14 PROFESSOR HIGGINA' BA.LLOON. The balloon by a fall from which Professor Higgins lost his life, being released from all weight, passed quickly out of sigAt, and came down ultimately at Pocklington, Yorkshire. A private letter from the Huggate Rectory, describing how it was found says, "We were iust going for a short walk with the clergyman Def ore dinner when we perceived a large balloon rapidly approaching. It sailed over the lawn and justwieared the church spire. It had a great reat in it, and something hanging from it. which turned out to be the parachute. The balloon fell in a field close by of course we followed it as fast as we could run. The parachute was full of snow in. hard frozen blocks, and a little trapeze seat was attached." Something might have been, gained to science by this eventful journey if only some self-recording instruments had been within the car. It must have gained a great height to have got into this condition.
