3:45 Wednesday afternoon, October
l9, 1.5O0 feet up on the face Of an
unnamed mountain, which, as near
as they could reckon. lies about SIS
miles north of Lake Tshistigan. They
had been involved in a snow storm,
which was accompanied by a change
in the wind to a more northerly df-
rection from that which I'D till then
bade fare to carry them to the La
brador coast. The adverse condi-
tions compelled them to land, much
against their wishes. Landing was
effected easily and the balloon was
left in good condition
Sanguinely they started to get to
the nearest settlement. They were
uncomfortably near the end of their
provisions but accounting the story
of their experiences tonight. they
made light of that feature. They had
confidence, they said, in their ability
to obtain sufficient game to prevent
starvation.
For three nights they were obliged
to sleep in the open air. It was a stM
fight through snowy forescs. The
weather was exceedingly cold. Then
the camp of a trapper was struck on
the river Alours. A days rest was
enjoyed there in the deserted hat
Monday five trappers appeared ans
took them down the stream in their
canoes thirty miles from here
A six hours drive brought them here
tonight. Tomorrow night they ex-
pect to be in Quebec.
According TO their reckoning they
covered 1.450 miles in che air, dur
ing 46 hours.
