the contestants have been accounted
for. The Plauen and the Hergesell,
however, are still missing.
A dispatch received by the Aero
club from Edinburgh says that the
Busley early Tuesday morning got in
10 communication with the coaling
steamer Prinz Welhelm, bound for
Edinburgh, at point in the North
Sea some ten miles to the northwest
of Heligoland The steamer signaied
that She would stand by. The aero
nauts opened their safety valve and
the steamer had launched small
boat to pick up the two men then
perched on top of the envelope. The
balloon fell to the sea, but 1t was
driven by a strong wind away from
the Prinz Wilhelm.
The men in the boat pulled hard
and finally managed to get a line fast
to the car, which was being dragged
amid clouds of spray over the tops Of
the waves. The aeronauts had been
rescued. The transfer of the balloon
lists to the small boat was attended
with the greatest difficulty and the
Germans were in the water half an
hour before they we're got aboard. AS
soon as they were safe the connecting
line was cut and the balloon, free
of the weight Of the boat, went car
eening away over the sea.
The aeronauts, DR.. Niemeyer and
Hans w. Wiedeman, we're half max
ed and utterly exhausted. They were
taken back to the steamer where they
received every attention and-were Civ
