The three" American nnvnl ofllcers, Limits. Illuton, Fur roll And Kloor, who abandoned their wrecked balloon near Moose Factory on tho elioro of James bay ou Dec. 14, nrrlved safely hero. Tho follow ing etory of tho balloon trip of tho airmen was told by Lieut. Stephen Fnrroll : Lieut. Fnrrell's story of the flight and wanderings of tho trio begins with tho morning hours In Kockuway naval nlr station on December lit uud goes on through the flight, tho landing, and up to tho meeting with tho Indian at Moose Factory who saved their llvc.i. "It was Just nu ordinary balloon hop," Fnrroll began. "It wus for train ing. Hlnton told me after wo left thut the gas In the balloon wus ten days old, stale uud Impure. "Illuton called me up at uhout twen ty minutes to 12 (December ID) and told me I could come on lllght If 1 wanted to. No special orders aro needed. "Wo Just got permission from Commander Cuminlngs of the post and Executive Officer Douglas. "I am senior ofllcor of tho three, but Kloor wus In command of thu flight, as lie Is a balloon officer und I am a gunnery ofllcor. I have been In aviation for three years und have flown In every kind of ulrcruft. Wo left at 1 p. in. Left With Four Plaeons. "Wo had four pigeons; wo lot tho first ono go with a message for tho Brooklyn navy yard. "Illuton nnd Kloor had heavy un derwear and uniforms under their fly ing suits. I hud only tho underwear and tho flying suit. I hud a grip with my uniform und some other things In It, We had eight sandwiches and two thermos bottles of hot coffee. Nono of tho underweur was olectrlcully heated. "Wo expected to land next morn ing In upper New York state. We had no maps or charts except a railroad map of tho Canadian Quebec Central line, which I bought. Wo had three chances to land before wo did. We did stop onco at Wolls, N. Y. "We mado fust to a treo near a light It was In a window 'of a farm 'house. A man camo along und wo aBkcd him where wo were, no told us, but he could not say whut big town jwo were near. Kloor Game to Go On. "Wo cast loose and went up again. It rained and blow during the night. We could have lunded at Ottawa ut 11 p. m. Wo saw tho lights of a big 'city. But Kloor Is JubI u kid and ho was enthusiastic about a long lllght. We all agreed that wo ought to do u decent flight. Thuro had been rain from Wells ou. "Tho wind was north by west. That night it blew hard and ruined. There was no sign of civilization. But wo thought It would be ull right In tho morning. At daylight wo saw only for ests. Thu ruin had calmed down. There were low clouds and fog. "Tho ruin stopped nt 8 a. m. (De cember 14). We ate all our food dur ing the night. Wo had two packages of cigarettes und ono box of matches, but you cannot sinoko In a hydrogen balloon. Wo realized wo were In bad that morning." At 11 n. in. the sun camo out and liented up tho gas In tho balloon; thut makes tho gas expand and sends the balloon up. "We wore lighting to keep In tho air. All we saw was trees, lakes, und enow. It was about 1:30 p. in. that wo paw a shock In tho woods. At least we thought It was a shack. Wo were In doubt about this until wo heard a dog baric. "I took bearings with the compass ou the shack and tho placo where tho dog barked. Wo decided to land. Wo were In low clouds about 1,000 feet high. Tho wind was north by west, tho sun had been heating up our bag and wo began to go up. Wo reached 0,500 feet. It takes a long time to go from that height. Make a Bad Landing. "Tho clouds wore below us and above us. Wo got down about two o'clock. It was a bad landing and wo wero pretty badly shaken up. Wo were not hurt or thrown out, but (ho basket was smashed against tho ground. "The balloon caught Iwtwoen tho trees. We had taken the pigeons Into the basket to protect them from the landing. Usually they ride In ti cage tied outside of tho basket. Tho weuth cr was clear and nearly freezing. "All three of us stopped out of tho basket In our flying clothes. I took the grip. We were soaking wet. Kloor took tho pigeon cage. Wo started oft at a terrific pace to 'got whero tho dog barked. We did not stqp to In sped the balloon.- From the bearings I took In the balloon wo figured tho dog to le south by east from us. Start on Long Trek. "Wo started through the forest on 4hnt lint. I carried uiy grip for ono S? II I ? WffoMM 1 The three balloonist loft Ilockaway, N. Y about noon on Decombor 13. A ntorni caught them, night enme down, und they were driven far to the north. Aftnr aruuriK ail niRiu and mc nexi morning, tho three descended on tho shores of James bay. In the wlldn of Can ada. They hud made the 800 mile trip In a little over twenty-four bourn, and dur- nir i n tlniH tliev had Heun Mil little, ex cept tho storm clouds bolow them. They wandered four days in tno woous, anu on day. Wo went on until dnrk and made n lire. I smoked two cigarettes while wo rested; co did Kloor. Illu ton did not smoke. Wo did not cut that day; we car ried the pigeons until the next day. There was somo snow on tho ground, ho wo got a lot of pine brush to lie on nnd I picked a lot of rotten wood with my penknife. Wo had no fire arms only thu knife und tho box of matches. "Hlnton went on a little to find a stream. Whllo ho was gone he lulu off his Hying suit to muke better head way and ho could not. find It on his way back. "Thut night I slept next to Hlnton. Ho was next to the fire. I was on tho oiitshle. Kloor lay off to ono side nnd slept. We got on flno together In tho forest. Hlnton nnd I didn't sleep. Wo got up at daylight. They Eat First Pigeon. 'We uto a pigeon that morning, De cember 10. Wo cleaned a pigeon und cooked It. Wo divided It In three parts, n couple of mouthfuls apiece. Wo drank wuter out of moose track and holes In the ground. That Is what probably made mo sick tho next day., We sturtcd off, I carrying my grip. "Wo came to a creek that day (tho Indluns call this stream tho Nesco huga). Hlnton wns leading and kept moving too fur to the west. "I proposed to him to go southeast In 30 minutes wo got to tho croek, which wus not frozen over, so we had to follow tho bank. Wo camped again In good shape. I, for one, wns not very hungry, but wo woro cold when wo stopped walking. "Wo had mado a firo and rested at noon, but wo did not cat in order to conserve food. We argued about whero wo were. I figured It some where In tho woods In Cunnda, but waBn't sure. How They Were Garbed. "At that time I was still In my flying suit, Hlnton In uniform nnd Kloor in uniform nnd flying suit Wo all wore flying boots. My grip kept getting foul of trees, so I throw It uwny ut ten o'clock, but took enro to put It In a tree. Before that I got my good English shoes out of the grip und put them on nnd throw away my llylng boots, which wqro pretty ncur gone. "I did not make moro than four miles tho first day nor moro than sev en or eight tho second day. Our night camp wus on tho creek. We did not eat. During tho duy we nil nibbled a bit of a kind of moss wo found grow ing around. "Wo were not cheerful. Wo begun to dread that this dog barking prop osition wus a kind of phoney. There woro so many noises, I figure now it was a wolf barking. Wo saw n lot of wolf trucks. Youngest Flyer Prays. "Kloor told us ho had been praying not out loud, hut Just to himself. I'm not much on religion; I didn't pray. No more than I mado n propo sition they should dine off me. "Hlnton and I discussed our course while Kloor was praying. Wo had to admit we were In n pretty serious Jam and felt pretty blue. But when wo quit we had a hunch that tho third day was going to bo lucky. "We ate the second pigeon and killed tho other ono the morning of tho third day December 10. Kloor put ttho dead pigeon In his pocket. Wo did this to do away with tho cage. "During tho night ninton nnd Kloor cot their feet In the lire. Now their llylng shoes woro burnod and they hud to throw them nwuy und walk In uni form hoots. My shoes were In the host shupe. Hikers Growing Weak. "We were all growing weak and fell n lot In holes uud over trees. Hlnton was very weak. I felt like vomiting Hlnton was nauseated, his stomach wus very bad, but our heads were as clour as they aro right now. "If we hud had u definite object we could have gone fifty or a hundred miles without so much distress. Wo saw so much of the same sort of woods that It appeared we wero not going anywhere. But wo woro not going In circles because we wero Hloorod by the compass zigzagging through the wood. That counted against us. December 18 woro led Into Moose Factory by an Indian, when they were on the vorjte of (loath. Thry left there Decem ber 28 for tho 260-mlU trip to the railroad ut Mattlco. 5 On January 11 tho three, with their guides, reached Mnttlce, on the trans continental railroad. They had como 200 miles through woods and snow. This trip ordinarily takes eleven days or more. They were lost to tho world for 29 days In all. "I begun to Ing behind pretty much nnd Hlnton suggested that I take off my flying suit. I did, nnd wnlkcd In my underclothing tho rest of tho trip. "Hlnton wrapped my suit around him as a sort of blunket. Just before noon I had a nusty full over n tree trunk Into a hole three feet deep. I was bruised and scratched but I got up alone. Hunch Falls to Help Out "We didn't eat at noon und made fire nnd warmed up and started off nguln nil together. We were pretty blue when we camped the third night Our hunch nbout the third being tho lucky day lllvvered. "Hlnton said, 'Let's write some let ters and put them In our pockets,' but I said, 'No, wo'll havo plenty of time to do that. "Hlnton could hnrdly hold his head up. It was very cold and It sure was our worst night. We slept again with Hlnton near the fire und me on the outside. I had tho flying suit on, hut It was too cold to lie still, and I would get up often. "When I did Hlnton did too, and wo would both sit near the fire for a while. Kloor slept fine, almost In tho fire. He kept getting his feet In tho fire nnd wo would have to pull them out. "Next morning wo kidded tho kid lhat's what wo called Kloor and told him ho had been hogging tho fire. Hlnton had the matches, because ho knows how to light n fire. Wo wero careful with tho matches. Wo would go stiff when It took Hlnton two matches to get tho fire going. Trio In Bad Shape. "Kloor had lots of pep after his night's sleep and Hlnton was In bad shape. I was a bit better off than Hlnton, but not much. We stnrted off without food along tho bank of tho creek. I had a hunch tbat night might havo frozen up tbo creek and I left them to go down and try It out." The dlstanco covered that afternoon was not moro than three miles. Next day (Thursday) almost tho same story wits' repeated at nightfall, their dls tnnco from tho "hypothetical" vlllago being still ns undetermined ns when they made their landing. Frldny proved to bo tho lucky day, In tho morning Tom Marks, a Crco Indian trapper, who was Inspecting his traps on tho outskirts of tho set tlement of Moose Factory, an Island In tho bottom of James bay, noticed tracks which ho Judged to havo been mndo by threo white men. Ills curi osity getting tho better of tho nntlve Indian timidity In tho presenco of tho unusunl, Murks followed up the tracks until early In tho afternoon ho camo upon the three bnlloonlsts. Kloor's Story of Trip. "Tho first days out wero tho worst," said Lleiitenunt Kloor, describing their experiences. "Wo had practiced walk- lug with snowshocs at Moose Factory whllo we wero thoro und thought wo wero experts with them, but after go lug u day on tho trull changed our minds. It wns qirtto stormy, too, nnd the llrst week wo were out wo en countered threo sovoro blizzards. 'On Sunday n week ago it becamo so bud wo were compelled to retrnco our stops for moro than a mile. Wo also found that tho dogs we hod with us woro Inadequate for the loud wo wero carrying and had to send back for more. The weather, however, was not very cold. Wo hnd lota of moose meat to eat nnd I think we are all feeling flno." "What scientific values to bo de rived from your trip?" wns asked. "Tho main scientific fact demon strated," replied Kloor, "Is that a balloon of 35,000 cubic feet capacity can remnln in tho air for more than twelve hours. Wo wero In tho nlr for twenty-live hours and conld have remained there longer. Further than that I think nothing ought to be said until we report to our superiors." Dogs Hall the Arrival. Kloor, a blue-eyed, ruddy young fel low who looked to bo In the pink of condition, wus tho first to arrive. Ho camo whirling around the bend of tho MlBsana,lbl Into the town, riding on the dog sled, with Sam Salnsbury, Toronto explorer, who bad gone to meet htm. "I feel fine.
