It was then anchored to some trees, where it was exposed to a strong wind. It was soon torn away from its moorings, carried over some telegraph wires to a height of 1, 000 ft. , and subsequently dashed against trees with considerable violence. The envelope was completely destroyed, but three soldiers, who had been left in the car to attend to it, escaped without ...serious injury. The Minister of War provided immediate facilities for the work of repair. It was astonishing to find how easily the repairs were executed without having recourse to the factory at Moisson, and without the provision of any special appliances. This was due in large measure to the energy displayed by Julliot, who showed great ability in controlling the execution of the work. A riding- school belonging to the 39th Artillery Regiment was used as a workshop. Another riding-school was also placed at their dis- posal, and the ground was excavated so that the balloon, together with the car, could be placed on the floor.
