(1) Suddenly the South Coast appeared under us, and Mr. Coxwell called out, “Put up 
the instruments! help me! we shall be in the sea, we cannot go over!” I began to put 
the instruments up instantly. He called for immediate assistance; we pulled open the 
valve as wide as possible, and at 2 48™ came to the ground with a violent crash; we were 
of course all thrown down ; my head was struck behind, my ankle sprained, and I received 
a few other trifling bruises. Mr. Coxwell and Mr. Ingelow escaped unhurt; but nearly 
all the instruments were broken, with the exception of two large bottles of air for Prof. — 
Tyndall; the two other bottles were broken, and unfortunately three very sensitive thermo- 
meters which had been kindly furnished me for these experiments by M. A. D’Abbadie, 
The descent took place about half a mile from the Newhaven Station. It was fully seven 
or eight minutes before any one came to our assistance. When descending we observed | 
two rents in the balloon, owing to the valve-line having torn it. Mr. Coxwell tenaciously 
held on to the valve-line, and thus crippled the balloon, which never rose. We returned 
to London by the train leaving Newhaven at 7" 30™, The blue of the sea had been mistaken — 
for mist. ‘Temperature on the ground 57°.
