TERILS OF BALLOOMXt.
BONALPPON AND GTIIMAVOOD'S FATAL VOY
AGE THE THRILLING HIDE OF LA MOUN
TAIN AND WISE OVER LAKE ONTARIO.
The loss of Prof. "Wise and his com
panion, George T. Burr, of 8t. Ixuis,
recalls the last pprial voyage of Prof.
Donaldson, a noted American balloonist.
Donaldson was originally a tight-rope
performer, and took up ballooning about
the year 1S70. P.etween that time and
Is7." he made. 130 successful ascensions.
ami had many hair-breadth escapes. His
1 -'Jl't li anil List ascension was made at
Chicago, on July loth, ls7.". The bal
loon was the P. T. Darn urn. Sdie car
ried S:$,m,"0 cubic feet of gas and SOU
pounds of sand. Mr. Grimwood, of the
Journal, and Mr. Maitland of the Pout,
were to go with Mr. Donaldson.
Mr. E. E. Wood, a brother reporter,
approached Mr. Grimwood a few mo
ments W-fore he entered the basket. "I
only care to go thisonce, just for the ex
perience," said Mr. Grimwood.
"The wind's unfavorable, but ier
haps an upjier current will make that all
right,1" Mr. AVood remarked.
Grim wood laughed. "It won't work,'
he said, with a shake of the head.1' They
ar trying to frighten the reporters by
saying that Donaldson exjwets to be
carried into Michigan, with the chances
of being gone two or three dajs. It
won't work."
"Well," replied Mr. Wood, "what's
the difference ? If you .should tly over
to Michigan the trip would be all the
more interesting, and you'd have a
chance to spread in the Journal.'''
"That's so," said Grimwood. "Come
to think of it I'd like to land in Michi
gan. Hut if I'm going so tar from home
I ought to have more money."
lie iHjrrowed, a ?10 bill from a Mr.
Adams, another rejorter, saying, "1
guess that'll do."
Mr Wood then gave Grimwood a field
glass to aid his observations while in
mid-air. A life-preserver was thrown
into the car. Grimwood said: "If I
should see that we're settling into the
lake. I'll pull off my boots, and slap on i
the life-preserver. I'm a good swimmer,
and can stand a good deal. 1
Tlie two reporters stepied into the
basket. Donaldson followed. ThebJ
loon was overburdened, and he said that
only one reporter could accompany him.
He called for a volunteer to remain le
hind. Neither reiMirter moved. Mait-
! land pulled a copper from his jiocket
and (lipped it in the air, and Grimwood
shouted "head." Maitland won. and

: terfered. "Gentlemen," said he, "the neath them, the trees waving and the
: lots must be jast in the usual wav. un- i waves dashing against theshore of Erie

paix-r, and shiM.k them in a police ollicer's
hat. The hat was held aloft, and the ,
otlicer drew the decisive slip. It was I
( 'rimwooil's death-warrant, lle.stej-.ped !
I back into the basket witli Donaldson
and Maitland desjiondeiitly withIrew.
The balloon rose gracefully to an al-
i titude of about 5.mhj feet and lloated
steadily to tlie northeast, out over Eake
Michigan, and in a direct ion that won id,
! if followed, take them near Grand
; Haven, Midi., 120 miles distant. Tliou
! sands of ujitunied eyes watched t he Bar
I num. as it moved steadily before the
! breeze at a rate of about fifteen miles an j
I hour. At tit, one hour and a half from
the time of starting, many eyes were j et
fastened ujion tlie balloon.
At 7. p. m. the Little Guide, a small
craft standing out some thirty miles
fn.m the Illinois sl.ore, sighted the bal
loon, it was ti
n occasionally Iiiiiiilc
its basket in the lake, only a mile and a
half away. The schooner headed for it ,
but before 't could overtake it there
seemed to be a sudden lightening of the
car, and the balloon shot upward to a
great height, and soon disaieared.
j This was the hist ever seen of the bal
! loon. That night a terrilie storm swept
i d.iwn ujx-n the lake. How the two men
j met their fate was never known ; but on
j the Pith of August the body of Grim
i wood was found on the east shore of
Eake Michigan, near Stony cieek. The
body was fully identified. It was com
jiletely clothed, excejit that the hat and
j boots were missing, and around the lxvly
j was a broken life-preserver. His watch,
I pajiers, letters, fruit-knife, a certificate
of metnlershii in the Chicago Public
Library, and the held glass that was so
kindly furnished by Mr. Wood were also
found njon his body.
Nothing has been heard of Donaldson,
nor have anv remains of the balloon
! been discovered. The finding of Grim-
wood's body, however, established the
fact that they lost their lives in the lake.
There was nothing to indicateas to how
death was met; whether the ball on
was struck by lightning anil collajised
in mid-air ; whet her the balloon struck
the water and was burst, leaving the
men to battle with the waves, only at ; gone but an overcoat and two blankets,

that they prepared for the worst by

and to meet the last they put on their
life-jueservers. The basket, coming
down into the water, tilled, ami was
virtually at anchor. The hurricane and

satery grave.
The great :erial voyage from the Mis
' sissiotii to the Atlatilie coast lierran on
j July 1, 1 "'.). It wa.s the longest trij
! ever made in a balloon. The advvnt
' urers were .John La Mountain, a noted
! n-ronant, O. A. f 'ager, John Wise and
Wm. Hyde, of the St. Louis iiJtti'ica.i.
Mr. Hyde described the trip in. a long
letter to his journal. lie said that they
left St. Louis at 0j p. m. The cargo
consisted of '.WJ roun.lsof sand, in l:ig-s;
allarge quantity of :old chickens, tongues.
jMitted meats, sandwiclies, etc.; nu
i merous dark-colored, loug-netkeil ves
sels, containing champagne, clierry,
j sparkling Catawba, claret, Madeira,
brandy and imrter ; a pit-;it:UU sujiplyot
overcoats, shawls, blankets and fur
gloves ; a couple or three carjtet-bags ;
a pail of iced lemonade and a bucket of
water ; a compass, barometer, thermo
meter and chart ; bundles of the prin
cipal St. Louis newspajers ; an express
package, directed to New York city ;
cards of candidates for clerkships in
several of the courts; tumblers, cups,
knives and other articles.
The balloon, the Atlantic, with its
fonr passengers, sailed off in a north
easterly direction, and in less than two
hours, at a height of aliouL one mile,
struck the current that the aeronauts
had declared was always Mowing in the
upjier regions from west to east. Tin;
discovery greatly elated Prof. Wise.
There broke from his lijisaliltle cough,
MAKES TREE, AND ALL ARK SLAVES BESIDE.
and saying, "Boys, let's sing," he stuck
up the stirring national anthem, "Hail
Columbia," in which all joined, through
the frigidity of the atmosphere put quite
a damper on patriotism and melody.
A little after midnight their were mo
mentary flashes of lightning on all sides
of tlie horizon. The milky way appear
ed like luminous phosphorescent clouds,
and heaven's jeweled tiara of stars
glistened Wlow and above. Night's
queenly brow shimmered with the mel
low light of the new-born crescent moon.
The mighty scroll of the cerulean-pillared
firmament glittered all ovt-r with
gorgeous heraldry.
Day broke at 3 o'clock, and dogs be
gan to bark. At 4.15 they sailed over
Fort Wayne, Ind., and could hear the
shouts of its inhabitants. At 5.15 they
described in the east what at lirst ai
peared to be a rellection of the sun on
the sky. One of the party asserted that
they were not many miles from a lake.
The noble air vessel was rushing along
at a brisk rate, dragging its shadow on
the ground encircled in fantastic colors.
There was no doubt that what had at
first seemed a brilliancy of the eastern
heavens was nothing less than an im
mense body of water. The aeronauts
concluded that it could only le Lake
Erie, and they were riitht, for, tracing
theshore and observing tlie little islands,
its contour corresponded almost precise
ly with the m;ip.
A sublimer scene now broke on hu
man view. Eake Erie has a surface of
7,soo square miles, and, although they
could not W-hold the whole of it, the
view lost none of its magnificence.
Groups of white clouds, like great puffs
from a steam pipe, floated languidly on
every side, unfolding their gauze-like
robes, and passing off in eddying cur
rents. There was a collection of houses
huddled together at the mouth of the
Mauruee. It was Toledo. There, in
that great bend, dotted with specks of
land, Peiry gained his victory in 113.
At 7:25 they swept over Sandusky,
and floated out on the bottom of the
lake. At i':3U they overtook a buffalo
steamer and were hailed with a shrill

the balloon brought them in sight of
lhifialo and Niagara falls, as also the
Welhind canal. They had rvached a
height of over a mile, the barometer
marking 23. U inches. At 12:3') they
were nearly between the fails and Buf
falo, inclining rather t- the left of the
latter. '1 he ianious talis were quite in-
significant. There was to the voyagers .
a descent 01 seenr.ii'-ly about two teet, ;
ami the water aj-jH-ared to be j-rfectly
motionless. The sju'iiy gave the whole j
an apiearan."e as ot ice, and there was :
nothing grand or sublime about it.
Passing the western terminus of the !
Erie canal, '.he balloon was borne di- j
rectly toward Lake Ontario, The bal- I
last was now nearly exhausted, and to 1
have determined on crossing the second !
lake would have been sheer recklessness
and hardihood. Here it was debated ;
whether it were better to land Messrs. ';
Gagerand Hyde ami in their stead take
in sufficient quantity of new ballast and ,
again stet r tor tlie Atlantic ocean. The
air ship was lowered, but was inmie- ;
dia'ely caught in the hurricane which'
was then raging, and earned very near
the tops of trees, which were bending
and swaying to and fro by the force of
the wind. Mr. La Mountain at oner
threw over the buckets and their con
tents, and the life this gave them kept
thein from being crushed in the woods.
Like a bullet they shot out into the
lake. The boat was got in readiness,
and the trooping winds sent them out
of sight of land. They were in a dreary

i ened to tear them limb from limb. Mr.

and its terrible strength would tear
them down and Ming them to the ground, j
One by one the books broke olf, and
they were again at the mercy of an all
sweeping wind. Messrs. La .Mountain
and Hyde held on to the valve rope, en
deavoring to discharge the gas, bnt
were quickly conijH'lled to release their
grasj, and cling to the concentrating
hoop to avoid being thrown out.
The balloon actually went through a
mile of forest, and. tearing down trees
and breaking branches, juirsip-d its course
dashing the party in the wiilow car to
and fro, against trunks and limbs, until
the stout netting had broken, little by
little, and the balloon itself bad no
longer any jirotection, when, striking a
tall tree, the silk was punctured in a
dozen places, and rent into ribbons,
leaving the car suspended by the netting
twenty feet above the ground. The
course in tlie woods left a path similar
to that of a tornado. Trees half the
size of a man's arm were snapied in
twain as though they were pine-stems,
and huge limbs, were scattered like
leaves.
The landing was made within lot)
yards of a settlement, ami the crash was
so great that the peojile ran to the spot
to see what had happened. Singular as
SI.50 and
it would appear, there wa.s only one of
the four injured, Mr, Pa Mountain re
ceiving some slight contusions about
one of his hips. The remainder escap
ed without a scratch. When thev got
down, partly by rojH-s and partly i.y
means of a broken tree, several persons
were standing around with otien months
and eyes staring out in wonder. They
then learned that they had landed on a
farm of Truman O. Whitnev. near Sac
kett's Harbor, in the town of Henderson
Jefferson county, X. V. Bv Mr. Ea
Mountain's watch the time "was 2 o'
clock and twenty minutes.
They had been nineteen hours and
forty minutes traveling a distance
which cannot be computed at less than
1.200 miles.

long distance to a spring on the moun

when about two hundred feet from the

a free stream of water that empties into
the river. Now one sunny day Mr.
I Bedding saw several trout swim nut of

: not covered. There was water enough
I in the sjiout for the fish to swim in by

little fellows until they reached the

was originally a war-cry adopted by tli
assailants of a German city, in which
many Jews had taken refuge. The place,
was taken, and they were all put to the
sword, amid shouts of "II it rosy ma est

those words an exclamation was con
trived." A cow that wore a liell having been
run over and killed on a railroad, the
owner brought suit against the railroad
company for damages. It was proved
that tlie engineer rang his lell and
tried to frighten the cow off the track,
but the farmer's lawyer also proved that
the. cow rang her liell and tried to frigh
ten the engine off the track, and so the
jury decided in his favor.

the men posted themselves. Inside the oval
eight mine wagons were drawn up for the
purpose of corralling the animals, and there
was also a pit provided tor sheltering the
wounded. Outside the oval and on a bit
of ri.-siiig ground to the southeast Were the
pits thrown up by Captain Dodge's men, and
behind them ran a path to the nearest ben.i
of the Milk river, w hich was used lor obtain
ing water. It wasat a point north of Dodge's
iilfc fin. rill N- l-inlj from In l.-if Ii
that Tlioniburg feii. A more complete trap
could not be contrived, for the troops were
not only ouuinm;ereil out exposed to a gall
ing fire from bluffs over the edge of which it
was impos'.ble to reach the f.e, as the range
of sight would, of course, carry bullets clear
over the Indian pits.
Captain Dodge's feat appears inore admi
rable tlie more it is dwelt upon by everybody
except the modest Captain. A soldier with
Payne thus speaks ol the arrival of Dodge
and his colored company :

(iorlon. the scout who was riding in advance.
i we might have poured in a volley r-.t them:
i but von bet your hie there wasn t no volley
except cheers when Gordon rode in with live
j or six darkies alongside t liiia. Pretty soon
; he told us what was up, and what to expect,
: ami when Captain Dod-re came up at a can
. ter, leading the rest oi his men, we din't take
' much account, cxeejit t. wonder a iktlc at
the color of their faces. It w ts the greatest
marvel to me and all of us at th.s minute
that the 1'tes didn't pour in a heavy Sire
i when they liearl us cheer. We forgot ail
about the d it'trer ol exposinn oiirsep.es an l
leaped up out of tin- pit to shake I, amis ail
around. '" Why, " eon ii 1 1 a", i tins oi.ii.-i-, wilh
: curious naivete, "we look those darkle- ii:
right along with us in the juts. We let 'em
sleep w ilh us, and they took tln-ii kuivesainl
cut oiT jdij's fit bacon fr"iu the same sides as
: we did."
"That's so," exclaimed another trojer,
. "and one darkey has not a knife with a dent
in it that was made by a t'tc build when he
was reaching up to carve a si'.." of? of the
' hoc; foi tilt. -at ion in front ol my trer.'-h."
Another cavalryman said: "Veil ought
to have seen th.-m" lajars and watched how
they behave.!. You know It wasn't any lun
goi,t for water even in the niht lime, let
alone dayli'-fi.t. Hut one afternoon one i.ioi.e
got terribly thir.-sty; the tiring had stopj'ed
lor (uite si spell, and says he, -Well, boss,
I'se powerful dry, and somebody's got to git
waier fo' me. or I'se -jot to git water to'
somebody,' so w hat does that moke do hut
take two pails in broad daylight and go dow n
an.l bring 'cm both back lull ! wal.-r, and
the 1 ti j mis ii-vei lifted a hair "u him."
The colored sergeant of !b..ige'.- company
tells the following slory in this wis,, in terms
of natural pride :
'We did not know what we were to find
when we went in tlh-re, whether a cahijiluil
of live men r dead fo.-m. We went i:i though,
and they were mighty g.ad to see us. We
were rather surprised when we found how
things la that the I'tes did not tire on us as
we went in and slan t us all to pieces. Hut
(with an :iHii;--ii:g grin ) it was early in the
morning and 1 expect they were deceived by
the coiof of our complexions. At any rate
we got in and there we stuck. Afterwards
we had to go out and make trenches for our
selves under a heavy lire. While we were
digging, and when we g"t abop.l an i :i-!t be
low the ground, the reds saw tin- outlines .f
tlie new trench in the catly d.i-.vn, and made
it so hot that we were ghei to imp o::t ;h I:';ip1
some wagons and wait ti l we got another
show. '1 he water," continued the sergeant,
"was the hardest thing to get of ail. -some
call it 2i0 yards to that water : some wore,
some less but I paced it oil' one night my
: seif, and it was 4'.J yards, or 1 aia a white
man."
For the fir.-t three days, according to ail
the ollicers and soldiers, who were th.-re, the
situation was chiefly horrible from the con
stant wouimN and .b-a'Ji strugg'es of the poor
; animals, which they could in no way protect
from the Indian lire. "I".'. ; y f, -,v minutes,"
', savs one "you heard the living gurgle of a
horse or a mule, and although we fastened
them as .securely as j.ossibie at night their
angs were such that they would often break
away after being hit, threatening the men's
lives in the trenches. hi'i' a womiued horse
leajied in Ids agony right into the pit we had
dug for the 'wounded, where Lieutenant
Paddock and. seven men wee lying at the
time. It was a miracle alm.e-t that he did
not traini them to death. As it was we ail
opened a terrific fire on the bluffs, so as to
make tho I'tes stop firing, and under cover
of this fusilailc a lot f.f our boys jumped up
and hauled the horse cut of the tieiu li. We
had to watch out continually to give danger
ously wounded horses ami mule-, their quie
tus." f they got cavorting after receiving an
Indian bullet, and we could see that they
w.-rc maimed or fatally injured, the soldiers
would take rim and finish them. It was
awfully hard once in a while. A friend of
mine got three flesh wounds in try ingtos.ive
his horse's life. Finally, the horse was shot
through one of his forelegs. Instead of
; writhing around like the others he came hob
! h'.ittg up to the edge of the pit vvlier;- Joe and
I were and locked down at Joe as if to say,
: 'Beip me for (iod's sake : Joe turned to !
I we an 1 sai l, says he, 'You'll have to finish
him. Hank : I ca'n't c.o it ; by (i-vf, 1 can't .'
, I wat -bed te.y chance as the horc tunic. 1
and put a bail in right behind his left car ,
an l dropped Vim. That night wo hauled him ;
i outside with the rest."
i Ther" wi re several pet dgs in the c.n-.p,
! among them a beautiful grcCivoid be '.!. g
' ing to Lictepant Cherry. ""1 use 1 to I, t
i him out of n v j it vcf..ior.a'ly," says th -.
lieuto'ir.nt, "to run down to the water. One

, ofb It turned out that h" bad been fired on
i by one ef our own set, thiols, r.ho mist ..k
him lor a crawling Indian. There w as n.,th
I ing to do but kid the poor old fellow to save
him misery."
i )ne i lorni nga so'. Per (if Payne's command,
I wounded in the arm, and soil! that he had
i no ai'j-e'i'.e P:rtwo d.tys, turned to a rcgro
'soldier flose !v him. saving. "Here, pard,

i colored hi re thus ad. Ires el, whoso name the
I parrot or ''ou'd not re-a!l, answered no' a
' word, hut set to work. There was no colTee
; in the pit, but there was some in the next
I one which was tossed over. But how C
i make a fire withou w-.d, that was the ques
tion. The colored man ca'cu'.ated the
' rliances. made a break for the piit'er'R wagon.
snatched a loose side of n provision box and
came back with a bullet hole in the board,
which was meant for hU own body. Then
he made a fire in the corner of the pit and
prepared the coffee for bis patient.
