The Terrlfio Cold and the Peoullar
8tnutloni That Encompassed the
Daring Voyagers at an Altitude of
Ovar Five Mil The Desoant
One of the most terrific eiperlences
In the history of ballooning waa that
of throe aenmnuta who In 1875 made
an aacensiou In a large and well made
balloon, the Zenith. In tula voyago
the object was to reach tho greatest
possible altitude. The balloon rose to
a height of 23,000 feet-tlmt la, about
five and a half miles from the earth.
At this point something happened
what, no one will ever know, since the
only surviving balloonist, Tlssandler,
was at the time Insensible. But tho
balloon began a rapid full aud Dually
struck the ground with such a fright
ful shock that Slvel and Croce-Spln-nolll
were killed Instantly, whtlo Tls
Handler's life was spared by a miracle.
The account of this voyage Is per
haps best told In Tlssandler's own
words:
"At 23,000 feet we were standing up
In the car. f!lvel, wbo had given up
for a moment, was relnvlgorated.
Croce-Bptnnellt waa motionless In front
of me. I felt stupefied and frozen. 1
wished to put on my fur glovea. But
without being conscious of it the ac
tion of taking them from my pocket
necessitated an effort that 1 could no
longer make. I copy verbatim the fol
lowing lines which were written by
me, although I have no very distinct
remembrance of doing so. Tbey are
traced In a, hardly legible maunor by a
band trembling with cold:
"'My hands are frozen. I am all
right We are all right. Fog In tho
horizon, with llttlo rounded cirrus. We
aro ascending. Croee pants. He In
hales oxygeu. Slvel closes bis eyes.
Croco also closes his eyes. Slvel
throws out ballast.' Slvel seized bis
knife and cut successively three cords,
uud tho three bags emptied them
selves, and we ascended rapidly.
"When SI vol cut away the bags of
ballast at the liolglit of about 24,000
feet I seemed to remember that be was
Bitting at the bottom of tbo car and
nearly In tbe same position as Croee
Splnnelll. For my part, I was In the
angle of tbe cur, thanks to which sup
port' I was able to hold up, but I Boon
f-alt too won u even to turn my head to
look at my companions, tun
about 130 p. m. At 2:08 p. m. I
awoke for a moment and found the
balloon rapidly descending. I was able
to cut away u twig of ballast to check
the speed uud wrote In my notebook
the following nurds:
"'We are descending. Temperature.
8 degrees. I throw out ballast I!a
rometer. 12.4 Inches. We are descend
ing. Slvel uud t'roce still In a faint
ing state at the bottom of tho car
IHscemtlng very rapidly.'
"Hardly hnd I written these lines
when a kind of trembling seized me,
and I fell buck weakened again. There
was a violent wind from below up
ward, denoting a very rapid desceut
After some uilnutee I felt myself
shaken by tbe arm and recognized
t'roce, who hnd revived. Throw out
ballast,' he said to me. 'We ore de
scending.' But I could hardly open
my eyes and did not see whether SI
vel was awake. I called to mind that
Croee unfnxtened the aspirator, which
ho then threw overboard, and be threw
out ballast, rugs, etc.
"At 8:30 p. m. I opened my eyes
again. I felt dreadfully giddy aud op
pressed, but gradually came to myself.
The balloon was descending with
frightful apeed ami making great oscil
lations. I crept ' on my knees
and pulled Slve 1 Croee by the
arm, "SUvei; Ciou:' I exclaimed.
'Wake up!' My two companions were
huddled up motionless lu the car, cov
ered by their cloaks. 1 collected all my
strength and endeavored to raise them
up. Slvel's face wus black, bis eyes
dull, and his month wus open and full
of blood. Croee's eyes were half clos
ed, and his mouth was bloody,
"To relate what happened afterwurd
is impossible. 1 felt n frightful wind.
We were still 0.700 feet high. There
remained In the car two bags of bal
last, which I threw out, I was draw
ing near the enrth. I looked for my
knife to rut the small rope which held
the anchor, but could not Uud It I was
llko a niadumn and continued to call,
'Slvel, Shell' By good fortune 1 was
able to put my hand upon my knife
aud detach tho anchor at the right
momcut
"The shock on coming to tbe ground
was dreadful. The balloon seemed as
If it was being flattened. 1 thought It
was going to rctmilu where It had fall
en, but the wind was high, and It was
dragged across fields. Tbe bodies of
my unfortunate friends were shaken
about lu the car, and 1 thought every
moment they would be Jerked out At
length, however. I seized the valve
line, and the gas soon escaped from
the balloon, which lodged against a
tree. It was then 4 o'clock. On step
ping out I was seized with a feverish
attack aud sauk down and thought for
a moment thnt 1 was going to join my
friends in tbe next world, but 1 came
to.IJo.unci the bodies, pt my Wends ,
rold anil nf inf. I fiiul tbeih put under
shelter lu an adjacent barn. The de
scent of tbe Zeultli took place on the
plains 155 miles from Paris aa the
rrow flics. The greatest height at
tained In this ascent la estimated at
28,000 feet."-V. R, C. Lataon In Min
