Thin proved a fearful °ohm lotion. for no sooner was the still inflated body relieved ofthe weight Cribe car than it shot intolhe air with the suddeness of it„ rocket, Caking Mr. Thurston along with it; seated upon Ilse valve of the balloon, and holding on to the collapsed silk of the air ship in that por tion of its bulk. la this perfectly helpless condition the ill fated man sped straight into 1 the sky in the full sight of his campani, : ns, even more helpless than himself. So far as is known there,was no possible means for hint. to secure his descent, whether safe or other- I wise. The - Pint -of of the balloon filled with gas was full twelve feet obovc him so :that there was no chance for Min to cut it and es cape. lie could only cling to his, precarious hold and go whithersoever the currents of air should take him.

It was still going up and on At a qu.rter past I' o'clock it was last dimly visible, going in the direction of Malden, as ntsciirtained by cont' paoo bearings Aitken by parties observing it. What is his exact fate baffles conjecture : but that it is horrible 'almost . beyond prece dent there Call be no dOubt.. There is not one chance in a million for a successful escape: Whether the mnfortunate man was carried up so high,,arito become benumed and senseless, death ennuini; or whether he'fell off at length from his tremendous altitude. to have his breath sucked from him in his fearful descent rind to be sunk in the lake or dashed into a shapeless mass upon the'earth.
