BALLOON BETWEEN TWO STORMS FORCED TO COME TO EARTH Captain Honeywell Tells Story of His Flight in ' "Uncle Sam" of Portland, DR. STEWART PRAISED Baibd Into Air Without KaTlng- Completed Their Arrangements for tbe Trip. (Hper-lal to The Journal.) Oregon City, June 1J. "We left Portland at 4:10 p. m., as scheduled," KiiHped Captain II. E. Honeywell be tween instructions and assistance to the farmers of the Beaver Creek dis trict, who were folding up the big bal loon ' bag and packing the accessories preparatory to sending them to Port land. "We were rushed off so fast that I was not ready. All our arctic clothes, part of our dry batteries and other things were left behind, but greatly handicapped us and ultimately caused tin to land before we otherwise would have. We rose to 3000 feet, and srtuck an eusterly current of air which would have taken us up the Columbia rive1 basin. I dropped down to an altitude of 600 feet and struck the current which propelled the balloon southeast. Oas Expanded by Sun. r "We were hitting at about the rate of 15 miles until we reached the Clack amas rtver. Just north of Oregon City, when the nun came out from behind a heavy bank of clouds in the west, ex pandlng our gas, which caused an up ward flight of the balloon to an alti tue of 6000 feet, the highest we reached on the trip. Here we struck a dead calm and hovered over Oregon City fully 40 minuteH. When the sun again went behind cloud, allowing the gas to Contract, we allowed the balloon to drop to the original 500 foot level where we again caught the same southeasterly current of air. Our intentions now were to run between the two electric storms which were observed, one to the east and one to the West. In other words, we were in a .grtfat vortex. The storm 'on our west was going southerly and the one to the southeast or east of us was going -northerly. About five mllen soutu rrom the place we landed we struck a counter current which brought us back. For' economical purposes we dropped our trailer. This was when the heavens became encanopied with vast cloud. 'The two storms came together, and ve were in the center with light ning playing all over the heavens above us. We saw there was no oppor tunity of going south and avoiding the storm, so decided to take advantage o the northern drift- and back out of danger. About this time lightning struck the balloon. That was about 7:30 p. m., or about 15 minutes before we landed we saw no fire, but felt the lightning run around the rim of my hat and could feel my body vibrate as If I was taking ah electrical cur rent. Not thinking of any danger, w trailed on In-a northerly direction. "In about five minutes a heavy bolt hit th 'baJIobn. causing fire to fly Irom the" rlgglngBr. and again I felt a chock- pass 'through my body, termin ating In the ground through our trail rope a perfect conductor, being wet. This became too close to home and too Interesting for me,, as both of us have families and loved ones at home. I decided to land, but before a suitable place was found we were again hit by a lightning bolt, which caused me to - make a hurried descent upon Mr. Lind ley's farm at about 7:45 p. m. Here we grabbed our Instruments and acces- sories, which would become the most damaged by the rain, and ran for the barn. About that time a large dead tree within 40 yards of us was struck by lightning, which set fire to the tree and tore off some of the bark. ... "We had ample ballast, thousands of pounds, which would have run us eas ily 48 hours. I wish to say here that -I obtained the best gas from Portland that I ever had in a balloon and all conditions favorable there should be no reason. why we could not make a long .run. Mr. Stuart had not .ob tained his wife's permission and went in last night. This was my one hun dred and ninety-fifth ascent and It is the first time I have ever encountered an electrical storm. A little Incident which happened as we left Portland, pleased me considerably," continued Captain Honeywell. "Just as '. we arose, a salute was fired from the old cruiser Boston and It did my leart good to hear and to know the old warship was able to yet fire a gun. I was in the battle of Manila bay with the Boston. I was on Admiral Dewey's boat.'' Mr. Honeywell stayed at the Llnds ley farm all night and this morning Packed up his balloon and accessories and shipped them to Portland. He In tends making another ascension from Portland if he can obtain the financial backing, ani it is quite probable this . will be done. Captain Honeywell was loud rn his praise of Dr. Htuart's conduct on the trip- T ' . - :- - ' ' A HUGE AEROSTATS WATCHED BY ENTIRE CITY AS THEY START RACE AA-AA rerpetatl Motion; ',-; ' - -Hall.
