With the British Armies iu the Field,
I Feb. ::.iBv Mail.) Life iu an nhser
vatiun baloou .section is u great game of
I tag. Death is to tho Oilier Fellow. He
is always hot on your trail and every
now and then ho gets you iu a corner.
Then ymi 're it.
"(let the Major to tell you about the
time he was carried across the Oernuin
lines und back again all in one uight,"
said the young lieutenant, as we tugged
at the end but the major was toe mod
est. He said:
"Oh, all right. I'll tell you about it
after dinner tonight.'' He did not like
to talk about his own exploit though he
mentioned several of his men who had
beeen the heroes of adventurers in the
clouds. But I did not get to read the
official report of the incident and this
was the story.
Shortly after miduight one night the
Major, after carrying out certain ex
periment at about n mile high, signalled
that he was ready to come down. The
winch on the big lorry in the road be
gan to grind and at 12:17 a. in. the saus
age was swaying just out of reach of
the landing squad. Then "by an error
01 judgment, ns the report puts it,
the winch turned a revolution too fur.
The metallic V, where balloon 's short
cord was spliced to the wire cable, wed
ged iu the opening leading to the revol
ving drum, or windlass, and the cable
parted like a piece of sewing thread.
With I bound that jerked the basket
this way and that like a ball on the end
of an elastic string, the balloon went
skying.
TJp Nearly Three Miles.
At 12:21 a. m. the balloon was a mile
high. The Major had not used Ma paMb
cbnto, to which the harness about him
was still attached, because the wind at
mile and below, was away from the
Herman lines which rnn some two miles
away. Instead he pulled at the valve
cord to let out gas in the sausage.
.Still "valving". to use the vernacular
of the game, the officer, at 12:27 a. in.
found himself at above 10,000 feet or
about 2 miles above the sarth. It was
bitter cold and getting colder every instant-
At 12:40 a. m. he passed the 15,000
foot mark. Though he had been keep
ing the valve w ide open all the t inn-,
the balloon still soured.
How he looked downward. There were
lights below, lights which flared up for
a minute and then went out, great, white
balls of light hanging in the air and il
luminating the countryside beneath
them. , ,, .
The Major, in his sausage, was "cross
sing the line," He knew iu tin instant
what had happened. He bad risen to a
high cross-current of air and was being
swept over the German trenches into
German territory.
It was too late to jump now. If he
tried the parachute and landed safely,
it would be only to be taken prisoner
by the nemy.
Could See Nothing.
So cold that his marrow seemed fro
zen, he now set ab&tit to tear up his
maps, notes and everything which might
help the Hermans. Leaning out of the
basket and peering down he could no
longer see the flares sent up to light
the trenches. The indicator showed
that he was falling now, rather rapidly.
Making sure that he had destroyed
all papers, he waited.
Still falling, the major threw out
