DR.. II. +. Honeywell, of St. Louis. and
Drs g. NJ. Fairfield and w A. Herring.
of San Antonio. and DR.. Edward Auer, OF
New Braunfels. had a narrow escape from
death.
The ascension was q success and the
party clrcled the city several times. The
combination balloon and areoplane was
caught, however, in stiff breeze and was
blown across the city at the rate of forty
miles an hour. The gas was bad and in
order TO clear the tall buildings the bal
last had TO be all thrown overheard.
The wind carried the balloon across the
city and into the country at high rate
of speed. Fifteen miles out several at
tempts were made TO land without sue
cess owing TO the dense woods. Finally at
a height Of three hundred feet the entire
party took a parachute leap and landed
safely IN a field. This is said TO be the
first time four heavy men every attempted
TO make a parachute leap at such low
elevation.
