BALLOON LANDING DESCRIBED
HAWLEY AND POST TELL OF
DANGERS ENCOUNTERED.
With Snowstorm Raging They Came
down in Tops of Trees 80
Feet High.

Montreal, Canada-That Alan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post, the heroes
of the st. Louis international balloon
race had a narrow escape from death
or serious injury when their balloon
the America II crashed into the top OF
forest of so foot trees in the wilds
of the Chicotumi district of Canada,
was stated here by Mr.. Hawley.
When we were forced to land by
the storm we were travelling at an al
titude of $4,000 feet" said Mr. Haw-
ley. I'VE were travelling about %
miles northeast of Lake st. John at
the time. AS we crossed over what
seemed to be a lake, we opened the
gas valve as far as it would go. At
an altitude of 5000 feet we shot down
with great speed. The storm was
gathering and as we looked about we
were alarmed to find that there was
no available landing pace beneath u.s.
There was nothing to do but take the
brush. The tops of the tall trees
doomed up in menacing manner be-
meath us. In about two minutes we
struck the top of the forest. To ease
the fall | threw out bag of ballast
and we Immediately began again. AS
we started up | used the ripping panel
as a last resort and all the gas es-
capped with a rush. We were carried
at terrific speed over the tree tops
for hundred feet or so; then the bal
loon caught in the branches. We were
dumbfounded as we looked over the
edge of the basket and saw the trees
were about so feet tall. The basket
crashed down through the branches
but stuck about 20 feet above the
ground. There we were trapped in
mid-air. We held fast to the ropes,
fearing that another gust of wind
would seize the bag and whirl up into
new danger"
The two men escaped by sliding
down a guy rope. AS the rubber bag
dropped lower in the branches the
\ men were able to pull down the
basket and make bed in it where
they spent the night.
