According to Cavallo, ' ' The aerostat left the ground at 54 minutes past one o'clock, passed safely over some high trees, and ascended calmly and majestically into the atmosphere. The aeronauts having reached an altitude of about 280 ft. Took off their hats and saluted the surprised multitude. They then rose too high to be distinguished, so that the machine itself was scarcely distinguishable. When they rose, the wind was very nearly north-west, and it is said that the machine in rising made h...alf a turn round its own axis. The wind drove them horizontally over the River Seine and over Paris. They passed between the Hotel des Invalides and Ecole Militaire and approached St. Sulpice, but as they were rather low the fire was increased in order to clear the houses, and in rising higher they met with a current of air which carried them southward. They passed the Boulevard ; and at last, seeing that the object of the experiment was fully answered, the fire was no longer supplied with fuel and the machine descended very gently in a field beyond the new Boulevard about 9000 yards distant from the Palace de la Muette, which distance they ran in between 20 and 25 minutes' time.
