the time when Huang and Sun, whose
heads had been appraised at $4,000
taels and 100000 taels respectively by
the Pekin government. were being

taken aback by the threatening sight
of the rest of Huang's party, who
rushed in from without upon Huang's

Fourteen In Runaway Balloon,

Fourteen passengers carried by the

flight had a narrow escape from death
near Schwetzingen. Germany. When
the dirigible ascended with the in
ventor, Professor Schuette. acting as
pilot. she reached an altitude of a few
hundred feet when the vertical steering
gear jammed. and the airship plunged
at full speed to the earth. where it
buried its bows and the forward gon-
dola in the ground.
Six passengers in this gondola, with
Schuette and a mechanic. were thrown
out with great violence. but nobody ex-
cept the mechanic, who had his breast
crushed in, suffered serious injury.
The dirigible, with the other passen-

water ballast containers had been
smashed. and the airship was blown
helplessly to the other side Of the
Rhine. where a descent was effected
