Avalon.

From August Putnam's.
Ny love besought me at the droop Of day,
When twilight showed its fading fields
where is that isle of old called Avalon.
The blessed isle where summer dwells ale
way,
And happiness makes its eternal stay?
Has 1t, by some strange magic, been
withdrawn
Beyond the portals of the dusk and
dawn,
Hid from our mortal ken perchance for
eye?"
Gazing within my loves upturned eyes
AS violet-deep as is the evening star.
And fairer far for me to look upon,
Unhesitant 1 answered in this wise
20 tender heart of hearts, where'er you
are
There evermore to me is Avalon"

Hundreds, Helpless, Watch
Frantic Effort of Doomed
Youth to Guide Great Gas
Bag Back to Land,
lBy Morning Journal special Leased wir.l


San Pedro. Cal, March S.-While
hundreds watched his frantic efforts
to control a gas bag which was swift
~ bearing him over the Pacific ocean
this afternoon. Lester Elkins, an am
ateur aeronaut twenty years old, soar
ed the balloon to a height of more
than four thousand feet before he cut
loose his parachute and dropped into
waters of the outer harbor to his
death
AS the stiff wind blowing off the
land carried him out to sea, boatmon
hastily left the inner harbor in
launches to rescue him when he came
down should he be unable to guide
the balloon back over the land.
The launch Emiline was already in
the outer harbor when Elkins cut
loose. but owing to the high wind
point where he would strike the
water. and before it could race thith-
or Elkins had disappeared.
Elkins, who was employed formerly
on the Los Angeles aqueduct as a
traction engineer, came to san Pedro
this morning and proposed this after
noon to attempt balloon ascension.
An attempt was made TO deter hir',
as the wind was blowing steadily
from the north and directly toward
the bay from the point whore the bal
loon was moored. Elkins. however.
was determined TO make the flight.
As the bag arose it carccned and
was carried rapidly out over the wa
ter. Elkins began frantic efforts 20
guide II back to the land, by swing
ing from the bar below. but almost
before the spectators could realize
that he was in imminent danger the
balloon was far out At sea. When II
suddenly arose and had reached an
altitude estimated az about 4500 feet
the aeronaut was seen TO leave the
bag and drop like a rocket toward the
ocean The parachute filled after he
had fallen short distance. but was
caught hy ti, wind and carried still
further out. and fell in the ocean a
mile beyond Dead Mans island.
