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-
