M0UNTA|NEERS TAKE BALLOON FOR THE COMET One SuperstitiOus MOuntaineer Prays For Sins to be For
 given VIKING GETS ALTITUDE RECORD Air Bag Prevents Death of Mir. Forbes and His Guest.
VIKING GETS ALTITUDE RECORD

Stiff and sore from the shaking up he received in his sensational drop from the clouds into the Mountains Forbes, the intrepid balloonist and sportsman of Fairfield. today visited Bridgeport. On all sides he was showered with congratulations on his remarkable escape from death. With his accustomed modesty he belittled his daring adventure, and at once be- gan plans for future flights.
 MT. Forbes has a wealth of inter- esting anecdotes of his memorable aerial voyage from Quincy, H., to Kentucky, most of them having to do with the consternation that spread among the Kentucky Mountaineers at the approach of his balloon, the Vik- ing, leviathan of the air, the biggest device of the sort ever launched.
 ''The people where we landed were simple, primitive folks, mountaineers who see little of the outside world, and who live from day to day with little expectation or care for the fu- ture," said he. While MT. Forbes and his companion J. c. Yates were re- cuperating in a hut in Kentukcy 20 miles from railroad station, the country folks came into their room dIIu ulIOlOcu SIOIlCS OI "AiCI 1ldO nap pened when the big balloon was sighted
 'It was rather tedious, those days of waiting for strength to get out again. said MT. Forbes, and we relished keenly the stories these sim pie, superstitious folks told us. One of the most interesting concerned mountaineer who saw us in the dis tance and mistook us for harbing- CT of the end Of the world. He thought we were Halley's comet, we were later told and when he saw us so close to earth, he was convinced that his day had come. He ran sev- eral miles until he fell exhausted. We could see him in the distance. This is the prayer this mountaineer made, as repeated to MT. Forbes by others when they had recovered from the first consternation,
 'Oh, God, I never did kill anybody; never did gamble-much-but Oh, God, I've led h. of life. Please forgive me-"
 Like most people that live far from the busy centers of population these people are highly religious in a prim- itive sort of way" said MT. Forbes. ''They knew nothing about the bal loon race, and it was only natural that they should be surprised at our appearance and especially With our big balloon, should mistake us for something supernatural.
