Stray Balloon
Finds Nemisis
in Fruit Tree

LONDON UD George ]
Alloway, who lives at Sunbury-
on-Thames, became a hero by
capturing runaway balloon all
by himself. s..
Alloway was sitting quietly
in his parlor reading when the
balloon floated one thousand
feet over his house. His small
children, long-occustomed to the
sight of the captive balloons ov=
er London, had never seen one
just floating along before.
David, aged eight, end June,
aged five, screamed Daddy,
Daddy :" with unusual vio-
lence and Alloway ran out to
find the children trying to
catch the trailing cable of the
balloon.
He shouted warning for
them to keep away.
Just then smaller cable that
the balloon had picked up in its
wanderings, caught in the Chin
ney of a nearby house.
Alloway seized the opportun-
ity, caught the larger cable and
wrapped it around the trunk
of his apple tree after a consid-
arab1e StrIIpplo
A few seconds later the small
er cable snapped but Alloway's
apple tree met the test and held
fast.
Alloway, a little embarrassed
by it all, informed the police of
his capture. They, in turn, told
the Raj who sent a crew of air.
men and Waafs around with a
truck and a winch to take the
wandering balloon back home.
The airmen thanked Alloway
and he went back to his book.
Peace once again descended on
Sunbury-on-Thames.
