with the tremendous height to which We

ION this trip I did not mind the low

oxygen, though, when we went higher
than 1900 feet. The air pressure at that
altitude is not more than three or four

Mr.. Forbes Tells Story.
Rip Cord Ripped Open Balloon.

I'm descending from the great elevation
We had little sand left As the gas con-
tracted, the balloon bag became extreme
ly fiabby.
Everything, however, went Well until
We were few hundred feet above the
ground when the appendix line broke
loose from the ring supporting the basket
There was SO little gas in the bag at the
time that the rigging collapsed. and, with
the basket attached. naturally dropped.
This caused the rip cord. which is at
tached to the ring to rip open the ballonn
at the height OF 800 feet from the ground.
Il cannot describe the sensation Of
that 3CO feet to the ground. 1t came SO
suddenly.
Il have a faint recollection Of seeing
men below me in a plowed field and SUBJ
consciously trying, 1t seemed. to tilt up
the basket, that Mr.. Yates and / might
spring free from the rigging when close
to the ground. Because the basket did
not tilt as it would have done under
ordinary circumstances was the cause
of our injury.
II believe the only thing that prevented
the breaking of our backs when the
basket fell bottom squarely down under
the weight of the bag was the rubber
air mattress which we had placed in
the bottom of the basket that we might
he comfortable when We wanted to lie
down.
