Each had his fat and lazy steed that wasn't built for dizzy speed, old plugs that fattened in our barns—but we would tell the -tallest yurns! “I drove old Dobbin seven miles in half an hour,” I'd say, with smiles, although I knew that such a tale would make old Ananias pale. And then some neighbor would relate how his old mare, the bald-faced Kate, hit up a clip that made Maud S. look sick and shrivel in distress. We all pretended to =~ lieve such stories, fashioned to deceive. It wasn't proper or polite to hint that any horsey ht would tell a tale that wasn't true concerning what his nag could do. Those driving horses are no more, and when we gather at the store to purchase vinegar in jars, we talk about our motor cars. We talk of hills we climbed in high, where other cars would balk and die, we talk of sending some old dray four hundred miles or more a day, of pulling through a waste of mud, of perils dire in storm and flood. And as each tells his little tale, however false, however stale, we all pretend that we believe whatever stories he may weave. For it will shortly be our turn to hand out anecdotes that burn and we'll expect all fellows near to give to us attentive ear.

I regard the project as thoroughly successful, and the easy navigation of the air in .any direction (not exactly in the teeth of a gale) as no longer doub®ul. At noon today, we ascended to an elewation of nearly 25,000 feet by dis- charging “&llast. Did this to search for a more arssé wrent, but found none so favorable as the e®; we are now in. We have an abundance of g&w! to take us across this small pond (the Atlantic) even should the voyage last three weeks. I have not the slightest fear for the result. The difficulty has been strangely exaggerated and mis- understood. I can choose my current, and should I find all currents against me, I can make a very tolerahle head- way with the propelier. We have had no incidents worth recording. The night promises fair. Postscript by Mr. Ainsworth—I have little to record, except the fact (to me quite a surprising one) that, at an elevation equal to that of Cotopaxi I expericnced neither very intense cold nor headache, nor difficulty of breath- ing; neither, I find, did Mr. Mason, nor Mr. Holland, nor Sir Everard. A Osborne complained of constriction of the chest—but this soon wore off. We have flown at so great rate du ing the and we must be more than halfway across the Atlantic. . We have passed over some 20 or 30 vessels of various kinds, and all seem to be de- lightfully astonished. Crossing. the ocean in a balloon is not so difficult a feat after all. ' Monday, the 8th (Mf.

It is now 12 at night and we are still going nearly west at a rapid pace. The sea is peculiarly phosphorescent. Postscript by Mr. Ainsworth. —It is now 2 am. and nearly calm, as well as I can judge—but it is very difficult to determine this point, since we move with the air so completely. I have not slept since quitting Wheal-Vor, but can stand it no longer and must take a nap. We cannot be far from the American coast. i Tuesday, the 9th (Mr. Ainsworth’s entry).—i pm. We are in full view of , the low coast of South Caroll The great problem is accomplished. We have crossed the Atlantic — fairly and easily crossed it in a balloon. God be praised! Who shall say that anything is impossible hereafter? This ends the journal. 4 Some particulars of the descent were « communicated, however, by Mr. Ains= worth. to our newspaper representative. It was nearly dead calm when the voyagers first came in view of the coast, which was immediately recognized by both the seamen and by Mr. Osborne. ‘The latter gentleman having acquaint- ances at Fort Moultrie, it was imme- diately resolved to descend in its vicin- ity. The balloon was brought over the beach (the tide being oyt and the sand hard, smooth and admirably adapted. for a descent) and the grapnel (landing hook) let go, which took firm hold at once. The inhabitants of the island and of the fort thronged out, of course, to see the balloon; but it was with the t- est difficulty that any one could be made to credit the actual voyage-—the- zrt;}s‘ln[. of thel Afllnglc. ‘9 e. grapnel caught at 2 pm. pre- cisely; and thus the whole voyage was - completed in 75 hours, or rather less, goununr from shore to shore.
