in the
two races, the first for the international
cup, and the second an endurance contest.
Two OF them, the American Conquerer, and
the Spanish Montanes, burst IN the air, the
first at height of 1000 feet and the second
at a height OF 5000 feet, and their oc-
cupants had miraculous escapes from
death. In each case the remains of the
envelope formed a kind OF parachute which
saved the pilots.
Shortly after these two mishaps had been
recorded the airships began to be reported
from the North sea, and as It was seen
that they undoubtedly would be driven out
over this body Of water. the German ad-
miralty sent out a fleet of torpedo boats
to effect rescues, while the British govern
ment sent out two cruisers.
Several of the balloons made successful
landings on shore close to the beach, but
five of them. the American st. Louis. the
Swiss Helvetia. the Spanish Castillo, the
German Busley and the German Plauen all
came down in the water in the vicinity OF
Helligoland and their occupants ali had
narrow escapes before they were picked up.
The race for the international cup was
won by the British balloon Banshee, which
landed successfully on the coast of Dem
