ONE SAVED 'AS BY A MIRACLE he Terrine CeW and Ji ensatlewe That Ineewasaeesd the Derina Veysgere et an Alsitade ef Over lve hfllee The aeessas. One ef tbe most terrific experience In tbe history of ballooning was that! or tares aeronauts wno tn sore meaa an aseensteu In a -large and well made balloon, the Zenith. In this voyage the o tweet was to reach, Uf greatest possible altitude. ' The beJoon roe to a height of 28.000 test-that Is, about Ave and a half miles from the earth. At this point something happened what, no one will ever know, since the only anrvtvkig bsUooulst, Tawanatar, waa at the time laaenalblc But th be noon besjaB a rapid tan sad finally track the ground with such a fright ful shock that Blvel add Otaoa-Bpla-neUl were killed Instantly, while Tie sandler'e Ufa was spared by a miracle. Tlje account of tola voyage la per haps best told In Tlsaandler'a own words: "At 23,000 feet we were steading np In the car. Slvel, wbo bad given np for a moment, waa relnvlgorated. Croce-Sptnnelll waa motionless In front of me. I felt etupeaed and f rosea. 1 wished to pat on my fnr gloves. But without being csnsaspu ef It the ac tion of taking them from my pocket necessitated an effort that I coold no longer make. I copy verbatim the fol lowing lines which were walteeo by me, although 1 have no very distinct remembrance of doing aa They are traced In a hardly legible manner by a band trembling with cold: "'My hands are frozen. 1 am all right We are all right Fag in the hortion, with little rounded clrrne. We are ascending. Croce pants. Be in hale oxygen. Blvel closes his eyee. eroce also closes his eye. Blvel throw out ballast' Blvel seized his knife and cut successively three cords, and the three bags emptied them selves, and we ascended rapidly. "When Blvel cut away the bag ot ballast at tbe height ot about 24,00 feet 1 seemed to remember that he was sitting at tbe bottom of th car sad nearly In the aame position as Croce Bplnnelll. For my part, I waa In tbe angle ef the car, thanks to which sup port I waa able to bold up, but 1 soon felt too weak even to turn my bead to look at my companions. This was about 1:30 p. m. At 1:08 p. m. 1 awoke for a moment and found the balloon rapidly descending. I was able to cut away a bag ot ballast to check the speed and wrote In my notebook the following words: We are descending. Temperature, 8 degrees. I throw out bauast Ba rometer, 12-4 inches. W an descend ing. Blvel and Croce still In a taint ing state at the bottom ot tbe car. Descending very rapidly.' "Hardly bad I written these line when a kind of trembling seized me, and 1 feU back weakened again. There waa a violent wind from below up ward, denoting a. very sapid descent After some minute I felt myself shaken by the arm and recognised Croce, who bad revived. Throw out ballast,' he said to me. We are de scending.' But I could hardly open my eyee and did not see whether Bl vel wee awake. I called to mind that Croce unfastened tbe aspirator, which he then throw overboard, and ha threw oat ballast rugs, etc. "At 8:30 p. m. I opened my eye again. I felt dreadfully giddy aad op pressed, but graduallg came to myself. Tbe bauoon waa descending with frightful speed and making great oecll latlona. I crept along on my knee and pulled Slvel and Croc by the arm. "Blvel I Crocer I exclaimed. "Wake np!' My two companions or ere huddled up motionless In the ear. cov ered by tbelr cloaks. I collected ail my strength and endeavored to raise them nfi. Btyel'a face was black, hi eye dull, and, his mouth was open and fan of blood. Croce eyee were halt clos ed, and bis mouth was bloody. "To relate what happened afterward Is Impossible. 1 felt a frightful wind. We were still 9.T00 feet high. There remained In the car two bags of bal last, which I threw out I was draw ing near the earth. I looked for my knife to cut the small rope which held the anchor, but could not find it I was like a madman and contlnnea to call, Blvel, Blvel r By good fortune I was able to put my band upon my knife and detach the anchor at the right moment "Tbe shock on coming to tbe ground was dreadful. The balloon seemed aa If It was being Battened I thought It was going to remain where It had fall en, but the wind was high, and It was dragged serosa fields. The bodies of my unfortunate friends were shaken about in the car, and I thought (very moment they would be Jerked out At length, however, I seized the yalve line, and tbe gas soon escaped fi the balloon, which lodged against tree. It was tnen o-ciocx, un si ping out I was seized with a feverish attack and sank down and thought for a moment that I was going to Join my friends In the next world, but I came ta I found the bodies of my friends cold and stiff.
