Struggling for KLife in the Pncitic Ocean—Ehroe files EHigh, and the Ensterly Current Undiscovercd, From the San Francsco Chroniele, Oct. 10, A balloon ascension from tho City Gardens, by “ Prof, Duret,” was advortised to take placo yosterdny. Early in tho morning the inflation of tho mammoth balloon * Now World," bolong- ing to Prof. Lay, wns commonced. The main bel nngini; to the San Fraucisco Gas Company running Into the Gardons is but small, and tho ‘balloon, thorefore, filled slowly,- Whon the ‘hour advertised for tho sacension npproached, it s nacorinined that the advertisod balloonist, whoso namo_la not Durat,” but O, IT: Hull, was not going up. Among the passengers billed for tho oxcursion, however, was a Chyonicle reparter, W. W. Austin, who had mado two balloon nscensions, *When the roporter camo upon the ground and found that the affair was likoly to prove s flusco, ho volunteered to tako chargo of the nsconsion himaolf, nnd under Lhis guidonco tho ascoudon was made. At 8 o'clock there was not sufliclont gna in the bal- loon, and a delay of one hour was found to bo necessary, T'ho balloon reully raquired 45,000 feet of gns, yet at 4 o'clock thoro was but 80,000 feot of gas in it. This was considered sufliciont to carry two pnssongers, and the Chronicle re- ortor and Edwin H. aiou§h stopped into the nsket. The balloon shof upward with light- ning volocity, In two minutes San Frau- cisco, with its citizons and liousos, looked lito & ponorama in the distance. Markeb stroet was clonrly deofined, and tho othor streots, from tho immense height, scemed to intorgoct it at almost right angles, 'Fho pooplo below looked like pigmies and tho houses were as toy-shops for children. TFar away to tho right epread tlio bny. It was, to the bulloonists, a noro shoot of burnished silver, Boyond wero tho mountsins, grand in thoir solemuity, but soening like so many molebills to the voyagors in theair., To tho loft wns, npparently, a thick mist. Tho compans at this timo told the direc. tion of tho mist, It was directly west, aud tho commander of tho balloon surmitod at once that this was tho Pacific Ocoan, For the flrst-two. winutes tho_balloon drifted rapidly toward thna mist, The reporter's bhand was on tho valve- rope, rendy to pull it any moment. But eud- denly, a8 the balloon roso, the wind of tho upper air changed, and tho. air-ship was driven repidly toward theeast, Over tha busy city, in whicl thousands were _gazing upon tho puny- lookhfig monuter, the balloon swept. Ban Fran- cisco Bay scemed to be appronching the air-ship, Aleatraz was just benenth tho basket, snd tho courso was slill enatward, Tho commander bo- gan to flatter himsolf that' ho had found the % gnstern curront,” and indulged in visionary Dopes of renching New York on the nost moni- ing, Up, up, wont tho balloon, and castward, ougtward was its course. ‘I'ho bay now glistoncd in the declining sun, and, looking down from tho basket, tho reporter eaw that ho was abovo the middlo of it. ‘Chreo minutes more with a favorable wind would have carried him boyond tho nparrow expanso of wators over to iho coast range. Once among the foot-hills the descont would have beon easily and -mleli; nccomplisied, Again tho commander aud his companion flattered thom- selves that all wag woll, aud ss & sort of con- atulatory encrifico tho companion dranlca bot- 1o of soda, six of which hud been finished by Ay, Stovens, tho proprietor of the Garcens. If was now fwenty-five minutes past4 o’clock—just five minutes after tho great ascousion, The ‘barometor showed that the voyugors wero just ono-mile and n half above sea lovel. Thenir- current still wont steadily to the onst, and tho groat thoory of an eastorn curront scemed nbout to bo ostablished, The air-sbip, releasod from tho fotters of enrth, scemed to sonr aloft with joy and gladness, Up, up, it went, aud at hall- past 4 the baromoter marked an altitude of two miles. Still going enstward noross the bay, the Dasket of the balloon was spinning ronud like o top, aud it was o difficult matter to dotermina which way tho balloon was reslly goiug, Tho compnss appoared to point in all ditections, Ktill it wns possiblo to make an estimato by the Jand- marks, and - up to this timo tho air-slip had un- doubtedly gono east, Within two minutes, how- ever, tho bnlloon bogan to verge toward the wost- ward, The “mist™in the distance bocame more appavent. At this time tho air-ship must have boon traveling at a great speed. ‘o miat tho commander took to be thowsos, and he at onco attempted a descent. Thoy wore lmvoriu?v just over the Golden Gate. It was evident to'tho Olronicle mau that the only courso loft was to ascond. Accordingly ballast was thrown out, and the nir-ship onco moro rose among tho clouds, Up for threo miles the balloon ascend- ed. Thon u current of wind, blowing directly towards the northwest, struck it. Saddonly and without any warning the ear pegan to descond. It wae at this timo sbout threo miles high, and it camo down with o rapidity which would have been startling to any one but an ox- perionced balloonist, DBag after bag of sand was cart into the son, but still tho balloon was sinking, Noxtwent tho Tunch which Lnd been preparing for the landimg, Overconts followad, and, with & gigh and almost a tear, the soda wator wag sacrificed, SHU tho uir-ship came rapidly down, and tho anclior, &8 o leat resort, was cust into tho yawning sea, A dush, a splurgo, and tho basket touched the wator. ‘o bualloon carcened over, aud saved the lives of its fumates by keoping tlio basket afloat. Through tho raging. waves of the ocean tho basket plouglied ita way, dragged along by the huge globo of gay. Olongh was on tho top oling- iug to tho ropes. The Chrowicle man, unfortil- natoly, was at the bottom of tho bagkot, and us it rollod around, reaving its waythrough tho WAVOS, Bio wns battored and beaton, and earried beoneath tho waters emorging in the condition of aducked duck. 8uaid his companion: * Cling ou, old boy ;- thero's n boat coming to ua, : T'wo sturdy men bout their muscles to the ut- most, and soon the boat was nlongeide tho dismantled belloon, *“ Grab the boat,” cried ono of the mon, Olough grabbed And was soon safo on board tho boat. Tho Chronicle man triedl to grab, too, but he was further off and tho boat veered off. Rolioved of tho weight of one man tho balloon at_onco araso enrryiug tho Ohroniclg man with it, - Up, up, the balloon went, lightoned and buoyant. The re- portor saw that it was going out to sen. Ilis only hope was to pull the valve rope, briug it down agaln, nnd trust to the boat, ** Bring hor down,” shouted ane of tho boatmen ; ** I'll fol- low you.” Bhe camoe down with s vougeanco, and with it enmo tho reporter. Oneo aguin ho was immersed in the wators of the Pacifio, ‘* Clot out of the' basket,” shouted tho boat- ‘men; ‘‘get on tho outside; well have you all 1ght yot.” Tho ro- }r_onor riod to oboy instructions, kunowing wll well chat ull hope of saving tho Ealloou wan gono, Ho was no oxhmusted, however, that it was utterly impossible for him to extricate ‘himself from the intricute moshos of the bagkot, A poiv of bouds grasped tho reportor’s hoad, another pair took hig vight arm, and still another Disloft avm. 1o waa fairly draggod from tho Dalloon, The moment his " woight was tukon from tho nir-ship it sprang alofi, shooting nway until it appoared a moro dot in tho distanco.
