Balloon .tlc3aKion
irr We are i ntl elite& to the "Hollidays
burg Register" for the following interest
ing account of the fearful aerial voyage of
Mr Wise, on the 4th inst.
The ascension of Mr. Wtsz in his new
and beautiful balloon " Vesperus" took
place on Saturday (the 4th inst.,) accor
ding to the notice given. The day was
entirely too stormy for an undertaking of
the kind, and in the opinion of every rea
sonable man would have tnlty justified
Mr. \Vise in postponing the adventure;
but trusting in the excellence of his vessel
and his skill as an aeronaut, tie determi
ned to make good his appointment and to
satisfy every individual of his numerous
audience. He accordingly, after a most
laborious and oft time discouraging eliort,
succeeded in sufficiently inflating his
Balloon, and getting ready for the voy.
age, an d at the hour appointed cut loose.
the ascent, although evidently hazard.
ous, from the rupture of the net-work by
which lie was attached to the balloon, and
from the unsteady and squally state of the
atmosphere, was sublime beyond descrip
tion. When the cord was cut he rose
slowly from the arena, barely clearing the
top of the enclosure, and taking a northern
direction he swept across the town just
escaping the house-tops; but discharging
a couple of sacks of ballast lie soon moun
ted high in the aerial regions td mingle
with, as we supposed, the less angry ele.-
ments above, But in this we were mis
taken, for long before the " Vesperus"
was out of sight, she was observed to be
rocking strangely, as if the elements Were
no mare friendly with her in her elevated
position than when bound to the earth.
rhe ac Count of Mr. Wise, subjoined,
gives a lull history of this part of his ad
venture.
The ascent of a Balloon is a spectacle
that to be realized must be witnessed.—
No description can convey a just idea of
its sublimity and beauty, as like some
creature of lite, it smoothly and silenity,
and steadily mounts upwards, with its
golden sides glittering in the rays of the
sun, and its tiny basket and well arranged
cordage swinging . gracefully beneath.—
And then as the intetpid aeronaut waves
his hat at a fearful altitude and sends
down a taint response to the loud hoz
rta below, and every breast heaves deep
ly with the conflicting emotions of admi
ration, fear, sympathy, and a desire for
like adventure, a thrill runs through the
soul that no descriptiou However true and
vi% id can produce.
e need only add here, as the evidence
yin be given again, that Mr. Wise's con.
duct on the occasion was highly satisfac
tory to all concerned. and must greatly
increase his reputation as an aeronaut; for
we' Venture 'to say no Other individual
ever attempted an ascension under like
eufavorable circumstances.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, we
heard of his return, and repairir,g to the
U. S. Hotel, we found Mr. Wise some•
what disheartened about the loss of his
balloon, and looking rather worse fur the
trip—his outer man having suffered con
siderably from his adventure among the
branches of the tree on which he lodged.
But meeting with a most heat ty welcome
from his friends, who on the spot mani.
fested their sympathy for him by contri
buting liberally towards procuring him a
new balloon, and by the generous conduct
of the committee who had engaged hitn,
he soon Felt relieved ; and now expresses
his determination to cross the Alleghenies
as soon as arrangements can be made.
Any information of his balloon, will of
course, be promptly forwarded to him at
Lancaster city.
Me. EDITOR :—For the information of
my many friends who were present at my
48th Atmospheric Voyage, made from the
town of Hollidaysburg, on Saturday the
4th inst., I shall turnibh you, for publica.'
Lion, all the particulars connected with
the adventure.
The process of Inflation was commen
ced at 11 o'clock, under very disparaging
circumstances, as the elements were coin
bioing from all points of the compass to a
general and boisterous storm. Nothing,
in short, but the most indefatigable ener;
gy and perseverance on the part of Mr.
Downy and Mr. David Woods, who had
taken the most important charge under
their control, could have enabled me to
make an ascension under such a war of the
storms. During the early part of the In
flation the re-action of the gas front the
Balloon blew off the gasometer, which
was soon repaired and replaced by my
energetic friend Mr. Hinkle, and the In
flation was again resumed; but such was
the violence of the frantic gamboling, of
the " Vesperus," that it continued tossing
to and fro my two friends who held it by
the neck, that I began to despair of their
ability to endure the rough usage they
were laboring under all the time. After
getting the assurance of those gentlemen
that they would hang on to " the last rib
bon" I retained my confidence in accom
plishing the ascension, until I received
the heart-sickennin. , information from
some friends that the net-work was fast
giving way about the top of the Balloon.
I now gave up all hopes of getting off,
and even greatly feared that the ..Vespe.
rus" would break through her trammels
and encape ; hut Providence sent a gleam
of sunshine, with a short abatement of the
storms, of about 25 minutes, during which
time we worked in a fresh supply of gas,
eutlicient for a loot , ." voyage. At precise
ly 3 minutes past 2o'clock I mounted the
car, add having ballasted the vessel it was
restrained for a few minutes by a rope.
But I felt that every surge of the Balloon
was increasing the rupture in the net
work, which by this time was so large that
a bulb as large as a hogshead was protru
dint; through it. Knowing then that time
was precious, I cut the rope and gave my
host of friends below a partint , ' salute,
which was heartily responded to by the
loud hurras of the thousand voices.
I now began to congratulate myself up
on the victory I had gained over such for
midable obstacles below, and felt compo
sure that the net-work would stand it
safely while the Balloon was free in the
air.
The Balloon took a northerly direction,
and was ascending rapidly until I reach
ed an altitude of about 4000 feet, where
it encountered a violent gale from the
west, swinging it to and fro, and cracking
the net-work at every surge. My heart
at once began to sicken at the idea of
falling away front the Balloon at that
height, with• nothing to protect me but
the car and net work ; and the sensations
and scene were rendered still more
gloomy by the lowering appearance of the
heavens in every direction, as around and
beneath, the clouds appeared to be dis
charging torrents of rain and wind. I
could also see the valleys west of the Al
legheny mauntain, where the sun was
shedding down its beams of light and life.
At this crisis an expedient flashed across
my mind. The valve rope would at least
bear a hundred pounds, and the top of the
Balloon being equally strong, I threw the
greatest part of the weight of my body up
on it. This necessarily opened the valve
to its full extent, and must soon bring the
machine to the ground. But the velocity
of the wind, (being at the rate of about
50 miles per hour,) carried me 16' miles
before I reached terra firma. 1 threw out
my Anchor, which grappled in a fence
and capsized it, and after bounding over
the field it caught again in the fence and
broke the rail. This concussion was so
violent, and I finding myself driving into
a rugged piece of timber land, I made an
attempt to jump overboard into a ploughed
field : but the Balloon rose with a violent
surge and I was caught in a hitch of the
ropes by one leg ; fortunately 1 grasped
the drag rope in an inverted position,
thinking I would hang on to that, if my
leg should be released.
Having lost considerable ballast in the
concussion, the Balloon in a few moments
dashed me into the top of a high tree in a
piece of woodland ; my leg still fast in
the rigging of tat• car. Here I took a
hitch to a limb of a tree, and even suc
ceeded in tying a firm knot. I now made
a desperate effort to release my foot from
the car which was tossing about in the
tree top, and the squalls aguinst the Bal
loon would draw the tree over, making
me fearful that.the top would be broken
off. By a violent kick I succeeded in re
-I..its'ng my foot, with the loss of my boot,
Irmo the car.
A single rope still held it fast to the
tree, and after I got a foot hold on the
tree I secured the valve cord in my hand ;
the squalls, however, became stronger,
until it broke the rope by which I had
lashed it to the tree top, with a terrible
crash, and jerked the valve rope through
my left hand, burning the skin to a crisp.
The Balloon in a few moments dashed out
of sight, the car keeping it in tolerable
I rim.
I discovered in viewing the machinery
that 1 had taken unnecessary alarm in the
breaking of the net-work, as it plainly
proved itself sufficiently strong to have
borne its load to any desired distance.
My regret was enhanced by the favorable
opportunity that was before me of reach
ing Philadelphia by early candle light.
After soliloquising in the tree top upon
the day's adventure for a while, 1 began
to clamber down its trunk, leaving the
end of the drag rope dangling in its top,
ready for a port of entry to touch at in my
contemplated trip from Pittsburg across
the mountains to the eastern cities, as
soon as I can rig up a new machine.
The car of the " Vesperus" had in it
6 copies of the Hollidaysburg "Standard,"
printed on the day of the ascension (4th
of May, 1844;) also a basket of provi
sions. Should the Balloon be found by
any person he shall be handsomely re
warded for returning it, or giving me no
tice of its whereabouts, by addressing me
in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania. 'rite
committee of arrangement whose untiring
energy was devoted to my assistance the
whole day, and who gave me such a cheer.
ing and flattering reception on my return,
with their hearts and hands, have my sin
cere and warmest thanks for their social
kindness, and noble generosity, in tender
ing me much more than the whole receipts
of the day, before they even knew of my
loss. Also those gentlemen from Hunt
ingdon, Mr. Woods and Mr. Wallace, for
their disinterested generosity in connec
tion with several gentlemen, who acted in
a double capacity of relieving me in my
loss of the " Vesperus," whisks shall soon
be replaced by their aid. My thanks are
also due to Mr. Joseph Jones at Locks.l4
and 15, for getting my hat from a tree.
Very respectfully your ob't serv't,

Who has lost a Balloon?
On the evening of the 4th inst. a balloon
alighted on the premises of the Rev. John
P. Van Valkenburg, of Lexington, in this

the balloon contained a lady's basket, m
which was a quantity of cake, a small
bottle, a t in cup, and several papers print
ed at Hollidaysburg, Pa., dated May 4,
1844. Attached to the basket was apa
per upon which was written "John Wise,
Philadelphia." The balloon was of a size
requiring about six hundred yards of silk.
The above is from the Catskill Record
