OOE LaIhtt. we OttiNeQ 10 ldllN. We
were in low clouds about 1000 feet
high. The wind was north by west,
the sun had been heating up our bag
and we began to 20 up. We reached
G,j0O feet. 1t takes a long time to 60
from that height.
Make a Bad Landing.
THE clouds were below us and
above us. We got down about two
o'clock, It was a bad landing and we
were pretty badly shaken up. We
were not hurt or thrown out, but the
basket was smashed against the
ground.
"rhe balloon caught between the
trees. We had taken the pigeons into
the basket To protect them from the
landing. Usually they ride in cage
tied outside of the basket. The wealth
err was clear and nearly freezing
"All three of us stepped out Of the
basket I'm our flying clothes. | took
the grip. We were soaking wet. Kloor
took the pigeon cage We started off
at terrific pace to get where the
dog barked We did not stop to i'm
spect the balloon, From the bearings
| took in the balloon we figured the
dog to be south by east from us,
