Balloon D:);s Into Ja- maica Bay and Fish- ermen Go to Rescue. NEW YORK, Mday 31.—A Tyrolesé aéronaut naméd Wartscher left Coney fsland yestérday in péeculiar fashion. Twenty-two migutes latef, after a recklessly sensational flight through the air, hé was pickéd up unhconscious ana bleeding on Blackhill Marsh. He was booked to make a balloon ascen- sion at 4 o'clock in the aftérnoen, and, although the wind was blowing sea- ward, he decided to make the attempt. Most of the Décoration day population on the island was on hand to see the ascension. Wartschet’'s bailoon was dnshored with 100 eand basgs, which held it in place. He stood over the work of in- flating the great bag with 26,000 feet of gas, but the gas was found to have less than the usual buoyancy. When the balloofi was full Wartscher stood In his basket and tossed out sand ?ag after sand bag to raise himself rom the ground. The balldon. now treed from it4 ropes, rolled from side 6 8lde with every puff of wind. One wind flow waftéd against the tubular traming of the #ide. ' Thé néxt breeze picked the balloon up and dropped it suddanly from 4 Height of twenty feet. Thé man in the basket had to do some spry scrambling to save himself from bumps. Finally a favorabie puft took the bal- loon up, only to subside and drop it dgaih. Wartscher Had thrown out hif last sand bag, and now he édt lodsé his some out; and so, necessarily, iey-holder in San Fran- ar for his stock he You cannot serve a If you wish to bagm a I suggest that you himself into the cordage at the ring | which hang$ just above the basket and | 4ut loose the basket, which came | crashifig down.

The salloon was . sigiitéd by yachtdmen on Sheepshead Bay, who started to follow t, but were soon distanced. It was re- yorted fram Bergen Héach, and finally ‘romsRockaway Béach. Wartscher had ot _but soihe of his &as and struck a lower breese, which luckily bore him o the land. As he approached the jeach he tried to land the balloon, but jan upwara roll of the air current car- iled him cléar of the narrow land dtrip, barély tén yards above grouiid, and eut upon the witers of Jimalca Hay. As he drifted out morthiward over the bay watching yachtsmen tumbied into their craft and gave pursuit. But the breédé was brisk atid the balloon distanced thém. Its courde was erratic and dan- gerous for the asrohatit. Thé balloom would rise perhaps fifty feet, and theén plunge down to the water, wherd it would striké thie waveés broaddide and deatter spray, only to bound up again like a gréat élastic ball. Wartscher had strapped himself to the woodéh ring with his leathér belt.
