the trip. When DR.. Randall decided to
| land from a height of 1900 feet he dropped
to a point well west of Leeds and was
| carried along with the car humping over
| the tops of a forest for nearly three
miles before he was able to make a safe
| descent to the ground. The bottom of
| the car was badly torn by contact with
| the tree tops.
While DR. Randall was trying TO make
| his landing he saw the Potter party in
| the North Adams. No. /, having a similar
experience in sweeping over the top of
| the forest. After while the balloon as
| cended again and DR.. Randall did not see
| it afterwards
