SIX CONTESTANTS FOR INTER
NATIONAL TROPHY END vOY-
AGES IN THE SEA.
HAVE NARROW ESCAPES
OUT OF TWENTY THREE, GER
MAN BALLOON BUSlEY ONLY
ONE NOT REPORTED.

Berlin.-Only one of the twenty
three balloons which started in the
race for the International trophy Sun
day from Schmargendorf is unac-
counted for. This is the German bal
loon Busley, under the command of
mann as assistant
Dispatches received here Wednes-
day from Cuxhaven announced that
the Spanish contestant. the Castella,
dropped into the ocean six miles north
of Heligoland. and that the navigators,
Montojo and Robero, were rescued by
fishermen. Montojo said:
The balloon for more than an hour
was sometimes in and sometimes out
of the water near Helisoland. Finally
We saw fishing boat and We sprans
into the water. where We remained
for some twenty minutes before being
rescued. Two other balloons passed
over Hamburg in our company"
Wednesday evening a dispatch was
received from Molde, Norway. telling
vi tHt ueSttHt Ol lnc oWlSS bdlloOii
Helvetia to the ocean and the rescue
OF Colonel Schaeck and +. Messner.
The dispatch says:
Fishing boat this afternoon rescued
occupants balloon Helvetia at the last
moment as tLey We're sinking, the gas
being totally exhausted. The balloon
was saved Schaeck and Messner will
remain here over night and go TO
Christiansands tomorrow.
Mode is only thirty-two miles south
west of Christiansands, and to reach
this point the Helvetia must have tray
eled about 1850 kilometers or 775
miles in a direct line, and must have
travelled over the Skager Rack. or the
still greater body of the North Sea.
This is by far the greatest distance re
ported to the credit of any of the con
testants, the majority of whom either
took a somewhat circular course or
were compelled to descend on account
Of their proximity to water.
The Helvetia is the fifth balloon
among the international contestants
to come to grief; the Conqueror and
lnt MOntdueS DuTSU dL Il HlSH dltltuue,
and the St. Louis and Castella were
wrecked in the North Sea. Although
TO casualties followed these disasters
the escape of the ten men who were
in the unfortunate balloons was al
most miraculous.
A second report came from Molde
late Wednesday night. stating that an
other balloon was reported to have
landed in Norway, about the same
place as the Helvetia. The Aero club
officials here are doubtful of this and
believe the report is simply another
version of the He1vetia's S landing.
: A report received here from Wan
gerloog island, in the North Sea, says
balloon passed over there Tuesday.
Fourteen German torpedo boats are
searching the North Sea for the miss
ing balloon.
n. II. Arnold and Harry J. Hewitt,
the two American aeronauts of North
Adams, Massachusetts, who were res
cued from their balloon, the st. Louis,
in the North Sea Tuesday, arrived in
Berlin today. Mr.. Hewitt's right hand
was badly lacerated by one of the an
chor ropes of the balloon. but other
wise neither man sustained any harm
on their adventurous trip.
