Count Zambeceari was golng to as- oend from Bologna in a balloon hold- ing 14,000 cublo feet of gas, and nought for two friends to accompany him on his trlp- These were found in Der. Grassett!, of Rome, and myself. The week before the ascension, while we were making preparations, was a time of great excltement for us. The ocount was thoroughly ocool; he had often trusted himself to the frail ship and risked his life; but with us it was different. Two things made an serial trip perilous: First, the covering must be chosen of some light materlal, which is therefore less durable and firm; and, secondly, one 1s entirely dependent the wind, Wherever i¢ takes the , and however it drives ls—whether -lovl&.or swiftly, or with the fatal fary of one must submit, For this reason in the morning we began to fill the balloon, “for which we had provided 200 r«ndl of fron filings, 6,000 pounds of zino and 8,600 pounds of sulphurio acld. But hour after hour pessed; the increasing volume of gas 'was very evident, and yet t was not filled,. Noon oame; o'clock; we had reached pernapa 7,000 cublo feet of gas, and Zambecoari sald to ua: us: *‘Ascending to-day Is not to be thooght of; it will be night before the balloon wiit be filled," ‘We saw he was right.

When at laat, about | midnight, the Count told us the work was done, we did not know what would happen. We did not want to ascend, yet we knew well that the people would not be »o easily deprived of the desired sight. Zambeooari mounted a Lml. gota hearing, and announced to th tor that as nothing could be seen right, he would ascend in the morning; the balloon was now filled; they oonn‘l go quietly home, and next morning the ascension would take place. But what ories arose! How the “‘What?" screamea the people, “‘we stand here sixteen hours and see nothing! We have walted since morning, and now shall we -go home? Go up!

The sun would appear above the horison at about 6:46 o'clock, and it was 12:16 when we ascended.

Only too soon we perceived the In- floence of the cold and the rarefied air. Howhigh we were I do not know, but we began to shiver in the frozen atmosphere; ovr teeth chat- tered, and we crowded together, Dr. Grassettl soor mfn feeble, began to gaap, staggered, struggled convul- sively, closed his eyes, and moved no more.

Now think of my situation! The wax light in the lantern was ex- tinguished. I valnly trled to Jight it ain with tapers; it would not igoite, With much trouble I obtained a light with ordinary matches. I had soarcely succeeded tn this when I was took great force of will to keep on my legs. Balanced between heaven and earth, the balloon flew on awift as an arrow. At my side lay the two had falnted or were dead. I was without means of delivering myself from so horrible a condition, Yet it became ‘worse, Hark! What hollow roar was that below us? It was the surging of the ocean, It could be nothing else. We must have been hurled through the alr a distance of over a hundred miles, and, according to the direction of the wind, had now reached the region of thosea. What nowt! It would be impossible to descend untll we were agaln above land. In valn I strove to Thhiog morer Fainting Into the darkness and upon the moon- lit clouds.

All at once a frightful thought came to me; the clouds were not floating up, but we were falling! I bent over the side of the basket—yes, yes, I heard plain. or and louder the roar of the ocean as we rushed downward. How it hap- ened I do not know; whether the loon got some opening above,which let the gas escape, or what else. I looked over agaln. Almighty God! be gractous and merciful to us! We were about to sink in the sea. r:gped 0ok @ neares! him, and called to him: wake! awake! We are falling Into the ocean!" Then I bent far out again and stared downward — yes, WAS A gray mass of crowding billows; there it bolled and seethed and foamed—one moment more we should be burled in the flood, ‘Zambeooari!” I shrieked, seizing him in @ con7ulsive grasp, ‘‘we are plunging into the sea!” and I looked over again Into our watery grave. The Count lifted his head, and whis- | ge: pered: "Bdnhlfn—oun“u—l:.l;uy ;l:od himself, mechanically o of sand that we had in our bask 0; I lald hold of it, to; Z ::¥ quickly recovered himsell, we worked the up, we got it over the slde; the doctor to himself also, in a moment understood the situation, en. ergetloally hurled baroweter, compass, the whole oollection of instruments and our provisions, all, all overboard. In another moment the basket touched the water, and we were drenched by the salt water. But at the same in- stant again we flew aloft with the od of an arrow, We were in the er only long enough to fill o ket half full, and wet us to the skin, The balloon had now nothing to carry but us three; the water ran out of the basket, and we flew again into space. Great heavens! That was an ascen slon! Ina trice we had reached the oloudn—gone through and above them, Now we polsed over the clouds far be- low; before us the blood-red moon shone on the vaporous masses and upon us poor children of earth, {rem. bling with cold In our frail basket. The cold euddenly frozo the water; our wet clothes were coated with lce. Wo felt sharp stabs in every joint; we groaned with pain; we had no longer any llfht; we wero 80 stiff we could scarcely move; and the wind stlll drove us continuslly northeast. How many hours had passedi The moon shone plain enough for us to look, but no one of us could bend a finger to get his watch out of his pocket. At last Dr. Grassetti succeeded in drawing the count's watoh out of his vest pock- et, and our united exertions o out that {t was 3:10, When we had sohleved this feas and looked about :un, Corur, we discovered again that we wi 1ng, bui not quickly—not 1n a alarm—only we had now nof 5 nothing st all, to throw out, so there WAS DO ros or us, The balloon sank more and more d floated for a long time & bove the ocean; but 1t did not stay there; had more danger to go through, and danger without rallel, 'he balloon ssuk; the ket slid along the water, drawn with lightning rapidity by its globe of . Nearly dead with anxiety, we clang to the alde of the basket; we shrieked, we trembled, we crouched, we tried to evade death, whose hand waa outstretched to selze us. Bud- denly the balloon again flew twenty or thirty feet high, and then again dng‘nd us olose over the water—yet higher, high as a house——now it sank again, and towed us on the waves. This hellish dance lasted for five hoars, It was & continasl hopping and springing of the balloon, acoord- Ing as the gale of wind took it. If the wind was weak, the balloon sunk, and our basket, lylng on its side, drawn over the sea; but each stron, rut harried balloon and us wit t up on high, and more than once this and that one was hurried half ont of the basket, and it was wonderfully good fortune that none of us fell ac- taally lato the water. . Imagine this terrible five hours’ sirife against death! No, you cannot. The wildest fanoy could not equal the reality. I cannot concelve how we rastained for five hours such a wrestle with death. About 8 o'clock we were dlscovered, ten miles from the Istrian coast, by a ssllor, Anton Pazol. This ended the witch-dance. He steered his ship dexterovaly that he fished us up after we bad sprung out of the basket, The balloom, thus lightened, rose in the alr, darted In the same direction till it reached Earopean Turkey, and (as we heard later) came down near the town of Binacs, in Bosnia, Pazol conveyed vs to Pola, In Istrla, where we had medical asslstance.

Think of our experience. Chased into our basket by a mob which menaced us with death; then falling by night from the sky to the sen; like lightning flylng up again to the reglon of ice, frozen stiff; agair plunged down; for five hours dragged along the roaring waver; snatched on high; submerged, whirled around in the air—it wus dlabolical us haman imagination can conceive.
